Crispy Pork Belly over lentils and spinach? Oh yeah!!! Amazingly well prepared. The environment is small and comfortable. Reserve through Open Table. more

Great food - sitting at the bar was a lot of fun and the bartender was knowledgeable and attentive. Butcher block was all good as were the pork chop, seafood stew, chocolate cake and lemon custard... Will be bringing the girls here! more

Top 100 Bay Area Restaurant for a reason. Nice execution and fresh ingredients. Generous pour. Great service. The hostess managed to get us seated quickly despite the crowd. Very, very noisy, though. more

Deafening. The crab salad Lyonnais rocks! And the service can, at times, be stellar and exceptionally personally attentive. more
