The service was efficient and helpful. The food was excellent with the exception of one of our side orders, the creamed spinach. It was watery and not particularly tasty.

We love eating here. It reminds us of old school dining. 2 of us had the Ribeye, 1 had the filet, 1 had the salmon and everyone said all the meals were delicious and cooked perfectly. The service was also incredible. Thanks. We love eating here when we are in SF.
