    We had a delightful lunch at Dillon before going to a show at the Orpheum. The food was imaginative and delicious and the entire staff could not have been more welcoming!

    The service we've had here the last three times we've had brunch here has gone downhill. This is mostly due to our server who seems preoccupied and responds in one word answers, that are neither helpful nor polite. You're paying about $50/person for meal/beverage and I really expect that the service be gracious and welcoming. The food seems to be lacking too over the last few times. This last time there was bacon as part of the Proper Breakfast menu item and it was just pure grease. We think that they deep fried it and could not eat it. It is convenient as we were seeing a matinee at the Orpheum and the space is beautiful and soothing, but our server and meal was not up to par. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.

    It took a really long time to get coffee and our drinks and none of the servers would help our table. They wouldn’t even pour our coffee that was sitting on the bar. Our waitress was nice and comp’d our drinks but I felt the management should train staff to have more of a team approach to serving guests.

    My husband’s food was overcooked, greasy and burned. The food pictures from their website are pretty but reality is a different story. Very poor service and limited flexibility in terms of everything. We’ll NOT repeat the experience again!

    Excellent meal and ambiance, always a consistent experience eating here. We were really surprised to learn that Villon had stopped dinner service as this is my husbands favorite restaurant for dinner before the shows at Orpheum and Golden Gate theatres, for the delicious innovative dishes. We went for breakfast on a Saturday and as usual the service, food and ambiance were excellent. Would highly recommend, the price point is worth it. We were pleased to learn that the restaurant is working on reopening dinner service - we will be back for dinner when they do.
