Location in the historic, fabulous Claremont Hotel can’t be beat. We dined on a crystal clear night with views of the bay and the city that are unparalleled. Attentiveness of our server was fabulous and we did not feel rushed in anyway, one of my favorite places to spend an evening as a lifetime Bay Area resident.

We loved the lighting, cocktails, and small plates. We felt very well taken care of by the bartender, Stephen. We sat at the bar which allowed us to go off of the set menu, and to ask questions and chat with the staff.
