Nice restaurant and service, reasonable prices, generous portions

by foodielover

It's better to be seated in the front room, the smaller back room has a mildewy odor. The service is attentive, but strangely, each time the wait person would come by to fill our water glasses, he would fill the same glass of one person even though all the glasses could use a little more water. The tuna tartare was very good, especially the tangy cilantro-lime aioli served with it. There was plenty of tuna for the taro crisps served with it. The corn soup was good but sweeter than I expected. The grilled salmon was very good over grain and pea sprouts, didn't really like the pork tenderloin. Their polenta is thick and buttery, would recommend this if you like polenta. The prime rib was served with a lot of sauce, which made the fries soft/soggy after some time. I especially enjoyed the vanilla panna cotta. It was light, creamy and soft. The trio of sorbets was ok, I preferred the mango over the raspberry or lemon sorbets. The prix fixe dinner is the best buy, 3 courses for only $30. The prices on the website need to be updated, as my tuna tartare was more like $10.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere, panna cotta is good, great place to dine before the opera/symphony
• Cons: parking, need to be careful of the neighborhood a block away

All you can drink wine...What could be better?

I normally don't write reviews, but I had such a wonderful experience here, I just have to share.

I first heard of this place from a friend's recommendation, then I went and searched the net for reviews and all reviews were pointing to great. So I decided to book a reservation and ever since that dinner, I've haven't been able to stop thinking about how fabulous this restaurant was.

My boyfriend and I did the prix fixe wine dinner, which was $49 per person and you each get an appetizer, entree and dessert....BUT the best part is, they give you a list of about 10 wines that you can have glass after glass of. Our waitress would keep bringing us different glasses of wine before we finished the others. And they weren't cheap wines either, they tasted like they were about $10 or so bottles of wine. Oh, and their service was EXCELLENT as well. Food was very delicious, made perfectly.

You need to try this restaurant if you're in SF. Too bad I'm down in LA and I have yet to find a place like this...

• Pros: Beyond great value for your money
• Cons: None

Good dinner, but wouldnt go out of my way to eat here again

Went for a romantic dinner with my boyfriend. Good wine selection, service was good and friendly, food was average. Nothing wow-ed me though. Tables were a little to close together, and my boyfriend couldn't get over how dirty the front windows looked! He wanted to wipe them down himself! Good meal, but not the romantic intimate dinner I invisioned.

• Pros: Good service
• Cons: Nothing amazing about it
