Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in Van Ness

I reserved a table for lunch at the Lafayette restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was fabulous. The staff was warm, friendly and extremely attentive. The food and wine were superb.

Two great dishes were the mussels and the boeuf bourguignon. The veal and chicken should be reviewed. The veal accompaniment was good, but the meat should be cut more finely. The chicken, too dry, with asparagus needs to be rethought, The desserts were perfect. I'll certainly be back

Friendly staff - great service - well prepared dishes - nice music play list too - nicely designed space and quality furnishings - just an appealing nice atmosphere - both the people and place

The entire high tea experience was perfect and ideal. Everything was perfect! The foods outstanding. The tea selection was so many it was hard to choose from. We each were satisfied with our selections and recommendations from our server. It was a wonderful afternoon and I would highly recommend this for a special afternoon with friends and family. Plus they have a no cell phone use policy. It was nice quiet conversations, exactly how dining out should be. Thank you to everyone who made our cold afternoon a delight.

Beginning with a drink at the bar, prompt seating at our table and friendly welcome, it was a wonderful night. We started with the oysters and shrimp cocktail. Both were large and fresh. The salmon and crab cakes were served properly cooked at the appropriate temperature. To finish dinner we found room to share the Brownie Sundae. Oh my!! It was amazing. We’ll definitely be back.
