The classic red awning, outdoor bistro seats and sculpted hedges outside this 1906- vintage bistro make it feel like something you'd find in some tastefully posh part of London--upscale, but old money rather than new--and the red lacquered woodwork, warm sconces, and the baby grand in the corner keep it in that class. Chef Hoss Zare's French-Mediterranean menu reflects California's bounty of fresh fish, meat and produce (Smoked trout w/ roe, cucumber fettuccini, and dill crème fraiche; braised single-bone short ribs w/ foie gras-truffle oil bone marrow and tomato confit), while pastry ace…

Great Food - Categorized with the wrong number of $
by futbolfan1 at Citysearch
Maybe I am confused, but $$ I thought this meant moderate prices while $ meant cheap.
Cocktails for $10 has become a trend in San Francisco and put the meal for two that inlcuded the lamb burger, the duck and Veggy Kesteh (doubtful on the spelling) and two cocktails put us at over $70.
The menu is varied but the entry average price of $22 I don't think is that moderate. This review I guess is more about the people who are marking this with only $$.
- Pros: Excellent service, good food, prompt late evening seating
- Cons: On the expensive side

New best restaurant in San Francisco.
by agaone1 at Citysearch
The best addition to the SOMA. I love eating out late and they open until midnight. Everything about this place is special. Amazing decore and fantastic service and food speaks for itself.
- Pros: Ambience, Service, Food

Great experience!
by hdalsy at Citysearch
Went here just a few days after opening and had a lovely evening. Everything was very well done. The food was delicious, service impeccable and a very nice ambiance. Our waitress (Meg?) was so sweet and had excellent wine recommendations. Even the table stewards were courteous and quick on the water refills. Chef Zare himself came out and spoke with us and was so pleasant and genuine. The goat cheese cheesecake was faaaabulous and what I didn't know before we went was that the pastry chef was a contestant on season 2 of Top Chef. Would definitely go here again!!!

New adventure at fly trap
by hbgreen at Citysearch
Great new restaurant at the old fly trap. Very exciting Mediterranean cuisine. We had dinner there last night
and we very happy with everything. Great lamb burger and the salmon was too good. Try the avocado dip appetizer and the butter lettuce salad. Will be going back there soon!
- Pros: food and service
