Unique Mexican-Italian Fusion with Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great mashup of Mexican and Italian flavors. We visited on a very busy night, but the staff was still highly attentive, and the food was amazing.
I highly recommend trying the aranici appetizers or the fresh bruschetta. For dinner, the birria lasagna was so good and unique. I will definitely visit here next time I am in downtown SF.

Mixed Experience: Good Atmosphere, Rushed Service
I had a 5-star experience with the atmosphere, and it's clear this is a well-loved spot for the after-work crowd. Regarding the food, the Paella wasn't the worst I've had, but I was surprised by the addition of broccoli and the omission of butter beans. The service was rushed; my plate was nearly taken as I was taking a bite, and my beverage was removed before I was finished.
We also had desserts, and they were just okay. I would have loved an espresso, but it's not on the menu, FYI.

Good Food, So-So Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was definitely a highlight, with both the cod and the pork being very good. However, the service was only so-so.
The atmosphere was quite loud in the outside covered areas.

Great Happy Hour Spot with Unique Food
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for a happy hour visit. The drinks were quite affordable, and the food offered some truly unique offerings. I particularly enjoyed the octopus, which was incredibly soft and tasty.
The pizza was also solid, with a nice undercarriage and char. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the service was timely and friendly. We were able to get a table with some ease, and sitting on the patio was a nice touch.
The overall vibes were fun for an after-work evening.

Expensive and Underwhelming Experience
My experience at this restaurant was really disappointing. You're paying exorbitant prices, and I mean exorbitant, easily $100 a person in a group of 6 (one drink each, split appetizers, one entree). The appetizer portions were insulting, the cocktails were tiny, and the food was just.
Super unwhelming. We got 2 steaks at the table – neither cooked right, both super small portions, and they came with literally nothing else on the plate. The Sea Bass was the same story.
The paella was good, but that's about all the positive I can share. On top of all that, service was very lackluster. I'd skip this one.

Great Location, Private Service
My experience at this restaurant was defined by its great location, offering a view of the ferry building. The outdoor seating was a pleasant feature. The service was private, though a bit slow.
The atmosphere was rated a 5, service a 4, and food a 4.

Decent Food, Service Lacking Drinks
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The food was decent, and the service was fine. However, it was disappointing that they were out of multiple signature drinks on a Wednesday during dinner.
Considering the price, I felt it was not worth it.

Food Great, Service Slow
My experience at this restaurant was quite an experience. The food was excellent, receiving a perfect score. However, the service was a significant issue.
Our food got lost, and despite asking for it three times, we only received it after a 40-minute wait. The waiter did a dance to apologize. 😢

Portion Size Disappointing, Not Worth The Money
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing regarding the portion sizes. We ordered a salad and two entrees, but still went home hungry. It felt like it was not the worth the money we spend.
The vegetarian options were limited to just a salad and one pasta dish, leading to a recommendation against it for vegetarians. While the service received a high rating of 5 and parking was validated with a discount, the overall food score was a 3. The atmosphere was rated a 4, despite being loud, though conversation was still possible.
Wheelchair accessibility was good, and there were plenty of parking spaces.
