    First time here. Checked in with hostess. Hostess told us where the restrooms were and sat us at a table near the window, not on the terrace. Still a good view and ambiance. Server came by and introduced herself, walked us through the menu and started our drinks. We were told food comes from 5 different stations. We got our drinks and ordered some food. Overall, we had a good experience. Not everything was perfect, hence a 4 star. There’s also no way to give a 4.5 star.

    The food, presentation, and service were awesome. We were seated in the courtyard which is more spacious than the inside and more lively. The courtyard is covered so it is nice there even when it is cold outside. The live music was just a tad too loud but otherwise we had great time. We highly recommend the restaurant to both San Francisco visitors and residents.
