    Overall a really lovely meal. We went with the 3 course option. The starters were amazing, the beetroot starter and the octopus. The cook on the seafood in our paellas was spot on. The wine was very good with lots of options. The desserts were ok, I couldn’t taste the chestnut in my chestnut pie. On making the reservation, Open Table asked if we were celebrating anything, I mentioned that it was our wedding anniversary but it wasn’t acknowledged so not sure it was worth mentioning. The service was really good but what was really lovely was the ambiance. We had a lovely evening and I am really happy that we chose one65 for our special celebration.

    Glad to finally experience John's Grill in SF. The food was superb. Started with tomato and cheese appetizer. Then lobster bisque, followed by steak and lobster tail. Finished with their bread pudding with creme anglaise. All top notch. Cocktails excellent also. The restaurant was already crowded and noisy at 4:30 PM. There was apparently a convention in town.
