    RE: lunch. Portions were generous. Service staff was polite and attentive. Food was nicely seasoned but not "over-dressed" or dull (which can be the case, for example, in salads that are included.) Fries were to die for! very thinly cut, so the crispiness, not mushy inside, prevailed. And they were obviously fresh from the pan. I will definitely be introducing friends to this restaurant and hope they have success on Castro Street, where many establishments don't seem to be making it.
