I've eaten here many times over the years. It is one of my favorite SF restaurants. Great atmosphere and food (always get the pasta with Truffles if it is on the menu), service is first-rate, and it has a fantastic wine program. Always ask for more Parker House rolls.

Delicious food and excellent wine choices. The server was also very accommodating to the fact that I was a single diner and offered modified prices to a good amount of the menu items which was a first for me. Don’t skip on the anchovy sundae!

What an amazing restaurant! The food was spectacular! Two people in our party have dietary restrictions & they were able to accommodate us kindly. The food & ambiance were truly a wonderful refreshing delight! The complexity of the dishes were just tantalizing! We cannot wait to go to the city just to eat there! Another bonus- I feel amazing today after eating such well crafted, well spiced Indian food. So thank you!

Walked into this charming and quaint bistro in an upscale neighborhood. The three of us were celebrating a birthday. We ordered from a special "School Night" menu. Good portion sizes and good value. Meal came with complimentary warm bread. All of us had the endive salad...consisted of endives, mixed greens, blue cheese, pecans, pears and pomegranate in vinaigrette. Very Refreshing! Lingcod Meuniere filet includes sauteed potatoes, green beans, parsley, capers and croutons in a brown butter sauce. Fish prepared perfectly, beautifully plated, tasty and flavorful. Lamb Shank entree with kidney beans, was lean and tender with meat falls off the bone. It was juicy and full of flavor. Our choice of dessert was the delectable Apple Tarte Tatin which came in layers of thin apple slices on puff pastry with a scoop of vanilla ice cream added. Apple Tarte Tatin was light and enjoyable. Not too sweet. Food was AWESOME!! Waitstaff was warm and welcoming. Servers were attentive and very efficient. Our water glasses were topped off during our entire meal. Will definitely be back!
