Beef Wellington

“We made reservations there for my Mom's 90th birthday. We had a great time and the staff were very hospitable and available when needed. The only unfortunate thing was that we went there specifically for their Beef Wellington, which is somewhat of a rare find at restaurants. We had a 6:30 reservation and they were already out of it. On a positive note, they said when making the reservation if you let them know that you want the Beef Wellington, they will make sure that there are portions available to you for your dinner reservation. It was nice that they came out and shared a champagne toast as well for my mom's birthday. There were others there for their birthday who were seeing the same toast. It was a very festive environment. The restaurant itself has a dining room and a reservable speakeasy. The dining room was pretty small. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and definitely will come back with a call ahead for the Beef Wellington!“

“From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. It's clear they genuinely care about providing a great dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious! The mango margaritas are hands down my favorite, they're perfectly balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. The chile rellenos plate was incredible, with flavorful peppers, delicious filling, and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite tasted fresh and homemade. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. I will definitely be coming back for the flavors and feeling of home.“

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.

Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.

I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.

If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.

Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

Pictured is the egg white sour. They do breakfast, but not dinner foods durinb bar service.

When the grill got to much chard and started to smoke a little they would change it for a fresh clean one. They changed ours about 4 or 5 times. I'm sorry for anyone who had a bad experience. Go during a weeknight. Ask for a different server. Try not to waste or overcook your food. Be courteous and patient to get a table. But just keep ordering every chance you get. Keep the food moving on the grill and order wings, dumplings, sushi and calamari etc. Work with them and they'll work for you! Happy grilling!“

“I come here a lot even though it's an hour's drive each way.
It's my favorite place for watching live music in the whole bay area. Great 90s and 80s cover bands, decent sound system (some sound guys could do better preventing the upper bass drone), great 80s decor and vibes, good drinks, very fair prices, and the bands don't start or end too late. The DJ music after the band is good stuff. And the crowd is always energetic, appreciative, and a lot of fun. For example, the band that played Joy Division and New Order, played deep cuts that real fans love, and the crowd was ecstatic!“
