   Dropped off my girls while looking for parking. A little disappointed that we were seated outside. After talking to the hostess, she assured us that she would move us in when the table was available. All of the waiters were attentive and friendly. The food selection was limited (maybe it’s due to Christmas). Requested capellini over fettuccine but turns out it wasn’t an option. This would be my go to if I live near by but not if I had to drive for an hour.

   Food is pretty average in a city full of excellent restaurants.

   I think they are booked themselves for Christmas or some people got there realize they were sitting outside and insisted on sitting inside. Some people did not leave after their hour and a half allotted time so we were sat an hour and 15 minutes late we stood outside weren’t even offered a chair then after an hour they offered us to eat outside and I was like well whoever didn’t sit at this table must’ve taken ours inside so since we’ve waited so long, we’re gonna just wait a little bit longer. When we finally got inside, our server, rushed us so much. He was talking so fast and literally standing over me from behind because it was so crowded. I don’t know if they added an extra table for the holidays, but I don’t remember the restaurant being so table crowded probably the worst waiter I’ve had all year The saving grace after all this was the food was incredible. We did not complain because we understood that the time constraint was due to customers, although running a restaurant business in San Francisco and being open on Christmas Day you would have to expect stuff like this. At least it was better than Christmas Eve dinner here last year. The food was not very good and although we asked to be sat inside, they sat us outside and we froze. I definitely will go back to try it again because the food was so good this year, but I will not go back on a holiday.

   The food was great and the ambiance was wonderful. Given that it was Christmas Day, the wait staff were fantastic. You would have received five stars but two things: we were never told of the 90 minute limit which I totally understand given the holiday but we were not told that initially and the staff other than our waiter tried to get us to hurry. The other constructive comment is that there are at least four tables near the front door and we had one of them with a party of seven and a couple of seniors in the group. The front door continued to stay open despite us asking to have it closed; but a faulty door jam kept it open. I literally spent half my meal closing the door and holding it open for other customers. My table finally fixed it ourselves within two minutes using ribbon we had from our gifts-simple fix that the hostess or one of the other staff could have easily have rectified and the customers at the tables would have been completely happy.

   Arriving for the early bird special was great. We sat inside but would also love the outdoor seating with the fire pits. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a great salty (not too) crust on the bottom paired with the sweetness of the quinoa mix. Fantastic.

   The food is outstanding. The music is too loud making conversation difficult. But I’m going back

   Great last minute dinner for my friend and I. Our server was very sweet and gave great recommendations. I ordered the mussels and the black pepper fettuccine both of which were delicious. The only thing I wish I knew before going in was that they don’t have a full bar- only wine and soju cocktails

    You would be crazy not to have dinner here. It’s the best secret in town!
