Immune to a Bad Experience

by RichardWS

The headline says it all. This restaurant is immune to one having a bad experience. I have eaten here over six times in the past six months, and it just keeps getting better! I just wish I lived in the Marina area so that I could frequent it more!

(The Red Sangria is amazing!)

Marina let down

by 1mag

In 12 years living in SF and dining out regularly, this ranks as one of the worst 3 restaurants I?ve eaten at. We had to wait 15 minutes to be seated for our reservation. Our group of 7 was squeezed into a table for 6. The entire table had to be moved out for someone to use the restroom. It took 10 minutes for them to take our order and another 10 minutes to bring our drinks. 20 minutes is a long time to sit at a restaurant with nothing but water in front of you.

The food (small plates) did not match the menu on website. The variety, selection and overall taste of their dishes was uninspired. We were told that you can only order their grass-fed steak medium-rare or well done and that they ?don?t do temperatures.? Too bad they made such a fuss about their steak because it was ultimately chewy and overly buttered. We had to ask 3 times for one couple?s overly cooked steak to be delivered. By the time it came, the rest of the table was finished, so we watched as they ate by themselves.

There are so many wonderful restaurants in SF. This is not one of them.

• Pros: Fun Marina location
• Cons: Food, Service.
