                        We ordered all the apps for a group of 8. Service was great from the bar to the tables. Very friendly bartender and waitstaff! Love the convenient parking coming from the East Bay. This is a great meeting spot. Loved the hummus, Brussels and the halloumi. Not a duck fan but the radio it came on was great. Wish Tadig was offered with the kabab. Loved the ice cream with saffron.

                        Favorite client lunch restaurant in the FiDi. Also, it’s nice too when you want a solo lunch, snag a table in the back of restaurant and treat yourself!

                        We were disappointed for the Thanksgiving pre-fixed. It was very expensive at $89 per person. The turkey probably was the better option for dinner but one of the plates had less than 1/2 of potato which felt like no one was really trying to make the dinner special as it must have been thrown on the plate. We were 5 people and gratuity was included which is unfortunate because I would not have given 20%. The appetizers and desert were nothing special either. It is probably an ok place for lunch or dinner ala carte but not a special event.

                        An excellent experience all around. We sat on the patio with the heaters and were comfortable the whole time. The chickpea hummus was excellent, as were the blistered peppers. For man courses, we had the track of lamb and the scallops. It's so nice to have lamb in a restaurant that understands how to prepare lamb. Mine was seared on the outside and juicy rare as I ordered it- absolutely perfect. The scallops were prepared beautifully and tasted great. The staff was attentive without hovering. We'll definitely be back!

                        Good service but odd & not great menu. Food was cold & so was the restaurant. We were seated indoors, heat lamps for outside seating may be a better choice. Nice folks; limited food selections.

                        A great place for the young that is very considerate of older guests. We were tucked in a relatively quiet corner and server gave us extraordinary attention. Everyone we dealt with was extra considerate. And the food was interesting and delicious.
