   Beautiful setting on the Bay with spacious tables and comfortable padded chairs. Our waitress was delightful and the food excellent for a very reasonable price. We sat at our table for over 2 hours and were never rushed. Our favorite place to dine!

   We had an amazing meal. Our server, Sean, was very attentive to our needs. We are from the Brunch buffet, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The view is amazing. A great end to a visit.

   My guest and I were greeted very warmly by the hostess. We sat at a window seat and thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent views of the Bay, San Francisco, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge as many sail and fishing boats graced the Bay. Lunch was delicious and the service was exceptional.

    If you like places like McCormick's or Stinking Rose in SF, this is your jam. If you prefer Bix, A16, or Spruce, have a drink at the bar, enjoy the stunning view, and leave. Food is a quick trip to the 80s when we emerged from casseroles and rumaki and discovered The Silver Palate: big seafood towers, wedge salads with bacon, and hot bread (homemade foccaccia) slathered with herb butter, that's a nice gesture, but nothing like the stuff you can get up the street, say, at Via del Corso (or Semifreddi). It's a "special occassion" place for the high school prom crowd, middle management birthday parties, and people celebrating a 60th anniversary. Nice staff, AMAZing views.
