    in a time when it feels like you’re paying a fortune for a lot of mediocre food, Creekwood continues to distinguish themselves with their amazingly delicious and generous menu at a fair and reasonable price point. the lamb shank is particularly worth trying, but the fresh pasta never disappoints.

    The bread served with amazingly delightful olive oil and balsamic is so good: be careful not to fill up before your delicious meal arrives. If you do, you can always take home the delicious leftovers for another day. The chef is an artist who brought us an amazing Happy-Anniversary-inscribed desert. Once the chef made me a delicious dairy-free polenta to accommodate my allergy, after I mentioned to the waiter how much I regretted not being able to partake of one of my favorite foods anymore.

    such a cute & cozy spot! My boyfriend & I came here for the first time last night to celebrate our anniversary - we sat at the high-top by the pizza oven - the atomosphere was so warm and the service was GREAT!! After moving here from Boston this summer, this has been our favorite restaurant in the bay we've tried so far!! The pizza was AMAZING & cocktails were delicious. We will be coming back very soon!!

    Great little restaurant in North Beach. We had the meatballs and the special which was osso bucco and it was delish! The wines they offer are great value as well. We will be back the next time we are in San Francisco.
