   I’m not a fan of enforced courses. Price fixe is no bargain. I enjoyed only two of the three courses. And the entree was not tasty. One of my guests had the same experience with her scallop which were quite small. The other guest was happy with all three courses. But with wine and tip, the cost was over $200 a person in an atmosphere that was so loud conversation was difficult. I won’t go again. This was my third and last time. Service was excellent but the food was not. I will say the risotto was very good and the desserts were lovely. I had only a few bites of my chicken and the scallops were too small. I cook them better. The duck was excellent however for the third guest. The plates were pretty but I go to a restaurant for special tasting food. Two of the three entrees were not special. Sorry.

   Went for a post City Hall wedding lunch and it was fantastic! The team there knew we were celebrating and made sure to congratulate us. The prix fixe menu was a great deal because everything we ate was fantastic. We also love Presidio Heights. Thank you for hosting us!

   This is what an excellent dining experience is about. From the greeter at the front, full of warm welcomes on a rainy evening to the general manager re-seating us due to a wobbly table we had the most amazing evening. Service is excellent, Christian and the house managers were attentive polite and professional. The sommelier as well chose our white and red wines and nailed it! The food goes without saying, we had pear salad, crudeo and pasta. The special white truffle pasta as a share was amazing. Duck, scallops, lobster pasta as mains. Benigets for dessert with a vanilla and dark chocolate sauce. Cocktails also supreme, old fashioned, martini's and a Paper Plate! We really had such a wonderful time and it reminded me of the wonder of our city and the talented restaurant chefs, and servers in the Presidio.

   Overall very good. Food and Service was tasty and attentive. Hosts were very accommodating. The end to end experience felt a bit rushed and too rehearsed/surgical - granted this is a prix menu - but in this case a tad too focused on operation which didn’t leave any time to converse with Service nor create an impression that would help me wanting to come back. Thanks!

   Wines are heavily overpriced. The appetizer salads we had (quince salad and the pear/endive salad) we were mixed on. pear salad came with red radiccio, not endive. Quince salad was not very tasteful. Otherwise the entrees.....lamb and the scallops were outstanding. Ldt's not even talk about the chocolate tartelette and the beignets which were both a fabulous way to end the evening. Best part of the evening was our server, Erik, who was professional while being so friendly and a wonderful conversationalist....so enjoyable and relaxing for us not to have a stuffy server who takes no interest in the client .
