   Came for brunch and sat in the parklet which was lovely and warm on a winter day. However, the food was lacking. The fried chicken sandwich came with aioli but it had little flavor, was not crispy, the meat was tough and it was difficult to take a bite. I did like the very soft bun. The truffled mac and cheese was overwhelmed by the truffle flavor, and the penne was a bit overcooked (way beyond al dente). Not a good value for the money, the prices were high. The cocktails are soju-based.

   Fantastic from the start. William took great care of us, and everything we ordered was familiar yet unique.

   Memento is a true gem in all of San Francisco! Everyone must experience it! The food, the ambiance and the superb service! Raf and Suhair are without a doubt the most welcoming and precious hosts! They make you feel as if you are dining in the home. The cocktails and food are awesome and expertly conceived, created and presented to you at table. Memento is by far our favorite restaurant in San Francisco. We think you will understand once you have been there. Please reserve a table now. Raf and Suhair, a personal "Thank you!" for being you and for this wonderful culinary marvel you have created! Love, Doug and Paul

   Our family has a lot of San Francisco brunch experience, and this food was WAY above average. The omelette was a delicious salty cheese delight, and paired so perfectly with the fresh bitter/acid tang of the perfectly dressed salad. The breakfast sandwich was an indulgent delicious sweet-salty bonanza. The french toast "for the table" came late so they comp'd it. Everything was amazing.

   We love meeting friends at Novy. Their healthy and delicious menu works for all of us. We also love that drinks are an option. Close to home and always a joy!

   Awesome experience. Alfred is a super knowledgeable server and wine master. I love sitting at the bar. Don’t skip the very rigatoni and coconut milk mussels.

   Forgettable little place with overpriced food. Wife’s salmon was ok: not bad but not special. I just paid $44 for a pork chop that was too tough to finish. The little shoestring fries appetizer was fun. When I mentioned the overcooked chop to the waiter and he I turn to ‘Raf’ (proprietor), the response was a shrug. No apology, no offer to remove the charge, nothing. Unprofessional. Don’t bother with this place.

    Place was a little too quiet with almost no other diners and a little dark. Appetizer (empanadas) was decent but nothing special, Orzo salad decent but nothing special, entrees were a bit better (Portobello Mushroom Burger & Salmon). Passionfruit Mousse for desert probably the highlight dish of the night. But the for the prices expect a lot more, can't say it felt like good value and wouldn't go back.

    Dear Devin, Thank you for your review and for highlighting the dishes you enjoyed, especially the Passionfruit Mousse! We’re glad the Portobello Mushroom Burger and Salmon were also a hit. I’m sorry to hear that the ambiance felt too quiet and dark, and that the pace of service didn’t meet expectations. We typically stay quite busy, but occasionally slower nights do happen, and I appreciate your understanding that we can’t always control traffic. We’ll definitely keep working to improve both atmosphere and service, even during quieter times. I’d love for you to give us another chance to deliver a better overall experience. Thank you again for your feedback! Best, Raf Owner
