    Nice place and a way to enjoy Boudin without the hustle and bustle. Had a nice bottle of wine with a decent view and calmed us down from all the go go go.

    The food was okay. Salad tasted like a salad kit from the store, soup was limited in the bread bowl, and the steak I ordered was not cooked the way I ordered. Our waiter was at many times no where to be found. I was a bit shocked that the restaurant allowed a patron to bring in their pet and have the pet be in the aisle, on the chair, and have food on the floor. They did go out of their way to bring my sister a birthday dessert. The view from our window was very lovely but we will not be returning next time we are in town.

    Our party of6 was seatd promptly in the very back room with great views of the Bay and Alcatraz. The guests in this area had our own waitress and bus person who were great. We ordered a variety of seafood selections and all were delivered at the same time, hot and delicious. The two kids in our party ordered from the children’s menu and had excellent pizzas that were surprisingly large. And the bottomless sourdough breadbasket was outstanding! Wonderful time for sure!
