We felt like the whole staff was waiting only on us. This was one of the most amazing dining experiences I have ever had. We ordered the chefs choice six course meal with matching wines and they did not disappoint. The unique flavors and presentations left us feeling like royalty. The staff was extremely knowledeable about their food and drink... More

This bar has a serious cocktail list and the mixologists are just as comfortable going off list. Good bar food and having had a desert from the main menu it was outstanding. Nice ambiance overall an excellent experience. On this occasion I was only dining light but on this performace would definitely come back for the full menu

Our food was outstanding as was the service. Stephanie, the assistant manager, and I were from the same home town and she really made our evening there special. We had several courses, all of them were delicious. The lamb was one of the best lamb dishes I've ever had. Very rich but sooo good!

The menu has quite a few interesting options. Everything we tried had very interesting, unique flavors. It was definitely an enjoyable meal. I had the steak, which I really liked. My wife had the duck, which she really liked, but I didn't care for quite as much.

It's a hidden gem south of Market on 4th street. Buried in the Polimar Hotel. Valet Parking helps... Though this time we took Uber. We we seated promptly with drink orders on their way immediately. A good sign for a 7:30 reservation on a Saturday night. Service was excellent as was the food. Of particular note was Amy the wine... More

We had the tasting menu last weekend and the food was pretty good. The portion was really small though, and the service was a bit slow. The highlight was the dessert. The plating was beautiful and the flavor was complex. We were celebrating a friend's birthday who happened to be Chinese, and the pastry chef wrote "Happy Birthday" on his... More

We went to the bar one night of our stay and found the bar tender to be very slow and unattentive and not very knowledgeable about alcoholic beverages (we asked about some beers and whiskey's and she was not helpful). She was nothing like the rest of the staff at this hotel - the hotel staff was exceptional!

We went there twice last summer because the duck confit was to die for the first time. The second time didn't disappoint, just as excellent! Oysters 4 ways is delicious and the grilled baby octapus was simply heavenly! Great cocktails and inviting atmosphere as well.

This was an Open Table selection by my friends who reside in San Francisco. It is not a touristy place with loud diners, but a dimly lit elegant food place in a hotel. We loved it! We had wine pairings with each course and both the sommelier and waiter were excellent, with great recommendations and knowledge of the food. Ingredients... More
