We luckily found this little gem. Everyone that works there were amazing always came by to check on us. Wished my wife and I Happy Birthday like 20 times. We were here for food week and the menu was amazing. Everything we ordered was so delicious. Portion sizes per perfect, not to small, just the right size for us to both share and enjoy. Thank you for making a great Birthday.

We had the S.F. Restaurant Week special and loved it. Our waiter Jared was fantastic, attentive, and funny. We all enjoyed our starters of salmon crudo or little gem salad. My black cod main was so moist, perfectly cooked. The Dubai chocolate sundae was the best ever! A great meal all around.

Amazing! When guests come to town, this is the first place we think of. It’s a neighborhood gem. The small plates are great way to have delicious food while sharing great conversations. People are always surprised I order a salad to share and then they have the first bite and understand. And leave room for dessert! The pistachio olive oil cake is outstanding.
