- staffMy experience at the restaurant was absolutely wonderful. I loved the place and all the staff. The drinks were great.
- ServiceService:5
- serverUpon entering, the tables were decorated with rosemary, which offered a welcome olfactory relief and contrast to the smells of the SF streets. I asked the server for her preference between the salmon and the steak frites, and she strongly suggested the salmon. I was not disappointed; the salmon was good, with a great glaze.

Frequently criticized
- serviceOur group of four stayed at Hotel Spero for four nights and visited this establishment eight times for breakfast and evening drinks. Unfortunately, we were never even greeted, let alone served. On two occasions, two of us attempted to get to-go coffee, tea, and breakfast items without any acknowledgement.
- serverit took forever. We had napkins on the table even but golly it took a while for our server to remember
- waiting timeWe were quite disappointed with the service. Even though there were few people to serve, the service was very slow. There are better options nearby.

Convenient Hotel Restaurant with Good Value
My experience at this restaurant, conveniently located within The Hotel Spero (IHG) with an additional street entrance, was surprisingly positive. Staying at the hotel made it incredibly accessible. I found the food to be reasonably priced and quite good.
The service was also good, though it almost prevented a higher rating because I had to ask for drink refills despite the server walking past with empty glasses. I would definitely eat here again, just as I would stay at the Hotel Spero again.

Disappointing Experience, Avoid This Place
We hoped this little bar opposite our hotel would serve as a place for an easy and decent bite to eat while avoiding jet lag. Despite seeing mixed reviews, we took a chance due to its proximity. Unfortunately, only one person was serving both the bar and waiting tables, leading to a delayed and wrong order.
The place had little to no atmosphere and felt like it was begging to be bought out and refurbished. It was a tepid welcome to the city. For a much better experience, we recommend trying Tad's or Pinecrest for a much better dining experience.

Upscale Denny's Delivers on Food
In an area with many trendy dining options, I wondered how an upscale Denny's would fit in. To be fair, the food I had – a traditional 2 eggs breakfast, yogurt parfait, and waffle – were all very good, with the parfait being the best. The coffee was reminiscent of my dad's (Folgers).
My breakfast was provided as a voucher with my room. The service was prompt upon sitting down, and the food was served promptly.

Delicious breakfast, but surprising extra charges
My breakfast experience was good, the food was delicious. However, the prices were not as advertised. While a tax fee is understandable, other charges were revealed at the end.
What started as a $136 bill ended up being $200, which was an unpleasant surprise.
