    We had a very large party (which is always a hassle for restaurants). The exceptional host helped me from step 1 on the phone with reservations, and all the way through our dining experience. Service was attentive and quick. Food, as always, was wonderful.

    First time at this restaurant. Welcoming and friendly from the host desk all the way through leaving when several staff thanked us and said goodbye. The back patio transports you away as though you are on vacation. The food was incredible and they accommodated a food allergy with no fuss and went above and beyond.

    It is a wonderful and delicious place to have brunch over the weekend. The outside garden dining is ideal, however, diners beware that outside can be very noisy to have a conversation with your dining partner (s).

    Lovely brunch in the Castro. Food was solid. Better than average for the Castro. The service and the atmosphere were the major part of the enjoyment.

    The NY strip was tough, the bone marrow needed more time, the mashed potatoes pedestrian. At this price point, I expect better. Beautiful garden with warm waitstaff. Would have given 5 stars for service if the empty water carafe was refilled during our meal.

    The garden patio was an absolute delightful setting! The food was delicious, with lots of hearty vegetarian options (not just salad). Service was amazing - from booking to dining. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!
