I came here to celebrate Mother’s Day with my husband. It’s a beautiful place indoor and outdoor. Staff are friendly. My husband order a filet mignon. It was delicious. Steak was perfectly cooked the way he wanted. I had a Fettuccine with duck confit, it was my favorite dish. My husband had a “ old fashioned “ it cost $55 which a surprised! Overall food was good. Services were attractive. It’s a great place to have a date night or friends gathering. Little bit in the pricey side. But overall this is Bay Area.

This is definitely our go to restaurant whenever we are celebrating a birthday or anniversary. We love bringing family and friends here. They never disappoint. This time my wife and I selected multiple items to share and indulge in items we had not tried before. We started with their Salmon Caviar on Crostinis and the Lamb Meatballs. Both are to die for. The meatballs were perfectly cooked and had the best flavors. Back on the menu is their Summer in Sorrento Watermelon Salad. Outstanding, I could eat this everyday. For the entrees had to go with the Filet Mignon, Halibut and the Mushroom Risotto. All perfectly cooked and just melts in your mouth. They added some new desserts that unfortunately we were too full we did not get to try this time but may start with dessert next time! We are not big drinkers but their bar menu is a great list of wines and cocktails. They have recently added some amazing mocktails that I have not seen anywhere with tequila that has no alcohol. Amazing. We always cannot wait to return.

Very mediocre but highly overpriced! For three small pieces of scallops added extra to the overcooked pasta, they charge you $29! Avoid this place!

The wait staff, particularly Henrie, was outstanding. Very knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. A little on the spendy side... but will go again.
