    Zuni never disappoints - the chicken, the Caesar, espresso granita, shoestring fries are my stand-bys. Also the hamburger, polenta, fish and more. The vibe in that room is always the BEST. SF institution… <3

    Delicious food and outstanding service from beginning to end. Loved the hot cocoa and toasting the marshmallows at the end! We were not rushed at all and enjoyed the whole time in there! Definitely the best Apres Village my wife and I have had and we typically come very December!
