Who can ask for anything more?. This review is for the bar only. I prefer to eat at the bar because (a) you don't need a reservation and (b) you can order the burger, which is amazing. You can also order off the main menu. The food is always impressive and the service is outstanding. Even seated at the bar, they treat you like royalty and they never rush you. The only downfall is it's an expensive restaurant so take a date you want to impress or make your client take you and pick up the check!…

Overpriced. I am currently visiting San Francisco from New York. I must admit, I am a food snob and believe food, service and price come hand in hand when rating a restaurant. Service was great, atmoshphere was mature and chic.

The food was just over priced for what it was.

I thought the shortbreads were the best appetizer among the six that were ordered.

The lobster was WAY over priced for the $40 they tagged it at and the sea bass was good.

Dishing out $120 (with tip) for each person that included a few cocktails and 1 bottle of red wine was just not worth it.

I don't mind dishing out $120, just give me something to sing about!

In all honestly, if the dinner were to come out a bit cheaper, I think the whole experience would have been different.…

Overrated food, great customer service. We also got to the restaurant 20 minutes early as recommended and were seated at our reservation time. It took about 15 minutes before a server came to our table to ask if we wanted drinks - by this time, we had already read the entire menu and were ready to order. Our waiter, Charles, and sommelier, Andrew, were both great. Very knowledgeable and fun. The food on the other hand, was mediocre at best. The handmade cold cuts appetizer was really good but the scallops appetizer was just ok. I had the venison with red cabbage and spaetzel. The venison was cooked to perfection, but the red cabbage was overseasoned with cloves or something that was very overpowering. The spaetzel was panfried and had the consistency of styrofoam with absolutely no flavor. The cheese plate had large portions, but they were out of several cheeses so they substituted with larger portions of one of the other selections.

The bill was a whopping $300 for dinner for 2 with appetizer, entre, bottle of inexpensive wine, and cheese plate. All in all, I was disappointed after reading all the great things, especially in Wine Spectator. With all the great places in San Francisco, I would go elsewhere for a better value.…
