    We ordered the Family (?) menu and it has to be the best bargain in SF! The food was amazing and the cocktails we ordered were incredible. Phi handled a situation that came up for us seamlessly, what a pro. Only 2 suggestions- the all inclusive meal should’ve waited being served until we were through with our cocktails. Also, the beverage pairing was slightly weak for the price point I thought. Also we really enjoyed meeting the owner and her helping out when it got busy. A great experience overall!!

    We had a delightful early dinner at San Francisco's legendary The Franciscan. Our server, Yuri, regaled us with tales of the history of the restaurant, and provided great service. We had the wonderful sea bass... simply prepared with great roasted vegetables. And a great view. Thanks!
