From the OpenTable editors: From the bright, two-story space to the shareable California-inspired plates, this MICHELIN-Starred spot from James Beard Award winners Nicole Krasinski and Stuart Brioza lives up to its motto: the greatest dinner party ever.

    Very creative cocktails and dishes. The wait staff were very helpful and gave us guidelines on ordering. Since the portion sizes were small, suggested about 2 plates per person. There were 4 of us, so we ordered 8 dishes, including the bread. We were very full at the end of it; perhaps 6 dishes would have been enough as we are small eaters. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. The bread is especially useful in scoping up the sauces which were amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Honestly I think this is the best restaurant in SF currently. I’ve been here quite a few times now and every time the food and flavor is exceptional. I love the playfulness in the ingredients and how chef combines the unexpected into a magical experience. Highly recommend!

    Our table was very very close to the table next to us so we didn’t feel like we could have a private conversation. Artichoke dish was underwhelming
