    Everything was really wonderful however I asked for a to go box and the waiter ended up taking it away to box it and when I returned home I saw they removed half of my food so I didn't have my full leftovers. That was really disappointing.

    We had a party of 10 to celebrate my husband’s dinner. Lovely service, delicious food family-style that they coursed out with accompanying changes of clean plates. Great communication about the pacing. I also ordered a cake to be delivered to the restaurant. They were readily accommodating and let me know as soon as I arrived that my cake had been delivered earlier in the afternoon as planned. We sat in a space upstairs where you can see the rest of the restaurant but had some noise separation.

    Omg, the smoked Old Fashioned drinks. Jose at the bar is a maestro. The pastas - pesto, carbonara, bucatini….the lamb chops….the pannacotta and the tiramisu - all over the top. The ambience is “old San Francisco” and connotes the spirit of the 1930s - a gorgeous combination for comfort and ease. Highly recommend.

    This is one of our very favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Food and service are impeccable. It is particularly lovely to sit in the main room with the fireplace where they are often roasting meat. It is a special place. Don’t tell too many people!!
