    My glass of prosecco was not cold. I sent it back. I ordered the skirt steak and it was very cold. Cooked fine but it seems that it had been sitting there for a while. My partner ordered the burger and the fries and was happy with his food.

    Very elevated pub food and well-executed. Ate here before a show at the Golden Gate with plenty of time to enjoy the meal and company. Drinks were excellent.

    We had a great time. Really enjoyed the food, service and overall experience. I had always heard about Scotch Eggs - so we tried them!

    We had a lovely pre-theater dinner and found the menu varied and inspired. We had the Caesar salad, Scotch egg, Ahi Carpaccio, Seared Scallops and twice baked potato -- all delicious. For dessert, we had the Bruleed "Alaska" and Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding. The service was friendly and attentive.

    We had a great meal at Cavalier last night. We started with three very different cocktails and loved them all. I was so happy to see the left side of the menu was mostly vegetables. We ate several. Our entrees were delicious. My meat was undercooked (by any standard) and was promptly replaced with a perfect version. I was a bit taken aback when the waiter said something about letting it rest. (Not my job!) The wine list is small but varied with some unique offerings. The manager provided me with excellent guidance. Service was warm and professional, and we felt cozy in the muralled side room. I'll definitely go back. (I don't give many five star reviews, and it has to be for exceptional food, not just food well executed.)
