Overall, the food was exceptional. The flavor pairings were great! The asparagus toast and state bird were exceptional. Give the ice cream sandwich a try. It does not disappoint. The only food item that did not have the same quality was the fry bread. It was slightly gooey on the outside and really lacked flavor.

Every detail. Every bite is thoughtful in every way. Hand made plates that are like no where in Sf! Chef Alter’s food is perfectly balanced. Portions are generous… while the details are stunning and unbelievably detailed through story telling of sourcing and connection to the people who grow each ingredient. It made us so happy and we felt nourished and genuinely cared for by the staff. We truly loved every delicious bite
