This restaurant is a gem. From the servers to the chefs it is one of the best restaurants we have been to. It is pricey but so worth it. Our server Sara was a delight, full of knowledge about the menu and offerings and went out of her way to help us find a place to go for Thanksgiving. The Endive salad and pizzas are perfect. Squid ink pasta was different and delicious and salmon crudo was delightful. Drinks are on point. Really can't go wrong with any of the offerings here. Try it!

Unbelievable. After a week in San Francisco, this food blew it al away. Trust the servers, I filled up dining alone but managed with their help to make the perfect combo.

Charming outdoor luncheon with efficient service, oftentimes by the host Dante himself. There were little acorns that punctuated the luncheon from the oak trees above, but none caused a problem. This is a vegetarian restaurant that understands presentation and taste.

The Farm House has a very cozy feel to it. The service is efficient and friendly. The menu is not extensive but has many interesting dishes, all of which were well prepared. Unlike many restaurants, there was no pressure to eat and leave. We had a very relaxed dinner and were able to have a conversation without having to shout. Overall it made for a very pleasant evening.

The renovated space is very attractive, the food was delicious (a range of appetizers and a mushroom pizza), cocktails and wine were spot on. Service was attentive but not excessively so. Lovely meal.
