                                              A hidden gem in SF. A friendly & relaxing classic American boho style bar/restaurant. Really decent portion sizes at very reasonable prices. Fried chicken was a highlight for me, plus the humorous bartender is generous on measures and makes a mean cocktail. This is a great place to go with friends and family.

                                              Stopped in to try a bowl of mussels and garlic fries during their happy hour. It's nice that they're reviving Belden Lane, where we haven't dined since many years pre covid, back when Plouf was in full swing. It was empty during our 4:30 seating, so we grabbed some stools and met Arturo working the bar. Mussels in broth were great, and he was kind enough to offer us a side of bread to enjoy with it. Upstairs area is also great for small private events, which includes a small bar and restrooms. Appreciate the tour! Looking forward to returning soon.

                                              Overall it was fine. Limited drink and food menu, the place was sort of run down, and the waiter seemed like he was doing double duty. I ordered an Old Fashioned that not great and two of the folks in our party claimed their steaks were over cooked. Not horrible but not great either.
