• Middle eastern • Tenderloin
Booked 3 times today
The Clift’s famous and historic Redwood Room has been restored and reinvented as an exceptionally modern San Francisco bar. Suffused with glamour and Art Deco style, the interior features the original redwood paneling which, legend has it, was carved from a single 800-year-old redwood tree. The original artwork on the walls by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt was restored and re-hung.

    Loved everything: the mazze platter (both quality and quantity), the orange blossom drink, the attentive service, the vibe. One of those rare places where it does not get too loud when it gets busy and with the music.

    Everything was delicious and came out quickly. The restaurant does have some acoustic panels on the ceiling that helped moderate the noise from other tables, so we could easily hear our conversation despite the restaurant being fairly busy.

    The shish taouck and the lamb chops were both so tender and delicious! The sampler was excellent. Would definitely order the same again next time we go back.
