Mike NadelmanMarch 26, 2012Great location but they blew it on the service and the "Prime Rib" special was like 2 pancakes! Plus they forgot our onions. Mgr apologized and offered free stuff. Too bad
SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012The crowd is eclectic, the cocktails are traditional and there's decent grub to boot here.
Carnivores - don't dismiss the eggplant Parmesan. It's amazing!!
Make sure you say hello to Vince Perez at the bar. He always holding court.
Geoff TrimpolSeptember 23, 2012The lounge is noisy, but sitting by the fireplace is romantic. Eggplant Parmagiana rocks. Wifi sucks, I used Google Free Wifi instead...
Always mention you know Tal. Servers will either kiss you or spill soup in your lap.
Order a greyhound...pulpy fresh grapefruit juice with kettle one
Liza PJanuary 3, 2017I don't understand why people love this place. Had calamari and a few other small plates - all quite mediocre.
AdrianJuly 5, 2016Service was poor. They not only brought wrong food, but also decided to put both expected and wrong order on the bill and had to be corrected again. Scam.

"Stray away from the food. The confused menu is probably a logistical nightmare to manage for them and theyre horrendous. The cocktails are bomb however - especially "it's the best""
Srikanth Raju - 7.4
"Bacon wrapped dates were tasty. The tartar was extremely heavy on the onions, the steak’s chimi churri was heavy on the onions as well. Great cocktails."
Sarah Liz - 9.2
"The 2nd and more spacious location of delicious chicken sandwiches, rice bowls, yummy sauces and umami fries"
