Thank you, Brian! You went above and beyond to show us kindness and grace, and made our experience amazing! Our team of 10 walked in before close and Brian was not only kind enough to accommodate us, but never rushed, was engaging, and went out of his way to be a gracious and welcoming host to us all. The food was great and the service was out of this world. Thank you for a wonderful experience all around, and accommodating our team so last minute.

Pricey bite with ambience just outside of Montgomery BART station. Good for a nice dinner with new coworkers or catch up with old friends. We ordered the mushroom pasta and ahi tartare with surprised me in a good way. Love their cocktails!!

Great place for a fancy-ish dinner. they have beautiful high ceilings and fine dining feel. The decor is beautiful and the service was on point too. The food was mid's I believe the food was good but just nothing spectacular. It was fast to come out the kitchen and tasted nice but just nothing to really wow my taste buds. The croquettes were memorable.

Reservations made by phone for lunch on a Monday about a week in advance. I got text updates, and it was $25 per person cancellation fee if we cancelled less than 24 hours in advance. This is a nice spot, definitely the type for business lunches, a bit dark and serious in its decor, medium noise level, plenty of space downstairs and upstairs. The service was professional and efficient. Our group of 5 was in and out in an hour. * Wild Mushroom Pasta - 4.5 stars I usually only like red sauce pasta, and I usually don't like mushrooms. But the images for this one actually looked rather tasty with the fancy mushrooms and the egg, and I didn't regret my decision. This was perfectly flavored and nicely balanced; just a tad on the oily side.

This pasta was tasty! I added chicken for it to be extra filling which was perfect, I was pretty hungry :) It was a little oilier at the bottom so it was hard to eat but otherwise it has a good cheese flavor which was very delicious! There's quite a lot of searing especially for big parties, there's a bar downstairs I believe. Our waiter was super kind and attentive to our needs.

I only uploaded one of the croquttas picture, but really after that set we ordered another lol The overall look of this place is really cool and they have an upstairs they open up once in awhile I think our second favorite is the chicken, whatever rub they used was great! Overall the service was really good and were def coming back!

TLDR: Came for a group dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the food, ambiance, and service! Of all the things we tried, I'd recommend the roasted chicken and lava cake the most. ------ FOOD: 1. Roasted Chicken (5/5): Not dry at all, really flavorful, loved the tomato based sauce it came with. 2. Lava Cake (5/5): A delicious dessert that really hits the spot. Your classic chocolate lava cake with a fruit sauce / drizzle on top paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top 3. Rustic Meatballs (4.5/5): A great meatball dish, though ever so slightly denser than I would prefer 4. Caesar Salad (4.5/5): Honestly was really surprised by how much I liked this Caesar. I thought the dressing was great and flavorful. 5. Crab Arancini (4/5): I had super high hopes for this but I think the inside is a little dry -- could use some more sauce or melty cheese 6. Burrata Toast (4/5): A dessert-y appetizer thanks to the sweetness of the honey drizzle on top. Would have been great if the toast was a little crispier very the soft sourdough, but the overall flavor was unique and folks liked it 7. Brussels Sprouts (4/5): Solid, standard sprouts, nothing special 8. Mushroom Gnocchi (3.5/5): The truffle oil was good and I like the concept of the mushroom pasta, but the gnocchi itself was too soft and didn't have a chew factor. Tasted more like balls of mashed potatoes? If the gnocchi had more of a bite, this would have been a great dish! 9. Halibut (3.5/5): A little dry 10. Semifreddo (2.5/5): Not what I expected based on the description and unfortunately not really for me 11. Tiramisu (1/5): Didn't taste like tiramisu at all, and honestly the mascarpone cream tasted sour like it had gone bad. Hopefully the desserts they gave us were one-off and this dessert doesn't usually taste like this... ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Despite the unassuming exterior, the inside of this restaurant is cute! It gives me New York vibes honestly, and the upstairs dining area had lots of space and overlooked the rest of the restaurant downstairs * There were lots of people there who looked like they had just gotten off of work together and grabbing dinner / drinks -- this has a great vibe and location for that ------ SERVICE: * What you'd expect and perfectly good!

Came here for a work dinner and got some drinks and plates to share! Cocktails were good and we ordered the tuna tartare, margherita flatbread, and crab arancini to share. All delicious but the arancini was my favorite!! I got the gnocchi ragú as my main even though I'm not a big fan of lamb and LOVED it!! So yummy and glad I tried it even though I haven't always loved lamb dishes! Small dark and moody restaurant with some cool decor elements. Seating is pretty limited but location is great if you're looking to pop in for a quick bite and drinks after business in FiDi!
