Suggested spot by two local friends, who joined us for dinner. Checked in, ordered a bottle of nice sparkling wine, and waited out front. Seated in the time frame suggested by friendly host(s). Popular spot, and no surprise.
Staff were great. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was well presented, and delicious. I'll look forward to returning again next time I'm in San Francisco.
