Impeccable, creative and exquisite. Definitely comparable to other 2* Michelin including The Modern and Atera. Will come back anytime!

Bridget Gael

The tasting menu was divine - especially with the wine pairing . Favorites included the amouse Bouche, beluga caviar and champagne pairing, cured egg yolk and bread dish, and the pb souffle

Claude Harrison

The abalone was fantastic. The ocean trout was a HECKUVA eye opener... the slow poached egg made us truly take our time. What a rich dish to die for. Impeccable service.

Cody M.

Fantastic experience! Slow poached egg , other-worldly whipped potatoes , delicious chicken , delicious desserts , and a white-wine pairing menu. #bestanniversaryspot

The prix fixe menu at the bar is a great value . Everything we ate was delicious. And Chef Syhabout is so humble and involved in every aspect of his restaurant .

Fodor's Travel

The room is minimalist and polished: nothing distracts from the artistry of chef James Syhabout , who creates a multicourse dining experience based on the season and his distinctive vision. Read more

Lovely little food journey brought the set menu . I'd have wished for a little more protein in the end.

Brian Strauss

Incredibly good and incredibly affordable for a two-star Michelin joint. Abstract yet exacting cooking. Surrender and discover.

Frannie Fryer

Seriously amazing and really a great deal. You think you won't leave full but you are stuffed by the end. Phenomenal.

Menus change often, but may have Dungeness crab w/ quince "snow" or caramelized abalone or charcoal-roasted Sonoma duck . – Green Guide Editor

Brian Strauss

They only have a tasting menu so come open minded and leave your picky friends at Burger King.

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

Wine pairings are very well-done here with a creative tilt and the short yet fascinating tea selection is a nice option for those not partaking. - Inspector

Hands down the best value:quality:technique ratio in the Bay . Always an amazing meal prepared by Chef James & his staff

jon k

It's all rather precious . The tasting menu allows you to sample dozens of tastes but there was really nothing there that I would want to make into whole meal. For $400 for two you can do better.

Incredible tasting menu . Sit at the chef 's counter

christa e

Delightful wine pairings . Lots of food.

Fred Ward

Price : quality ratio destroys basically anything on the other side of the bay .

Joseph Pred

Do yourself a favor and book a counter seat by the open kitchen . It makes for a great date night to watch their craft in action while enjoying the results! Read more
