Food: Decent food but not unforgettable

The BBQ Short Rib Quesadilla and Braised Beef Short Rib are highlights, but overall, the menu lacks creativity. Portions are generous, yet freshness often disappoints, leaving diners wondering if the food came from a microwave rather than a kitchen.

  • Great Creativity

    Unique, creative menu items impressed even well-traveled San Francisco foodie.

  • Okay Value

    Some find pricing fair for the quality, others deem it a bit high.

Vibe: Charming atmosphere with jazz undertones

The ambiance at the restaurant is a standout with an inviting setup and live jazz that transforms the dining experience. It's great for date nights, enhanced by craft cocktails that complement the mood splendidly.

  • Great for Dates

    Ambient lighting and romantic vibe frequently praised for date nights.

  • Okay Comfort

  • Bad Aesthetic

    Too dark to read menu; bright lights with cramped seating.

Perks: Slow service with occasional chaos

While parking is manageable and reservations are straightforward, the service often drags, with inattentive staff and noise levels making conversation a challenge, especially during busy times.

  • Great Parking

    Ample, free, next-door parking structures provide excellent convenience.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Balanced outdoor seating options but service can lag on busy days.
