Food was ordinary, not exceptional yet fairly expensive. Rigatoni lacked meat and flavor. Service charge and health benefits charge (25%) automatically applied which is annoying. Not on the list to return with so many good restaurants in SF.

I went there during lunch hour and the place was quiet and empty. It has nice ambience and the service is friendly and helpful. Food is good but slightly pricey. It is a good place for business lunch.

We were there on Friday for lunch. The place was quiet and it has nice ambience and the service was good. The food was excellent--a bit on the pricey side but it was worth it.

Even though we had a reservation for the restaurant we were seated in the bar where it was very noisy and freezing cold. Food was ok but overpriced for the small portions, and bread was very overdone. Brought a nice bottle of wine that we did not open when we learned of the $50 corkage fee. Will not return.

Dinner Review: A Memorable Night of Culinary Excellence and Outstanding Service From the moment we walked in, the evening was exceptional. The service was truly top-tier — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server anticipated our every need without being intrusive, setting the tone for a wonderful night. The food was simply amazing. The ossobucco was melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich with flavor and perfectly executed. The fig and prosciutto dish was a standout — fresh, balanced, and beautifully plated. Every bite was a reminder of how extraordinary simple ingredients can be when treated with care and creativity. There was a slight hiccup when the lamb chop order was mixed up, but the way the staff handled it was beyond impressive. They were sincerely apologetic, and within minutes, they had corrected the issue — not only bringing the right dish but also gifting us a bottle of wine and several extra small plates “on the house.” Their response turned a minor mistake into a highlight of the night and left us feeling genuinely valued as guests. This dinner wasn’t just a meal — it was an experience. Between the outstanding food and the over-the-top service, we left full, happy, and already planning our return.

I eat at this restaurant every time I visit San Francisco, which is at least once a year and most times twice a year. The food is always delicious, the restaurant personnel are friendly and the music is fabulous!

There was only one steak option, so it shouldn’t be listed as a “steakhouse”. It was tender!and flavorful. Service was attentive and friendly. The gnocchi wasn’t anything special, but the fettuccine was delicious and fresh! It was convenient since we are staying in the hotel. We wouldn’t come back based on our meal though.
