Came in for a late Thursday lunch during the off-hours , and the service was still completely on point. Super attentive staff from the moment we walked in. We started with the seasonal citrus and beet salads—both tasted amazingly fresh and crisp. I saw a few new menu items and tried the Snake River steak, which turned out delicious and cooked perfectly. My wife got her go-to salmon and loved it as always. Wrapped things up with a solid crème brûlée and gelato. The place looks great, too. You can tell they keep updating the decor, and the vibe is easily one of the best around. Passed a big group of Googlers heading out as we walked in—it really is the go-to spot for Silicon Valley business lunches. Always a great experience here, already looking forward to the next visit.
