    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.

    We did the Valentine’s Day tasting menu. It came out about $550 for two people with the wine pairing. The staff were wonderful and the space is cute, but that’s about where the positives end. The food was extremely basic, something you would almost expect to find in a diner. It was clearly pre-made several hours in advance, and some of the seafood had a little leathery crust on top, like they’d been sitting out or in the fridge for a while. Unacceptable for the price point. The bouillabaisse was basically just seafood sitting on a plate colored with a tiny bit of broth, but there wasn’t enough to use a spoon. The starter salad was a lettuce heart cut in quarters with some mayo-based thick dressing. The wine pairing included 2 to 3 ounce pours, which, for the extra $65 charge, was woefully inadequate. We really wanted to like this place, but we are never coming back for dinner!
