"Food was excellent. Service was fast and friendly. We had our kids with us and everyone was able to order something they liked. The fries were especially popular."

"About 25 minutes to be seated with a reservation(quoted wait time for no reservations was 30 minutes), another 20 or so to order drinks...etc. It followed the pattern including forgotten drink orders. All in all, probably wouldn't return but it could be an entertaining place to go for a drink at the rather lively bar."

"We went on Easter Sunday and it was a zoo. We had reservations but still waited about 10 minutes to be sat. Service took forever and given all the brunch options in SF, the food was just not that good at all. Fun to be in the middle of the action but not really worth it."

"First time here and we liked the decor and the music, though it was a tad loud. The blueberry lemonade was not overly sweet and very good. I ordered the Miso Wild Ahi Tuna Salad with NO cucumbers. The salad was good (not great) but it had tons of cucumbers! Yuck. I dug them out and gave them to my friend. She ordered the flatbread pizza sans sausage and pepperoni and she enjoyed it. We shared the sweet potato fries which were nicely crunchy and the dips were yummy. Our server didn't come back to check on us and we didn't see her again until she brought the check. In addition, the restaurant cancelled our OT res even though we were on time & checked in, so I called them back but they didn't remedy it; had to resolve with OT to get my points!"

"Love this spot in Cow Hollow! We were a party of four and our food was great. From ahi salad to the filet mignon, the food was excellent. It was very busy and loud on a Saturday night, but I think it adds to the appeal."

"The food was only so-so. I ordered a braised beef hash for brunch while my friend had one of the benedicts. She also thought it was too salty. The hash was a bit spicy and it took us a while to get our waiter to bring more water. As we were outside, I had to resort to asking another waiter to go get him. This might not have been so bad had it not been for the near 45 minute wait for our meal in the first place. The restaurant wasn't very full when we arrived so we should have gotten our food quickly. The waiter said that there was a 40-person party ahead of us but I another group of 3 got their food before us. Shouldn't a restaurant this big be able to handle a 40-person party without grinding everyone else's orders to a halt?"

"The brunch menu initially drew us to the restaurant and it did not deliver. I ordered the raisin french toast and the bread was beyond dry, bordering stale. Everyone else had a so-so review of their meals. It's a beautiful restaurant with good service. The music was unbalanced and too loud for a morning brunch. We asked them to turn it down a notch, which they did, and three songs later it was Friday night, peak bar time loud again."
