While a few found the service acceptable, most expressed disappointment that it overshadowed the otherwise excellent meals.

I wish I could give this restaurant a higher review. Truly, I do. I love the idea of this restaurant and the food is fabulous. Unfortunately, the server (and I believe there’s only one), may be a hardworking businessman, but he’s not a great server. We’ve interacted with him multiple times, and every time, he’s just… *sigh* rude. He’s a rude man. He’s impatient and unkind. We were about to order dessert when his last rude retort just took away our appetite. We will not be going back. If you can tolerate poor behavior from your server, I do recommend the food here. It’s excellent. It’s truly sad that the service is so poor. I wish this restaurant the best of luck. Please enjoy the photos of the incredible food. Whoever is in the kitchen is working magic.

The food was fantastic but a bit too strong on the herbs and pepper (lamb). The server was on his own and seemed rushed but otherwise provided great service. This place is a hidden gem. It doesn't seat many people and that's a good thing. I would absolutely come here again.

This place is as close to a 5 star fancy restaurant you can get in the bay area. Located in a Victorian house, It's a must come! I reserved a table weeks in advance, foods amazing, fancy, and romantic. Great place for a date or proposal.

Consistently good meals, everything on the menu is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We enjoyed the chicken with mashed potatoes and the rib eye steak.

I brought my French Father in-law here as he wanted a good steak and this was nearby. He was very satisfied with everything and was even impressed by their wine list and I couldn’t agree more. Delicious food in a very calming atmosphere. They even accommodated my wife who’s vegan and was nervous about asking for that special request. The waiter encouraged her to speak up when she wants something and I fully supported his encouragement. Great experience overall, will take my mother there in the near future
