    Moses, our waiter, is always such a delight. Dinner was delicious. My daughter always orders the ahi, and she says it's the best. I ordered the braised short ribs, and they never diasapute. Their steaks are always well prepared, vegetables are perfectly cooked, and a great wine selection. I have never had a bad meal here.

    Wow! This place is like stepping into a 3-star Michelin restaurant—every detail is perfection. The ambiance is elevated by live music, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The menu is a masterpiece, constantly evolving to surprise and delight. And the wine? Absolutely exceptional. My wife and I have experienced wine pairings and flights all over the Bay Area, and this is hands-down the best. And that’s saying something, considering we’re members of over ten wineries! The staff goes above and beyond, making every visit feel special. We’ve been here more than a dozen times, and each experience surpasses the last. Truly a gem—live music, incredible food, and impeccable service. A must-visit!
