    We had a reservation, but they were able to seat us slightly early. Very nice table next to a window with a gorgeous view of San Francisco. There was a lot of variety in the menu. We were with a vegetarian and there were several veg options. Our waiter was polite and attentive. An absolutely wonderful place to meet old friends a have lunch!
