Leave a ReviewTicks every box for me. Large party but all food was great and came out at the right time. Some diners at the other end of the table suggested that their server was not welcoming but at the business end of the table it was professional enough to make the evening enjoyable.
We had our anniversary dinner here on October 26, 2024. Outstanding service of perhaps any restaurant we have been to in the Bay Area, recently. Well staffed, solicitous, courteous, well informed. Our server, Ricardo was the best. Strongly recommend the restaurant.
Came here for my mom’s birthday and got a reservation ahead of time so getting there and getting seated was so easy!<br><br>Good:<br>- There were a lot of unique dishes - the lobster rocks were super unique. Flakey breading over lobster meat.<br>- The steak was super tasty too! I got medium rare and the polenta was also very tasty<br>- We got a free dessert since it was my mom’s birthday<br>- The chocolate bomb dessert was so unique since they melt it with a warm sugar syrup<br>- The free bread basket was so good! Especially liked the croissant<br><br>Bad:<br>- Very expensive!<br>- Takes a while for food to get to you<br><br>Overall would come again but only for a big celebration
