    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.

    The quiet night on the taxes day. I think they only have one server so the service is a little slow. The food was great. The service charge is included 20% even it only for 3 people.

    Our group of 4 had small plates in the bar while listening to piano jazz. We had excellent service and enjoyed conversation with our waiter who was very personable. The tapas dishes were very interesting. Our favorite was crispy polenta with shrimp in a delightful sauce. Desserts were full of rich chocolate and tiramisu original. If you are staying in the area if union square, we recommend this restaurant.

    We totally enjoyed our food from the appetizer to the main to the dessert - all were delicious and top shelf. Jazz music was provided by Jerome on the piano and Bill on the base. They both sang as well! It was a super nice evening. We enjoyed every little bit. We're looking forward to returning.
