What a terrible disappointment. My guest had a steak that appeared to have cremated. My veal Saltimbocca was a deconstructed version. I don't mind that. But, this had very little evidence prosciutto, insufficient sage, no evidence of lemon and was chewy. That, of course, suggests it was over cooked. The meal was over priced. The restaurant was nearly empty on a Friday night, at 8:00 PM. I now understand why. I won't be back.

The server gave off an odd vibe. He had a bit of attitude at times, and seemed to be a bit frustrated even though he shouldn’t have been.

The wait staff is professional, attentive and welcoming. Julian always has time to personally welcome us and converse when he is not busy welcoming other customers. The food and atmosphere is old school Italian, one of my favorite cuisines having grown up in San Francisco. Our good friends and we enjoy our dinners at Buon Gusto every month.
