i was in town for a work event before hubby joined me after my first night there. stephanie behind the bar took amazing care of me - she was personable, genuine and recommended dishes and drinks and made me feel like we’ve known each other forever. i was traveling alone so this was much more appreciated than a lonely dinner for one. she is terrific - go see her behind the bar!

The food was really good but when we made a reservation we asked for a table for 20 ppl and we got one long table and then (4) pub tables pushed together and only had seats for 18...we had a nice time but with a requirement to spend $75/pp I would have expected a more conducive set up for the tables

Nice ambiance overlooking San Francisco. It's great for drinks, but the food wasn't the greatest. I enjoyed my dish which was seafood over rice, but the other people in my party really didn't like what they had. The prime rib was much too fatty and the bone marrow wasn't that good. They had a good DJ playing real house music and the place had a nice spirit, but they need to improve on the menu.

The menu was very short and the food left a lot to be desired compared to the cost, I couldn't finish my dish since it lacked seasoning and had a lot of skin. The attention was very limited, it took us about 30 minutes to be able to pay the bill, we had to go directly to the cash register since no one attended to us.

Hard to rate due to one rather large issue with the manager. Also, though Open Table gave the option of indoor or outdoor seating, the whole restaurant was open and pretty chilly until later when they turned on the heaters. They will bring you a blanket if you're cold though. The food was very good. The paella however, had no crust so was actually a delicious arroz con mariscos instead. The new Cod dish was fantastic and the Pulpo perfectly cooked though we didn't care for the olive puree, which was a bit overpowering for us. Our server was great, very friendly and attentive. Offering to have the paella refired for the proper crisp, but we declined. It was delicious regardless. The drinks were very good the first round, completely different the second round though the same bartender. The second round both drinks had a lot more mixer. More volume and too sweet to taste the alcohol. Both should have been and were the first round, alcohol forward cocktails. Very inconsistent. Bringing the rating down is the fact that the manager, who walked around constantly with his phone in his left hand, only washed his right hand after using the restroom. We were actually sitting in front of the open bathroom sink area and both my husband and myself, unbeknownst to each other were watching to see if he would set his phone down. He did not. He finished washing his right hand, made almost a production of wadding up the, paper towel before walking out and drying his right hand the rest of the way on his pants. It is next to impossible to properly wash OR dry one hand in my experience. Other than that rather disturbing incident I would recommend for the food, service, drinks and beautiful views. Just don't let the manager serve you any food!!!

It was amazing, I went to celebrate my anniversary with my husband and had very good cocktails, they had a very nice DJ , we where in the Bar then got seated with very beautiful view in a table for two. 100% recommend.

Went to celebrate a friend's birthday. The food was fabulous. Try the bone marrow and flat bread. The drinks were decent but lacked something. The atmosphere did not disappoint but the view offered wasn't spectacular. Maybe we were sitting in the wrong spot. Nonetheless, this place has earned a return visit from

Came here for a girls night dinner and we made sure to make a res ahead of time. The vibes of this place was amazing! There's a great view and the service was pretty good. The food was also pretty good! I would skip on the whole roasted chicken and the paella next time because the chicken was kinda try and the paella flavor was lacking. Other than that the drinks, food, and ambiance made this a perfect night for me and my friends!

They were able to squeeze us in on a Saturday night, but definitely recommend making a reservation first. Food and drinks were amazing. The atmosphere speaks for itself, we really enjoyed it.

loved the outdoor seating and music! service was a bit slow, but maybe because it was on a busy night. the food was not bad, really enjoyed the bread of the bone and marrow dish and PAELLA! the portions were suprsingly filling too. i wanted to order some of the foods i saw on other yelp reviews but i think they changed their menu up a bit. cocktails were mediocre

Very nice place with a beautiful view of the city, we arrived between 3:50 pm it was not crowded, we ordered the CHARCUTERIE plate which was very delicious, for main we ordered the ENGLISH CUT SHORTRIB it was super salty and with 2lbs of pepper we couldn't give it not even two bites because it became impossible to swallow it..Regarding the service, the waiter didn't really attend to us, he walked around the place...The bartender, seeing that we were neglected, gave us first-class service 5⭐️Since it was my birthday, the house gave me the ORANGE BLOSSOM CREME BRÛLÉE dessert, which was very delicious.
