    The food has always been outstanding and expertly presented. The menu, however, appears to be static with few changes made over the years. There are other little things that can annoy a diner who has experienced other top restaurants here and abroad. Butter is nearly as hard as a rock; it should be closer to room temperature. Another thing I noticed is that there was no attempts to remove crumbs from the table, which standard is at world-class restaurants. Tonight, it appeared as if the staff was thin and not as visible as in the past. Attention to the little things and great food is what earns Michelin stars.

    Our experience was wonderful. My party of twelve was seated upstairs to afford us a little more privacy and the ambiance was percect. The service was attentive without being intrusive and they were always near if a request for something popped up. The food was excellent with a menu that offered enough options to offer tantalizing decisions that had me wanting to order more than one entre'. We will be going back!

    One of the prettiest places to eat in San Francisco or anywhere for that matter especially at Christmas. Lovely dining experience. Dining room is pre fixe but lots of offerings make it a great deal before you add wine/cocktails but it’s a great bar list so splurge! Service is excellent although watch they don’t rush you through your courses. A great place to take friends or visitors in town or for any celebration. The bar and kitchen view seats are great for people watching.
