Good food, friendly service and convenient location to Orpheum Theater for pre show meal. Strongly suggest making reservations on show nights! Shared beet salad, Caesar salad and Honey Glazed Korean Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies. Nice and crispy skin...surprised that I got a half chicken (drum, wing, thigh, breast), so great dish if you're hungry! Others ordered pasta and enjoyed their dishes. Topped it off with a pecan pie that was much softer than others I've had. Would go back again.

Absolutely phenomenal. The pork belly Benedict was extremely flavorful and the shineji mushroom omelette was full of umami and the chimichurri was fresh and delightful. We enjoyed our trip and the wait staff were so kind and attentive. Definitely worth the trip!

Great breakfast, great service! This is an oasis of the grime, smells and chaos that is the Civic Center

I had a truly good sandwich, fried chicken I believe. I felt sorry for the waiter as he was by himself and had to serve everyone!

Came here with a group and got brunch!
Good:
- Solid mint coffee latte drink - super refreshing and adding the foam was unique
- The loco moco was really hearty and the beef was extra tasty
- Nice servers even though the wait was very long
- Super cute and modern decor! Cute home-like ambiance and very clean - good double date location
Bad:
- We waited about an hour for our food - it seemed like they were too busy on the day that we arrived.
- On the more expensive side
Overall this was a cute find - would come again if they aren't understaffed.

This is the second time I’ve been here after a show at the Orpheum. If you can make reservations you’ll want to! This place is great. We had very friendly service, the food is fresh and super yummy and we just love the ambiance here. A few times they’ve changed the menu dishes based on what’s playing in theatre. This will be a regular for us! Def try the truffle mac n cheese, fish n chips and the pasta. Soooo good. And the best dessert was the lava cake!

Food was good. Truffle Mac was perfect. Disappointed to hear that there was a menu item 86'd them see it served later.
Food was very good, I got a cob salad and it was good. The second time I got the same salad the lettuce was not the best. I also got the chicken and waffles and Fish and chips and they were outstanding.

Good food. Not great but pretty good. Chicken sandwich wasn’t super flavorful. Korean tacos were pretty good.

This is my first time eating here and it was good. Great spot that is walking distance to the Orpheum Theatre. If you're a BroadwaySF Member you'll get a 20% off discount from your bill.
The walls of the restaurant were filled with production posters with cast signatures. I hear the actors and production crew usually order good from here.

Famed Beef borgionon, and beer selection was not available, fries were ok but did not taste of duck fat (or where crisp), the pot pie tasted cooked way in advance and not spice profiled.
Waiter did try but for the price level your better elseware.
Food was mediocre and settled for drink selection. Does seem like a lot of effort is being made here.
Lots of solo diners.
The fish and chips did smell on point though.

The food was great and so was the mimosa flight. My favorite was the prickly pear mimosa. All the staff were very kind and took good care of us!

I ordered to go but let me just say I am a VERY picky eater plus I'm pregnant right now. I almost don't like anything but I ordered some beer battered fish omg SAM y'all did y'all thing. Crispy, perfect amount of flavor. The malt vinegar and lemon just made an entire party on my taste buds. My pregnant self will be back a few times ☺️
