“Service was good and kind. I had lamb meatballs, mussels, carbonara. Lamb meatballs were best lol mussels were just regular tasty but fries came with mussels were better than main menu. We asked more baguette for left over mussels sauce. ServerRefilled a lot of baguette. Carbonara tastes like instant ramen:0 Don't order that.I would recommend lamb meatballs and fries.“

“What an incredible find! By all rights this should be a Michelin 1 star restaurant. Funky, vegetable forward and friendly like AL's Place (RIP) or Cafe Olli in Portland. The cocktails were dialed-in and delicious - nothing too sweet. The dishes were symphonies of both known and surprising flavors. Was that pickled cucumber noodles under the crab salad? I don't know, but I know it was delicious! Is that fish sauce in the beef tartare? Yes or no, it's incredible!The criticism I see online of this place is that the dishes are small - they aren't, for the quality. We were more than full with four dishes between two people, which in a regular restaurant would be 2 apps and 2 entrees. That's entirely reasonable! MY only criticism is that I wish there were more dishes served heated. The Fregola was so comforting - it needs some friends!If you have a last-minute date night, this is on a very short list of excellent options. Don't miss it!“

“March 2024: Visited fairly early for Sunday Brunch solo. Sat in the sun because it was a bit chilly. Friendly French waiter but other waiters checked on me as well was very patient with my indecisiveness I had that morning with what I wanted to eat made suggestions and answered questions as well. No complaints about the burger or drinks.“

“We were looking for a coffee and decided to stop here to try the brunch. The food was deliciously amazing, it was a special prix fixe menu for Easter. Service is great. One thing I'd like to see improving is the tables outside; with such amazing dishes, it is below expectations to have these tables that take so much dirt. Either change the tables or put table cloth please.“

“I stopped by on a Monday afternoon, and was the only customer in the store. I love that they charge $5.50 for a chicken banh mi. It seems like all the other banh mi places in the Bay Area charge outrageously for $10+, and this is one of the last few decently-priced banh mi places. The ladies working here are really nice old ladies. They even asked me if I want jalapeño in my sandwich, and left me alone to eat in peace when I sat at one of the tables enjoying my fresh and crispy banh mi sandwich.“
