We had a very nicely prepared omelette with fresh avocado, and shared an exceptional slice of cheesecake drizzled with this lovely Thai inspired sauce. The mango mimosa hit the spot as brunch favorites go. Relatively new eaterly just off the main Noe Valley drag.

Great food. Wait staff forgetful. Had to remind them 2x about another bottle of water. 2 people in party and 1 had food served 10 minutes before the other. Needed to talk to staff 2x to get my food. Definitely not worth the money for the level.of service.
Memento SFResponded on October 18, 2024
Hello Chris, Thank you for dining with us and sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your feedback and sincerely apologize for the experience you had. Unfortunately, we were fully booked that night, and our head cook was sick and had to go home right before dinner service, which led to some challenges with our service and food flow. We strive for excellence, and it’s disappointing when we fall short. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a better experience. We do our very best, but in this restaurant business, things often happen that are out of our control. Best, Raf (Owner)

From the vibrant flavors, personal and attentive service, to the bold art adorning the walls, this was a great dining experience. The menu was eclectic and creative. The salmon tartare and roasted beet rigatoni with ricotta were delicious. The mussels were served in a rich curry that was just right and with enough crostini to ensure none of it went to waste. We will be going back.
