Shrutika SachdevJune 3, 2016Start with an Oyster and Deviled Egg and DON'T MISS the Saffron Tonnarelli with the local dungeness crab - a perfect bowl of pasta!!! I'll be back to try more!
Vihang MehtaAugust 18, 2018We got the vegetarian tasting menu and were absolutely stuffed even before the dessert course. We loved the spinach salad with fig and white balsamic, and also the eggplant soup!
Chris WeberNovember 7, 2021I think that was the best vegetarian food I ever had.Beside that the duck and the halibut were amazing,too. And the desserts …puh… really, really good. Will come again.
Doug de WetJuly 23, 2015Everything was delicious! We found portions to be quite generous. If sampling a variety of dishes, consider splitting an entrée to enable achieving one of their wonderful desserts.
Natalie KJuly 17, 2017Words can't even describe how amazing this place is. Things to try: calamari, deviled egg, king salmon, tagliatelle, and strawberry poppy seed profiteroles.
Odile RoujolMay 19, 2019You can’t be a top restaurant and have 10 people be near your table when you begin your dinner during 15 mn as no place for new guests to wait for their table !!!
Elias BizOctober 13, 2015Great for dates. Amazing food, service and ambience. Every dish we had blew us away -- devil egg, oysters mignonette, squid ink noodles, halibut, lentil squash soup, saffron Tonnarelli
Arthur Le MeurAugust 3, 2018Awesome meal! Tasting menu was very well thought out. Favorites were: deviled egg, steak, fig salad, zucchini pasta, chocolate cake
Katie ExtonJune 25, 2016Pasta here is so good. Pappardelle with chanterelles, brown butter, & sweet corn was so good we ordered a second one. Atmospheric room, good service. Genuine and unforced brilliance.
Stephanie TsaiJuly 11, 2017Cute restaurant, great service, delicious food! Recommend the bread, deviled egg, squid ink pasta, chocolate tart... all of it!
Lauren AdamsJuly 9, 2017Food was great and considering the service and ambiance, totally fairly priced. Tables are a bit close together because it's a small space. Wouldn't make my top top top list.
Jacob GyllenstiernaJune 10, 2015Start with the house vermouth cocktail. Order the cold squid ink noodles, salmon belly and the quail. Finish with the chocolate souffle. All delicious!- Odile RoujolMay 19, 2019Nice atmosphere. Lighting. And not too noisy which is always pleasant compared to many restaurants in San Francisco
Taiowa WanerMay 9, 2017The deviled egg was really interesting and tasty. Get the bread! I wish I had bought a loaf to go. I had the polenta, which was incredible.
Ben BarclayAugust 31, 2017Wide-ranging, well-priced wine list, great ambience, and solid menu options including the tomato soup, tagliatelle, deviled egg, and delicious bread.
James GoochMarch 13, 2020Simply fantastic. We had the tasting menu and loved it. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was relaxed. Highly recommended.
BiancaNovember 4, 2021Autumn squash, kibo farm little gems (actually an amazing green salad) and duck breast. Plus pinot noir. ❤️- Alice KamenetskyFebruary 24, 2018Awesome experience - bread is amazing, the pappardelle carbonara, deviled egg, and squid ink noodles
- Josh YJuly 27, 2022The quail and the aguachile are amazing! The corn lasagna is also very interesting and good!
- Delicious soup, excellent vermouth cocktails (no full bar), and huge rib-eye portions.
Becca GrossmanNovember 5, 2015Deviled egg was a must! Tomato salad, prawn pasta, and ricotta dumplings were also delicious.
G MoneyFebruary 6, 2016Try their house Vermouth cocktail. Flavorful and not going to get you wasted before dessert.
The bread and the vermouth. Bouillabaisse on point.
- The Taste SheriffApril 27, 2016The food was ok. Nothing blew my mind though, it was just ok. Price for 3 tiny appetizers, 2 main courses, and a bottle of wine ($50), was $210, including tip. Not coming back again.
kula yevonOctober 19, 2018I am not sure what is the deal with Americans....but i am convinced they know nothing about food..especially gourmet food.
