    Highly recommended. Food was great. The beans and burrata, radicchio salad, and smoked sweet potatoes were our favorites.

    Meh. The staff is super helpful and the ambience is great, but the food is hit-and-miss and at these prices one expects perfection.

    Wonderful food and service. Would be nice to dine such lovely food in an atmosphere where one can have an enjoyable conversation with fellow diners rather than having to yell over the relentless piped music. The food speaks for itself. The music dimities ones enjoyment.

    We came here because we visited this place first time a few months ago on our trip to SF and we loved it. However, this time was disappointing and left a bitter aftertaste. We came as soon as the restaurant opened, we waited in line on the street for the restaurant to open. Once we got seated we ordered our food fast with the drinks, because we were hungry and we had our kid with us. However, there were people around us who were seated after us almost 20 min and took their time to order their food, and somehow they ordered many of the same dishes we did and were served first. We were starving by the time our food came out and instead of dishes coming out one after another as for everyone else we had ours coming out at the same time. It was annoying to either have no food or everything coming at the same time. To have to wait for food for so long while people who came long time later getting the same dishes coming up in timely manner. It was so noticeable, at some point even waitress said there was a mixup, I assumed after ordering 8 dishes at least the dessert will be taken off the check since our services was not good, but no, fully charged for food coming up at the weirdest speed ever. There are too many good restaurants in SF, even if food taste great but is poorly served it’s better to go place where you can actually enjoy food and do not feel like your order has been forgot for a half of the service.

    Best meal I've had in a long time. Stellar service, excellent ambiance, and interesting seasonal menu. The food and cockails are works of art, but also accessible. Focus on flavor and textures as opposed to trying to super decandent.

    What a find! Food choices were great- love the fact they are shareable as it's hard sometimes for my wife and me to try different things at a restaurant with individual/full portions. Quality was excellent as dishes are innovative, accurately described, and tasty. Don't pass on the caviar potato cloud (insider tip- order one for yourself instead of sharing)! And the drinks are also innovative and quite balanced in their flavor profiles!

    The food was decent but way overpriced. The staff was incredibly attentive and courteous. Honestly I don’t think I’d go back again unless the price came way down. I’d say of the dozen or so Michelin places I’ve been to this is about 10th.
