Queit hidden Gem

by CindyMeyer

We were delighted to find this quiet corner of North Beach!! There are few places still around that you can catch game 5 of the World Series while listening to live Piano music! Great drinks, wonderful food. We tried the Duck fat fries and Calamari (which had a perfect kick of spice) to start, then the Burger and Linguini with Clams for our entrees. Everything was delicious!

  • Pros: Ambiance, Character, Charm and one hell of a Manhattan

The atmosphere was wonderful and the restaurant has old San Francisco Charm. We can't wait to go back!
