    What a perfect night! Amazing food! I’m from Santa Ana ES and this place made me go back to original pupusas flavor! Expensive but worthy! Thank you so much

    Yes! A restaurant where we can hear one another. Rare treat! Food and drink both thoughtfully and competently made. Fave dish was the Petrale over a silky cauliflower puree, with roasted cauliflower, pickled slivers of Fresno pepper, a light hint of Indian spice, topped with versus-soaked raisins, cashews, and coconut. Perfectly cooked fish, symphony of flavors that worked great together. The chicken liver mousse appetizer was good, as were croquettes of braised lamb, but not as star-worthy as that entree (we split 3 dishes + dessert). Apple cake was also luscious, great ending. My husband enjoyed his drinks, and I got a complimentary virgin Negroni (small) as a gift -- it was our anniversary dinner out-- and him, some Champagne. We'll definitely be back. Service was quietly competent, and the vibe was really nice. Full restaurant on a weeknight, but still space and privacy from other conversations.

    Went to lunch with a colleague to discuss business. The staff was expecting us and allowed us to choose the most comfortable booth. Since it was our first time, we asked for recommendations. We enjoyed each and every dish and can't wait to return to try more items on the menu.

Discover San Francisco

Farm-to-table is everywhere now, but it was here first. Just north of San Francisco, the values-forward counties of Marin and Sonoma offer an abundance of sustainably sourced produce. Of course, there’s more to eat in the Bay than leafy greens alone—don’t miss the mainstays like Cioppino (a seafood stew best eaten with thick-cut garlic bread), Mission-style burritos, local oysters and Neapolitan pizza where pizzerias around town war for the ultimate version. The city has long been home to distinct international flavors, so for authentic dim sum, Chinatown tops the charts. The Mission is ablaze with longstanding taquerias, steakhouses and a new wave of artisanal bakeries and coffee houses. And the Fisherman’s Wharf, while touristy, is the spot for Bay caught seafood. From there, we recommend walking to Crissy Field for Golden Gate Bridge gazing and sparkling sunshine.
