Excellent food and wine selection. Great place for an intimate evening.

The most incredible meal we have had in a long time. The owner and chef provides a personalized service, every dish is explained in detail and you can hear the passion behind every ingredient. The pairing wines were exceptional and again with detailed explanations of region, varietal and reason for pairing. I would highly recommend this place. It has a set menu of 7 dishes and each one is perfect and delicious. Our booking was through text message vs automated/online but this place is well worth the extra steps - and the menu price for its quality is actually really cheap at 70 dollars!!

I honestly don't know how this place isn't Michelin reviewed, it is by far the best meal I've had in NYC. The ambiance is personal and romantic. Great for anniversaries or birthdays. The service is impeccable with the owner John being extremely friendly and helpful. The prie fix meal is an amazing deal and every tasting course was more delicious then the next. Wine menu has some reasonably priced options. Everything is made in house including the fresh bread. I recommend this hidden gem to everyone I know- it's truly an experience.

On Wednesday, I was walking by and saw "$15 Burger and Fries" in the corner of my eye. Everything's reasonably priced looking at the menus. I saw some people doing prep. It looks like the burger window is also where the kitchen is. I ordered it and didn't have to wait long for it. The service was good considering I interrupted them while they were prepping. They joked and were friendly. There were some chairs and two tables so I just sat down. I brought the to-go box home and opened it to find some lukewarm fries and a burger. The fries were a little soggy but I blame that on being in a box. The fries were also a bit bland but the sensational sauces included helped a lot. The burger wasn't the best burger I've had, but it was still decent considering that it had been getting soggy in a box for fifteen minutes. The patty was juicy and there were thick slices of tomato laid on some vibrant lettuce. The bun wasn't very soft however. Also, the cheese had solidified by the time I got home but overall, it was still a decent burger. Review readers, it's not a burger restaurant so don't expect a mind-blowing burger. There was a little sign advertising a prime rib sandwich and fries for the same price ($15) and prime rib seems to be something they make a lot, looking at the menu. I will probably return again in the future to try the other foods this place has to offer and dine in.

Definitely 5 stars. We came to this place to celebrate my birthday. We made reservation one month earlier. Got a text message in the afternoon to confirm the reservation. The dinner started from salad and bread. They are not in the tasting menu, but included. They were paired with sparkling wine. Next one is the soup. It was paired with white wine. I liked the puff pastry very much. Then the fish cake came with another white wine. This is the best dish of the whole dinner. The scallop is tender and fish cake itself is delicious. Duck dumpling and tender breast is paired with red wine. The dumpling was crispy and breast was tender. Main dish was roasted pork. It was a big pork with mushrooms and green beans. Mushrooms were so delicious. I personally didn’t really like the pork itself since I am the lamb lover. Of course it was paired with another red wine. Dessert was coffee ice cream paired with dessert wine. Since it is my birthday, I also got a special treat: a piece of cheesecake. Thanks chef John for the kindness. I am the cheesecake lover and really like it. Overall experience is super. We got a very private table and excellent service from Jeffrey. It was a very special birthday dinner!

Hidden gem. The place is awesome. I can't wait to go back. The chef stopped by after each course to check in. The staff was exceptionally prompt. Food was unique and excellent. Menu is always changing and I have only been once so keep that in mind. Wine selection is limited but the prices are reasonable ( I believe these are related). They had a few of my favorite (mid tier) wines, so I couldn't ask for more.

This was my first fine dining experience where you have a set menu. I was skeptical at first weather or not I would enjoy it but I could not have been more wrong. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary. We are not wealthy, and I've always been hesitant about going to fine dining restaurants in part because its not fun to be in a place and feel as if everyone around you is rich and you are the odd one out who can't distinguish between the various silverware. This was not the case here at all. The setting is private and intimate, so you are not packed in like sardines forced to engage in unwanted conversations with other guests. The chef serves his own food and he was very warm and welcoming and informative but casual. The fixed menu was great. The lamb dish was brilliant, and everything else was fantastic as well. He even threw in some excellent homemade bread which wasn't even part of the menu. I was also surprised that I left feeling full, I'm a bigger guy and can definitely go back for seconds but I left feeling satisfied. No forced themes or ambient music or pretentious minimalist modern artwork on the walls to make you feel insignificant. It truly seems the chef just does what he feels is best and does what he likes. I admire that and it's wonderful to see someone excel with such grace in their craft. Highly recommend.

This restaurant is a real treasure! My friend and I felt pampered from the moment we arrived. We ordered the tasting plate and wine pairing. The wines were divine and the food was out of this world. We were expecting a nice experience but ended up blown away by an experience at an elevated level. Thank you John!

Love it here. Always feel so welcomed. Get. The. Wine. Pairing. The food is amazing , but the wine pairing makes this place a top 3 SF. It's a full course meal. No rush. Just eat, enjoy, and enjoy some more. So sad we moved and can't enjoy it more often. But planning more SF trips in the future so we can enjoy more. Cheers! 🍷 🥂 🍾

We bought this restaurant out one night for a family get-together! The intimate restaurant was a perfect fit for our 36 person party. The Chef, John, was very accommodating and helped us pre-plan a menu for the night. All the dishes were fantastic but these are the ones you MUST GET: Crab Cake: 5/5 Crispy exterior and moist meaty interior. It was perfect! Red Wine Braised Short Rib w/ Maine Diver Scallop: 5/5 [Best Dish] Scallop was perfectly seared and not overcooked. Short Rib melts in your mouth and explodes with flavor. The creamy polenta was decent but I would rather have creamy mashed potatoes.

This is a real find! We wanted to catch up with old friends and it was like having a gourmet dinner in our own home. Quiet, atmospheric, incredible food, attentive and warm waitstaff (the chef even came out to talk with us several times) and very reasonable prices considering the quality. The five tables are separated by heavy curtains making it ideal for Covid dining out and well as privacy and noise. Absolutely our new favorite restaurant in SF. We made another reservation before we left.

The experience is what makes this restaurant 5 stars. There are less than 10 tables, which provides a very intimate experience. Everyone must do a tasting menu as there are NO a la carte options. However, the 3 course tasting menu is less that $40 a person, which is likely the best price you’ll get in the city. There is also a wine tasting that you can add on. All of the meat and fish dishes were cooked perfectly. Would highly recommend the duck entree, the chicken entree, and the apple crisp for dessert.

This is the best service I've ever had from any non 3 star Michelin spot. I will 100% be back. Might be my new favorite restaurant in all of SF. The food was amazing, intimate setting, and service was incredible. The best hidden gem

I loooove this hidden gem! I can’t believe I’ve never heard of or been to this restaurant till now. I think it’s run by a couple and I love the personal touches. The chef is amazing - he takes your order, pours and explains the wine, and comes out to explain each course. You can choose between 3 or 5 course and a wine pairing with your meal. We did the 5 course with the wine pairing. The food was delicious and each course was nicely spaced. The wine was sooo good, and the pours were incredibly generous. We also added the corn bread pudding which was on the 3 course menu as an a la cart and that was one of my favorite dishes. The foie gras was also perfectly balanced and excellent. Definitely come here for a special, personal experience.

Wow, what an experience. Chef came by several times throughout our 5 course meal. Super intimate setting where they only turn over the table once a night. Tables are spaced out with privacy curtains, making you feel like you're the only ones in the restaurant. If you're looking for a romantic date night with delicious food, this place is it. Will definitely be back.

We had the most amazing, cozy and intimate dinner for seven last night. It was everyone's first time there and we were all very impressed. John and team were very warm and welcoming. The pre-fixe dinner was delicious, and for almost every course, there wasn't a speck left on each plate. The wine list is impressive and John was very helpful in helping us choose a few bottles. So excited we tried the place and everyone was talking about going back soon. Also I need to mention that the price point is insanely good for San Francisco. Go enjoy, there is no way you will be disappointed.

Loved the intimate prix fix dinner and wine pairing! Dinner was lovely! Really delicious and filling. The wine pairings were generous and complemented the plates (as well as being delicious on their own!). The ambiance was super intimate. We loved it and can’t wait to come back!

Excellent hospitality, worth for the price and good quality of food. 5 courses tasting menu $70 per person, can’t complain. Our family love this place!! ❤️🎄
