Restaurants near Angel Island, San Francisco California

Always An amazing experience! Everything on the Menus is dependable and superb. We had an extra person and a miscommunication on our reservation however Val the lead hostess and manager made a huge effort to accommodate us and ensure we could fit our guest. I’ve never seen a manager go through so much effort and be as gracious as Val was and go above and beyond to help us out. Thank you Val.

This is my favorite restaurant. I’ve been going here for decades. Most of us have waited all year for our reservations. All I ask is DO NOT rush us through our meal. When I tell you that I would like to finish my martini before we order, I am not joking. And having to tell you multiple times to just let us enjoy our drinks is super frustrating. Also, don’t be rude. This will affect your tip. Just leave us alone and we will let YOU know when we are ready. Literally, just back off.

The food is delicious and creative,not the usual predictable far. The chef owner is from Turkey. The breaking of bread appetizer with various Turkish spread like hummus, smoked red pepper compote, olives and pickled vegetables was such fun to share. I had the Anatolian pasta dish with mushrooms, hazelnuts and winter squash while my friend had lamb ribs.

Nick, the server was fabulous. We go once or twice a year as we live out of the area and we look so forward to it. Everything was perfect except my lasagna wasn’t as it was last year and was a little dry and lacking sauce. I was surprised the wine was excellent. The salad was perfect. The bread was to die for overall I love going there, especially in North Beach.

Excellent food. Great service. Not noisy, valet parking great
