My wife received a pork chop was extremely undercooked. The staff seemed less than accommodating.

Decent food and cute/cozy vibe, but the experience was ruined by junk fees. This is essentially a fast casual brunch spot.

There's a 5% health fee and a 5% service fee, which the restaurant makes very clear on the menu that these are not part of the gratuity. In addition, you order with the hostess before getting seated and tip upfront instead of after the meal. So you're essentially paying at least a 28% fee just to sit at a table that turned out to have no actual service. After we got our food, nobody checked in on us.

The breakfast sandwich was pretty good. The dutch pancake was kind of bland and flavorless. Not coming back.

Great drinks. Don’t get the hype on the dinner dishes. Everything I’ve tried including their top recommendations was underwhelming. The mandatory 5% service charge and 5% sf mandate on top of asking for tip is lame. I live nearby and actively avoid this place when introducing my friends to the area. The service is hit or miss.

This place is super cozy! We were able to get a seat for 2 for dinner without a reservation. The place had just the right amount of people chatting it up. The service was quick, the servers seemed happy, and the food was impeccable. I will concede that it was $36 for a chicken dinner, and I thought that was a little pricey, but it was honestly a really good meal and was worth the price. We got some of their fresh baked bread w/ butter and that was delicious, too.

One of my favorite in SF. Obviously the sourdough (and all of the baked goods) are awesome, but in reality I have never been disappointed here across multiple meals, dinner and brunch. Fresh ingredients, incredible service, and great cocktails. Recommend this place to everyone.

Omg! The food and the drinks are even better than what you think. Nothing is too intense or too sugary. I tried the danish french toast with cheese and the salmon toast and a tea (don’t recall the name)

The manager is a terrible person that calls the cops on anyone with a camera.

Overall, the experience was underwhelming. Although the women at the front who seated us and took our order were genuinely polite and kind, the service beyond that was virtually nonexistent. Being required to pay the full bill—including gratuity—before the meal even began felt questionable. To be fair, that policy likely reflects a management decision rather than the fault of the waitstaff, but it sets the tone for the entire visit.

No one checked in on us, no sugar was offered with the coffee, and the water jug on the table was never refilled once it ran low. The portion of the steak and eggs was especially disappointing—there simply wasn’t enough steak to justify the price, and I left the restaurant still hungry. The food itself tasted good, but nothing impressive enough to outweigh the other shortcomings. Some might argue that I could have raised a hand to ask for what was missing, but in my view, that defeats the purpose of quality and attentive service.

The perfect cozy place for a foggy SF day. The elevated “home-cooked” dishes are always exactly what I am craving, whether their weekend brunch or weeknight dinner. Everything is seasonal, fresh and flavorful. There are no misses on the menu.

Just had our brunch on Saturday, Hosts are nice and made us feel so welcome.

Meanwhile a server who serviced our table quite ruined our impressions. I asked her for sharing plates (for party of 2). She gave me only one... how is that called sharing plates?

And people were right after all that after dropping off the foods nobody come to check on us if the foods were okay...?

I had to walk to her asking for another plate. And got the LOOK like I cause a problem or something.

She worn a green T-shirt. Just in case someone in management team wanna have a talk to her if they still care about the services.

Funny that I left 25% on tips at first because their hosts were so nice to us which I can take it back. (we had to complete the paymemt before getting a table).

Never again.

Such a great spot! Super cozy vibes, warm and friendly atmosphere. Sat at the bar after the lovely host Tiffany greeted me warmly, had the smash burger and fries (delicious), and chatted with Camille who is the sweetest and kindest bartender I’ve met in a minute!
