    This is one of San Francisco's gems. Andrew is the owner and creates a truly simple and delicious French menu. Three of us went for the Sunday Chicken roast. The chicken was cooked to perfection and SOOOOOO much tastier than that overpriced thing at Zuni. The starter salad was simple, but fresh. The potatoes were a highlight (we even ordered a second round). They are like mini potato latkes! For dessert we indulged in the lemon tart that was heaven with the vanilla ice cream and blueberry compote. Highly recommend!
