“Great patio”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

Terrific lunch menu and outside eating just a short walk from the Mission. I had an excellent salad and desert. My luncheon pals also enjoyed their lunch. The ladies were impressed but, this is not one of those places that cater to the typical ladies'the lets do lunch" bunch.

“The patio across from the Mission is amazing on a warm day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

Got there shortly after they opened as they get busy. Service was very good and the pasta with tomatos, garlic and pine nuts was very good as was the tuna melt.
