4.6 / 5.0(1,657 reviews)

Consistently excellent restaurant with phenomenal service and outstanding food quality. Their fixed-price menu offers great variety - we enjoyed perfectly prepared Lobster Bisque, Sea Scallops, Berkshire Pork Chops, and Pearl Hen Saltimbocca. All dishes were beautifully presented with generous portions. Desserts (Pistachio Crumble Cake and Strawberries & Brown Sugar Arlette) were exceptional. Cocktails were expertly crafted. Professional service throughout. Only minor disappointment: the sourdough with Duck Liver Mousse was too soft and lacked expected crispiness. Perfect for special occasions, date nights, or celebrations. Highly recommend! 25 years on and still going strong! Food at this Michelin 1*, San Francisco icon, operated by a James Beard award chef - Nancy Oakes is as delicious as before. The unrivalled, well seasoned, House Special Berkshire Pork Chop, with its gorgeous crust and ultra juiciness, was and is definitely the star of an attractive and varied menu. Other dishes, especially seafood and fish related, were all executed to near perfection, with welcoming taste profiles. The only downside was the professional service though attentive but felt a bit stiff and pretentious. The atmosphere was spectacular. The food was the highest quality. Dino was an amazing server, he told us everything about the restaurant's history and the owners' journey to build this place. He also knew everything about the building and the interior design. I will now be very loyal to this restaurant.

I chose this restaurant for my birthday. Because of the nice pictured review and recommended by the city's old timers. But my experience was not as expected. Not sure if it us the timing last seating 8pm or because we do not order the Prix-fixe menu but our experience on the food were kind of disappointing After I smell the fishy halibut delivered to the next table while we are ordering, but both of us prefer white meat after a long week, I had a bad feeling. We chose only for the main course and I was right but I am glad our halibut isn't as fishy. Nice presentation and taste. I left the dry chicken bottom part on the plate. Since I heard about the "michelin standard" the restaurant has become. When I could not agree on sharing dessert the waitress also did not even took initiative with a small cake and candle like the usual classic restaurants like Sam at FiDi does (will post this later) But it was overall a nice and professional service, the manager with a card welcome and a great atmosphere as pictured, told on website and what I heard about. We supposed to get the Chef seating for a la carte but our seating has a comfy space by the entrance so it was a nice evening.

Visited to celebrate my anniversary with my wife. The had a seasonal Halloween decorations and menu which were cute. Good for couples and friends for a nice dine out but may not the best option for kids. Great food and atmosphere overall.
