    We flew into San Francisco during the atmospheric river for a 70th birthday celebration. The weather was disappointing but our waiter was over the top great. He was friendly, informative and made the night special. The whole staff made us feel welcome and the food was outstanding. We even received a special birthday treat! Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Went there for a soft opening when it first opened to work the kitchen and training the staff, and it is just as great today as it was in 2008! Couldn’t finish the giant octopus so I ate the leftovers for breakfast and it tasted just as good. Amazing go to restaurant where there is something for everyone! And a stunning waterfront restaurant as well. Cheers and enjoy ~

    This was my second time at Mona Lisa Mare e Monti. It was just as good as before. The ambiance is terrific, food delicious and servers friendly and engaging. A great experience all around. The only challenge is parking in the neighborhood. I'd suggest public transit or a cab to save some stress. Either way, it's totally worth it! I look forward to the next time!

    We used Harborview for our business meeting reception both this year and the last and it has worked out splendidly. Roped-off space by the bar with high tables works well for 20 people (could be expanded into adjacent area), with a wonderful appetizer spread. Highly recommend!

    Anthony was superb. Food was delicious. Louise’s birthday dinner was memorable. Only quibble was the volume of the singer in the lounge/ bar area.
