    A truly fantastic meal and experience. It is elevated and comfortable. The flavor profiles and progression were on point. The pastry and bread work was spectacular. The service was attentive and thoughtful. The energy in the room was vibrant. We were so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy an evening with the Sun Moon team.

    The food was delicious. The staff was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. The setting was peaceful. The whole ambience was relaxing and engaging. The personalized menu created anticipatory delight that was invariable exceeded by the food itself, once presented. It was our 58th Wedding Anniversary and it was mentioned to us the moment we entered. It was even printed on our menu.

    Excellent dinner. It is a very warm and welcoming environment. It is a cozy space. We were lucky to get a seating and we enjoyed a very thoughtful and satisfying dinner. Every dish that was prepared comprised of seasonal ingredients with an innovative twist. Every morsel was delicious and just made us want more. We will return again throughout the year to discover what other ingredients the chefs use and what they will create with it. A definite must try! Highly recommend!

    A must-try for any food aficionado. Your money and time are well-spent. Stop by here before going to Commis or Chez Panisse.

    This restaurant is a masterpiece in every sense—ambiance, service, and most importantly, the food. The décor was minimalistic yet inviting. The staff? Flawless. Attentive without being overbearing. Every introduction came with genuine enthusiasm, and it was clear they were passionate about what they do. Now, let’s talk about the food. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. This restaurant has set the bar impossibly high, such an accompaniment for a young restaurant. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself, it’s an experience you won’t forget. Bravo to the team for creating magic on every plate. We’ll be back, as soon as we can get the next reservation.

    Lovely restaurant in an unlikely part of town. Outstanding innovative fresh food served by warm friendly staff. It’s a tasting menu worthy of royalty. All local, seasonal and beautifully presented. A couple of dishes stand out — a bite of S.F. Dungeness crab with tofu and fermented peppers and an egg custard tart with salmon roe. There are only a few tables, so it’s hard to get a seat. You won’t be disappointed though. The proprietors are gracious and welcoming when offering their outstanding cuisine. Unpretentious and professional. You don’t get better than this.
