    I liked this place better last year. The food was still decent but the service was poor. Switched waiters, changed item on the wine list (we no longer offer a Cabernet, try this instead). The cost is high for what this place is. Wines by the glass $20 and up. Single malt Scotch was $30 and up! Told them in the reservation and upon meeting the waiter that we had a birthday. It was never mentioned the entire night. The views are treetop level overlooking Post Street. Very nice. But if you’re going to spend $100+ per person on a glass of wine, a main and dessert in SF, I’d go somewhere else.

    Brought my team for an evening of Jazz, amazing food and one of a kind customer service. Ates our waiter was amazingly good. He took great care of us and the servers brought all out food at the same time. We had a party of six with four Birthdays. The live Jazz was superb. I will definitely be back. The chicken breast stuffed with spinach and other goodies accompanied with gorgonzola gnocchi took top price. Job well done Zingari!

    This was once a terrific restaurant. The service was poor at best. The food was ok but not stunning. The price was too high even for SF.

    The food was pretty good. We ordered Buccatini and they brought us crostini. They were very apologetic and brought out the Buccatini quickly. We assumed that they weren’t going to charge us for the Crostini, but they did and we didn’t feel like haggling over it. They may have taken the charge off. The Buccatini  was very good. The Crostini was too sweet.  the salad was mediocre. Also, it was a little misleading on the website as they showed a four member band playing music, but it was only one guy on the piano with a beatbox.

    We went for the jazz music evening, which cost us $20 each plus dinner. The room is tiny, the volume was ok, the music was nice but I think you could probably enjoy it in another room without paying the extra fee. The food was very expensive -I didn’t think the quality was commensurate to the price. To add chicken to a salad is as $24. Our salmon was on the dry side. The service was good and staff friendly.

    Our server, Ates, made the visit excellent. He loaned my wife his reading glasses. He joked with us and dealt perfectly with a couple of issues in the kitchen. All-in-all a very enjoyable meal. Oh yes ... the food was wonderful.
