Very enjoyable and very fresh ingredients - we ended up sharing a number of appetizer plates and salads - all were delicious. Service was excellent and we had a table looking out at the Bay and could watch the sea lions playing in the water right outside the window. A lovely lunch!

I went there during lunch hour and the place was quiet and empty. It has nice ambience and the service is friendly and helpful. Food is good but slightly pricey. It is a good place for business lunch.
