I don't think I've ever received such great service from a restaurant in my 45 years of life. Everyone was so accommodating. The food was amazing. Portions are not oversized, so we didn't walk out stuffed and feeling weighed down. Fantastic drinks. Lovely ambiance (lights not too bright). Expensive but worth every penny.

We were running a little late (party of 2) and the restaurant was wonderfully flexible. Our complicated cocktail took a bit longer than expected and they were comped! The service was fantastic, the people super friendly, the food was amazing and the vibe was perfect for the holidays. Can’t wait to return!

We loved the lamb ribs and the mushroom gnocchi. My server was excellent and her barbera suggestion was perfect for my beef tartare. This was my first time there in a few years and I’m so glad I made it back. The space is beautiful and location is perfect for me coming from the east bay because it’s so close to BART. I won’t be waiting so long to return this time

LOVE the ambiance, food and service! Lamb chops were amazing, as was the creamed spinach. Killer mezcal margaritas!! Glad we dined early, as noise level gets a bit intense, requiring need to talk at high volumes to be heard over the din.

Thought this place was great. Good service, flexible with our large group, appropriate sized portions. Not cheap but not over priced, great for a celebratory birthday dinner.

Had a wonderful dinner last night. Even though the holiday parties were filling the restaurant, the service was great and the staff was on top of everything. Everyone is friendly and the food does not disappoint.
