The Scene – A heavy metal door opens to a red-carpeted staircase that descends to a hip underground supper club. Downtowners nurse cocktails at the back-lit blue-paneled bar in the lounge as a crooner works his way through "Days of Wine and Roses." In the main room, a floral spray flanked by large tea urns provides a lush centerpiece for chopstick-wielding diners cared for by eager-beaver servers. – – The Food – The dishes aren't cheap, but the kitchen's attention to detail makes the sticker shock bearable.

READ THIS ONE FOR THE KNOW~ BOYCOTT THIS PLACE
by localknowz
Obviously the PRIOR reviewer didn't read the PRIOR PRIOR reviewers paragraph. It wasn't about a bad dining experience, it was about NOT dining at an establishment that encourages the killing of sharks for their fins. Sharks are caught by the hundreds and literally all their fins are cut off immediately and they are thrown back alive into the water to die. To deter this inhumane treatment of sharks, boycotts on establishments that profit off this is what the reviewer was trying to say.
If you want a good blues club try Biscuit and Blues downtown.
- Pros: nada
- Cons: Shark fin soup, parking,

Do not eat there
by foodloveryum
This restuarant has shark fin soup on the menu. If you are planning on eating there, call and explain to the manager and the owner that you will not eat there until they stop offering shark fin soup. If you're unaware of this issue, please google "Stop Shark Fin".

Busy, busting place with great food and wine!
by shanghaieats
This previous diner obviously had a bad day...I have been there many many times and it is always good. Being Chinese, I know my food and i love wine so like anywhere, you need to know what to order. Ask the servers and they wil guide you to the signature dishes...The SF Chronicle named it one of the "Top 100 Restaurants" in the BayArea and gave it *** so how bad can it be. The live jazz is free and I even saw Stevie Wonder play there one night a few years back for free and he just jumped on the piano and played for almost two hours...mind blowing experience!
- Pros: Great overall experience
- Cons: parking is a pain
