    A three-course experience, expertly crafted to celebrate the season. Start your evening with Kumamoto oysters topped with exquisite sturgeon caviar. Savor the rich flavors of Porcini-crusted venison tenderloin, complemented by a vibrant reduced beet jus, balanced with a creamy finocchiona and potato gratin, and a sprinkle of grated licorice. Complement the experience with a surprise holiday pairing (at cost) and finish with a light and airy lemon mousseline, topped with a burnt meringue.

    Went here Friday night, had a reservation for 8:30 but didn’t account for SF downtown traffic so we were 15 minutes late, nevertheless they were very kind to accommodate us and seated us promptly. Servers were friendly and very attentive. Place was a bit loud, we just had to lean in a lot to hear each other, but the vibe was pretty cool. Place was nice, with a pretty balcony which for sure would be a nice area if the weather is good. The only thing I would say is that although the was an ok size for two with comfy chairs, tables were a bit too close to each other. There was a couple next to us who were acting crass and we just tried our best to ignore them. Drinks were hit and miss. I did enjoy the Mezcal, husband said the Punch at first was watery but his second order of the same drink was better. We just had apps. I enjoyed the oysters very much, the bluefin tuna tartare was delicious for me. The trout Pate was nothing special, it was ok, but the toast pieces were a bit hard. But all in all, we enjoyed our time here, and can recommend this place for a nice date night or dinner with friends.

    Really nice actually. I just went for the red cod tapa plate and a glass of white wine. It wasn't too busy since it was about 5:00 on a Friday evening. I found the ambience to be perfect, although I don't know what it is like when busier. Service was attentive and excellent. Price was what should be expected in San Francisco.

    Beautiful venue and view of the city - nice and friendly staff. The cocktail was good but the food was mediocre IMO.
