• Contemporary American • Noe Valley

Booked 32 times today

We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly gracious host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there. Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.

I wanted to eat everything on the menu, it looked so delicious! I have had the Greens cookbook for years but never was able to make it to the restaurant until now. I am so glad I did!! We had a wonderful time, and we were treated so well from the moment we walked in through the end of the meal.

I celebrated my birthday here on Tuesday night. My party needed a few special accommodations met and the staff fulfilled them all happily and efficiently. The food was amazing and the cocktails were exquisite! We absolutely loved our intimate nook on the street parklet with its cozy heaters and vibey chill ambience. The standout moment goes to our server LAURA! She was so warm, funny and entertaining, which is exactly what is needed to make an occasion (like my birthday party) special. She even snapped a photo of my party after the restaurant closed. Thank you LAURA!
