Everything on the menu is excellent, but especially the quality cocktails and meats. Don't miss the BBQ Pork Belly, Meatballs & Grits, Short Rib, or Diver Scallops and read on at WinstonWanders below! Read more
Fabulous in every sense of the word and a much-needed establishment on Castro. Chic. Modern. 100% American cuisine. Food is locally sourced as well as much of the alcohol! No Grey Goose here kids. =)
Elynn LeeJuly 17, 2016Love the Brussels sprouts with maple vinaigrette and bacon! The mac and cheese is also very yummy and cheesy. Easy to make reservations, great for groups or dates.
Take the bar seat and watch amazing food being prepared right in front of you. Ceviche, Chicken&Chilies flat bread, Short Rib are a must!
Joe FontanaJanuary 23, 2016Nice job on the crab cakes!! The truffle flatbread is nice and smooth and the palate and they have a very creative wine selection
Pork belly. The very definition of. The standard by which all others should be judged.
babs velosoAugust 17, 2012a lot of seafood :( but the meat loaf is incredible and less obvious than the ny steak! mac & cheese side and bacon wrapped chorizos are also super yummi.
Michael TchouMarch 22, 2014Great brunch spot with excellent bloody mary's. Recommend the pecan banana bacon waffles if they are on the menu
Hedan ZengAugust 12, 2014Pork belly appetizer is tasty, although you pay more for the atmosphere here than you do the food
Catherine CohenSeptember 4, 2014Great ahi tuna. Their BBQ sauce is homemade and amazing. Onion rings are to die for.
Wayne FlowersNovember 19, 2013Got our car broken into last night while having dinner at 8pm at the public parking lot behind the restaurant. Dinner was good, but heard that it was the 3rd car burglary in the past couple of weeks.
Hungrylee HuangJuly 7, 2013The pepperoni mozzarella pork belly flatbread is aaaahmazing! Love that they have their own brick oven.
- Lee SimpsonMarch 9, 2015Happy hour cocktails and oysters. Good vibes here but the bar is a little small.
Sean PatersonDecember 14, 2012They recently updated their menu with some new twists on current dishes. The seared Tuna is a good choice.
Danielle MortonApril 13, 2014Their House Ceviche is delicious. It comes with fried plantain chips that are GF safe!
Bacon wrapped dates were good. Fried chicken with cornbread pudding was also a good pick.
Good place to have a drink and enjoy a casual and quite meal.
Mitchell WeinstockNovember 1, 2013The beef raviolis were good, nice sauce and toppings. The music was another matter entirely.
Cole ArmstrongOctober 25, 2012I like the music. Takes you back..... Also great bar, expensive, but great selection.
William GunnSeptember 29, 2015Well designed food, not always well executed. Has the "management company" feeling about it, as if it were being operated via remote control from an office somewhere.
James HApril 14, 2011Try the Butternut Squash/Pancetta/Blue Cheese Pizza for a nice change of pace. Sweetness of the squash makes the dish.
Try the Stoke Cabernet - you can only get it here and it's amazing!!!
Jennifer EvansOctober 12, 2015Decent restaurant but food was sometimes unimpressive. Pork belly was okay and I've had better bacon wrapped dates before. I did like creme Brule and roasted artichokes.
- For a healthy option, order the simple fish with lobster tarragon
- William GunnJanuary 15, 2016Cocktails are interesting in design, but they don't staff the place with people who can execute.
Sarah Sled LentApril 21, 2011Good happy hour! Beer, wine by the glass and apps are half off! 4-6 Mon-Fri
Andrew FisherAugust 6, 2014Honestly... okay wine selection and food is what you expect... glorified protein on a plate.
I don't always eat macaroni and cheese, but when I do, I prefer Scratch.

"The theater update is pretty dang swanky. Big cushy seats all through the place! Which recline to your heart's content! And assigned-seat reservations to boot! It's a lovely moviegoing experience now."
