it was an okay spot. i wouldn’t return. location was not the best, the DJ seemed to have a flat and uninterested affect. seemed like the audio was also a playlist instead of vinyl but not sure. we ordered mostly raw/cold dishes and it still quite a bit to come out despite not having any many other guests. there was probs only 3-4 tables who were already eating when we arrived. after this place, we left to eat at our fav sushi spot. expensive n not worth the experience but has lot of potential as a unique space in sf

the food is well-conceived for the most part but unfortunately, there were some issues with seasoning. some dishes needed salt while another more than made up for it. the presentation was very good, as was the quality of ingredients. was a bit disappointed that the music was sort of an afterthought given the branding as a hi-fi bar. service was attentive but pacing was off -- I think it wasn't the server's fault so much as the restaurant needing 1-2 more servers. the manager heard my complaints and was receptive, which I appreciated. I just think at this price level (I had 5-6 small dishes and 2 drinks and ended up paying around $200) you have to nail every piece of the experience.

The staff is welcoming, attentive, and helpful. Drinks were charming, menu wasn't over the top. Food was amazing. You can get light and heavy but lots of flavor and fun. There isn't a great spot by our office and this is a date night spot along with being a great spot to go for work related meetings. I'm sold. I miss Salt House but am not complaining but really loving this spot.
