    The oysters on the half shell and beef stew were great. However, my fillet was ordered medium and it came almost rare. It also was very tough. Did not seem to be a fillet. When we had coffee, the cream was bad. They didn’t have any more so they brought us some streamed milk - not the same.

    Great service. Beautiful view of the bay. Parties of 7+ sit on the Jefferson St side long tables or counter height. Corkage fee is $30 so we just bought a bottle. Kids love the bread and pastas. Crab, surf & turf our usual. Our favorite restaurant. Especially when our Costco sells gift cards.

    A reliable, great restaurant to eat. The only issue this time was a cold top on the bread bowl, but overall this was minor since it still tasted great. Service and food was otherwise fantastic.

    We ate here on a previous visit to San Francisco and so were looking forward to dining here again but were disappointed. The ambience wasn't as good and we felt overdressed compared to other guests who were dining in much more casual attire even though this was an evening booking. Service from our waiter was polite although other staff that brought meals to our table ignored our request for more cutlery and we had to help ourselves from an empty table next to us. Food was excellent though and portion size was good. Not sure if we would visit a third time though.

    Guter Service, Essen wirklich lecker. Das Brot ist genial! Insbesondere die Suppe im ausgehöhlten Brotlaib ist empfehlenswert.
