Such a fun location with great staff and food was good as well! Not sure the price point matches. The food is slightly priced over and the drinks were priced very high for what they were. I get we’re in the Bay Area so it’s not easy.

This place is a hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of FiDi and North Beach. Although the cost is a bit of a splurge, it's worth it for a special occasion, date night, family celebration or just dinner with friends. Happy hour is well priced, with delicious cocktails and bites, and chocolate cake on the dessert menu is beyond anything you have ever tasted. I have eaten both in the upstairs (Restaurant Week) and downstairs (Happy Hour) areas, and both have a great ambiance. The downstairs has a lounge/speakeasy vibe that would be perfect for a date.

Great dining experience for a large group. All the leaded and unleaded cocktails were delicious as was all the food. We ended up ordering double of all the small plates because they were so delicious. The cod and the spaghetti were decadent and perfection. We didn’t have time to stay for dessert so we will have to check them out next time. Thanks!

A very chic spot. On the eighth floor, seemingly “above it all.” A worthy successor to the now closed Hakkasan.

Lovely menu. We had a group of 11 and Sato Omakase did a wonderful job of serving us all the delicious courses in a very coordinated manner. Wonderful, special evening.
