    The food was bland and the fried food was saturated with grease. I was sick all evening.

    Absolutely lovely dining experience even during the Dreamforce Conference. We were promptly seated. Food was delivered quickly. Wait staff was impeccable. From appetizer to main course, to dessert, the whole dinner was perfect. Thank you Julio for taking such great care of us!

    Food was grotesquely overpriced for the quality. Most of it was overly greasy with oil dripping from it, except the vegetables which had no flavoring. The dip was old. The waiter hovered over me to see what tip I am leaving at the end. I will never go back.
