Simply one of the nicest restaurants in San Francisco. One of the few places left where you can get dressed up and enjoy a quiet meal in a great atmosphere with impeccable service.

We had a guy next to us who spoke at volume 10 the whole night. I heard about his recent IPO and a lot of other stuff I would have preferred to skip. Otherwise it was great.
