Workin my way thru the menu and havent had a disappointing meal yet. Great food, excellent service, tasty drinks
We tried the Tuna Tartare and the curry mussels. We were absolutely delighted with how they tasted. The combination of flavors that the tuna had with the rice was so refreshing. The mussels were amazing that curry flavor was cutting through the coconut milk just perfectly with a bit of spicy at the end. The milk/juice was so good you literally wanted to just drink it! We also had the fried calamari and that batter that was in it was so ultra light and crispy! When you turn around towards the west you could see the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. Absolutely stunning of a view. We were here celebrating a birthday and big accomplishment and the food, atmosphere, service delivered at the highest level possible!
Entree is a little pricy for its quality. But a comfortable environment to spend time and get some drink or bites. Outdoor seating is great when the weather is nice. Staff is really friendly and cheerful.
I dined at the 4-star restaurant with a lovely Bayview, and the ambiance was truly enjoyable. However, while the food was good, it fell just short of excellence. The setting and the Bayview certainly added to the overall experience, making it a memorable evening, but there was room for improvement.
Amazing location for a party. Food can be better. It really depends on what you order. Services are smooth. Parking is also available.
