Best Restaurants for Groups in Cole Valley

Food is so good!!! We shared the beet salad, a margherita pizza, the butternut squash raviolis and the gnocchi. I am bot generally a fan of gnocchi but these were pure heaven! Okenty of ootions for our vegetarian party of 4. Drinks and dessert werre a smash hit too!

Fun menu with emphasis on plates to share, creative use of seasonal ingredients and the pita bread is to die for. The Breaking Bread appetizer sampler is a must order. Lamb chops were divine. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive, but not overly so--made for a delicious, relaxing weekday lunch with girlfriends.

We had an amazing meal at this Argentinian steakhouse! The pork chop was juicy and full of flavor, and the Pulpo was cooked perfectly. We usually stick to cocktails, which are always great, but this time we tried the wine our waiter recommended, and it was excellent. For dessert, we had the churros and alfajores—both were delicious! The churros were warm and crispy, and the alfajores were sweet and creamy. This is one of our favorite places to eat. The food, drinks, and service are always fantastic. Highly recommend!

First-time visit to China Live, and we were not disappointed! Attentive, helpful service (Raffi was super-helpful with navigating the menu), lots of choices, and quick service. We got the XLB, sea bass, and crispy noodles with chicken, and really, I can't think of a single negative thing to say about any of them. Dessert was the wonderful mandarin brownie with lychee ice cream. All in all, a wonderful meal and a great time out for my bride and I.

This is a great restaurant, food, service, and atmosphere make it feel both special and comfortable.
