    The ambiance is great! A very sexy space. We sat at the bar. It was cozy. We had some Pinot Noir that was spectacular! The food is very different than what we have had before and we liked it. Parking is easy at the lot on 21st and Valencia.

    For a place that’s been a fixture in SF for as long as Foreign Cinema my expectations were honestly low. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The food bests most of the 5 star restaurants I’ve frequented in SF, including some that are Michelin stars. The duck was perfectly cooked medium rare as requested and the grilled calamari was splendid as well. We topped off dinner with their flawless panacotta. Definitely going back.

    Among the best omakase meals I've ever had. A delicious opening tasted course to start strong. The last 5 bites of the meal were each better than the last. You have to try The Toast!
