    Best meal in SF! Sat at the bar booths and had the best experience with our waiter Kye. This was not a dinner, it was truly an experience!!

    Maybe it’s just not our style, but we didn’t really get why they are a Michelin star restaurant. The service was excellent, energetic vibe, but some portions were too small and the cocktails were kind of weird. Maybe that’s creativity? Our food orders tasted good but nothing to write home about. Disappointed….

    Outstanding food, particularly the signature duck and the Guinea hen. Kai is a superb waiter. He should own his own restaurant. Price reasonable for San Francisco.

    A beautiful space and a delicious experience. Treat it like a tapas situation and try as many dishes as possible.

    The food was moderately good , but nothing stood out as outstanding that I said ,” OMG I have to come back . Considering how much we paid , the location & the portions being in the small side , we won’t return . Service was decent.
