Delicious Curly Fries!
I shared some curly fries with my daughter as we were walking by, and they were delicious. The food quality was excellent.

Patio views and furry friends
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The patio itself was nice, at least from the ankles up. However, I was quite surprised to see furry critters making their way around during our meal. It was a bit of a shock and detracted from the overall experience.

Cold food, subpar experience
My experience at the restaurant was just okay. The food was subpar, with the rice being ice cold. It seemed like the entire dish had just been taken out of the fridge, as if it was prepared earlier in the day. Overall, a disappointing experience.

Great Healthy Meal Near Venues
My experience at this restaurant was excellent for a quick, healthy meal without needing a reservation. It's the perfect spot if you're heading to SFJazz, the Symphony, Opera, or any concert. On a sunny day, the garden is delightful.

Disgusting Mice and Tasteless Food
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food was without taste. Ordering was done via a QR code, which meant the service was non-existent. However, the most appalling aspect was the presence of mice running around, and it appears this is a recurring issue based on other reviews. It was absolutely disgusting.

Mice infestation and irresponsible management
I had a very bad experience at this place today. I always loved the food here, but today, to my surprise, I saw many mice going around this restaurant. I spoke to management, and they responded very irresponsibly. I even saw one mouse entering the kitchen. Watch out when you are dining here.

Wasted Potential: Bland Food and Odd Service
My experience at this restaurant was largely disappointing, with the only enjoyable part being the act of writing this review. The food was consistently bland. My fish sandwich was overwhelmed by bread, lacked sufficient sauce, and featured cold cheese, as depicted in the accompanying picture. The fish itself was also bland. I had to actively seek out extra sauce by going inside. Furthermore, water is not brought to the table, and they solicit tips before any service is rendered. While the server was nice, and I have no criticism towards him, the overall experience was marred by these issues. The space itself is truly nice, and perhaps wine is the only redeeming option here. Adding to the unusual experience, mice were present, which I personally didn't mind, but given the poor quality of the food, it felt noteworthy.

Decent Fish Sandwich, Beautiful Patio
My experience at this restaurant was pleasant. I ordered the fish sandwich, which was brought to my outdoor table by a friendly worker. While waiting, I enjoyed the beautiful outdoor space with trees and tables. The fish sandwich itself was pretty good, with a nice crunchiness to the batter and it wasn't too heavy. However, I wish they had salted the fish more or provided extra sauce, as some bites were a bit bland without it.

Magical Spot with Incredible People
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. It's the perfect spot to sip sherry and prepare notes. The mushroom fries this month were a standout, featuring garlicky duxelle, rich cheese sauce, shaved Parmesan, and herbs. As always, it's the incredible people who truly bring the magic of the space to life. Thanks y'all.

Disappointing Service, Okay Food
I ordered through the app and tipped 20%. The food and drink were brought to the table. When I asked for some water, the “server” simply pointed to the water station and seemed unwilling to be bothered. I will most likely not be back. It was disappointing!
