Overall ok, nice interior design, good food, but several downsides. I imagined this spot to be great for a date night restaurant. The interior design is great, but it’s small/cramped and loud. Overall, it’s more like a fancy bar with good food, but not ideal for a romantic date-night restaurant. Prices are a bit high for a nice bar, and seem to reflect trying to be a nice restaurant. Service was mediocre, again more like a bar; they take your order and bring your food but don’t check in or refill drinks without being flagged down.

For a business dinner the service was atrocious. I was embarrassed I chose the restaurant. Wine bottle value was good. Food was fine, but overshadowed by the service.

The food didn’t taste great. I’ve come to expect higher quality cuisine from comparable SF restaurants

Sub-par. Unfortunately, wasn't very impressed. Service was slllloooowwwww - took a while for the server to take our drink order, and then took a really long time to have our plates cleared and our bill delivered. Wine was good but the cocktails didn't taste good. Apps were alright. Entrees were better but not great. Our server disappeared for about an hour and the runner had to jump in to serve our entrees and clear our table. Paid $30 dollars for the tiniest cheese/charcuterie board. I expected a little more variety of cheese - got a few cubes of blue cheese & provolone. Sliced apple (less than a whole), a few nuts and olives, and very few slices of prosciutto & mortadella. Not what you would expect for a charcuterie board, let's just put it that way. Got the braised duck to share. Flavorful but a bit dry. Our entrees got screwed up so our table wasn't able to eat at the same time. After a very long wait. We were there for almost 3 hours, not by choice. We didn't go on a busy night. Complete opposite experience of when we had a private event in their Speakeasy downstairs.

Awesome place, can’t recommend it enough. I feel like it gets overlooked because it’s in FiDi and that part of town tends to clear out after the workday is over, but eating/drinking there is a real treat and deserves more patrons! The speakeasy is the perfect place to host private parties. Definitely check it out.
