“Solid all around experience. Food was well described ordering at the counter. Dining was comfortable in the cool retro decor with perfect playlist to match. Food was excellent: Caesar was perfectly balanced in textures and flavors. side braised greens shined with ginger and bold seasoning. The “bay sauce” was sweet, spicy, tangy and aromatic with fresh Thai basil, over super tender well seasoned chicken. It’s not your classic heavily dredged coating, so as long as you’re expecting a less greasy thin crisp coating you’ll be pleased. Even the rice was seasoned with delicious subtle flavors I couldn’t name. Devils food for dessert was super moist and balanced. Loved the drinks too.

Beyond the flavors on the plate and the nice atmosphere, this will be a return stop for me because of the ingredient quality. Fruits and veggies from top Bay Area farms, Koda rice, dandelion chocolate and I believe thoughtfully sourced proteins as well.

The all day hours mean I’ll be back for lunch soon.

Thanks team!“

“Great venue.
Came here to see Tommy Castro. We have seem him a few times and LOVE his music. This time he played by himself and it was awesome. So intimate and memorable.

Food was tasty. Service was friendly but a little slow. I think that’s hard to do when you have everyone sitting down for a show asking for drinks and food at the same time. Maybe iif they get more staff it would be a little bit smoother. Especially with the price you are paying.

Definitely recommend. Look forward to coming again.“

“We had a great experience until they called last call. We asked for one more drink when we she said we can only do shots. We purposely wanted mixed shots such as lemon drops and green tea shots. She told us we can only do well shots… really rude and doesn’t make a lot of sense.“
