    I absolutely love this restaurant! I have been a customer for quite a few years and it's always fantastic. Delicious food and excellent service in a cozy ambiance....that feels like you have been transported to Europe. The special duck breast in a scrumptious chestnut/raspberry sauce was so good. I can't recommend the pate board enough so so good .

    New favorite spot in San Francisco, you step away and feel like you are eating in someone's living room in France.
