    Everything on the menu is excellent, but especially the quality cocktails and meats. Don't miss the BBQ Pork Belly, Meatballs & Grits, Short Rib, or Diver Scallops and read on at WinstonWanders below! Read more

    Fabulous in every sense of the word and a much-needed establishment on Castro. Chic. Modern. 100% American cuisine. Food is locally sourced as well as much of the alcohol! No Grey Goose here kids. =)

    Love the Brussels sprouts with maple vinaigrette and bacon! The mac and cheese is also very yummy and cheesy. Easy to make reservations, great for groups or dates.

    Take the bar seat and watch amazing food being prepared right in front of you. Ceviche, Chicken&Chilies flat bread, Short Rib are a must!

    Nice job on the crab cakes!! The truffle flatbread is nice and smooth and the palate and they have a very creative wine selection

    Pork belly. The very definition of. The standard by which all others should be judged.

    Great brunch spot with excellent bloody mary's. Recommend the pecan banana bacon waffles if they are on the menu

    Pork belly appetizer is tasty, although you pay more for the atmosphere here than you do the food

    Great ahi tuna. Their BBQ sauce is homemade and amazing. Onion rings are to die for.

    Got our car broken into last night while having dinner at 8pm at the public parking lot behind the restaurant. Dinner was good, but heard that it was the 3rd car burglary in the past couple of weeks.

    The firefly cocktail was very nice. The fried chicken was a bit too hard

    They recently updated their menu with some new twists on current dishes. The seared Tuna is a good choice.

    Bacon wrapped dates were good. Fried chicken with cornbread pudding was also a good pick.

    The beef raviolis were good, nice sauce and toppings. The music was another matter entirely.

    Decent restaurant but food was sometimes unimpressive. Pork belly was okay and I've had better bacon wrapped dates before. I did like creme Brule and roasted artichokes.

    Try the Butternut Squash/Pancetta/Blue Cheese Pizza for a nice change of pace. Sweetness of the squash makes the dish.

    For a healthy option, order the simple fish with lobster tarragon

    Well designed food, not always well executed. Has the "management company" feeling about it, as if it were being operated via remote control from an office somewhere.

    Cocktails are interesting in design, but they don't staff the place with people who can execute.

    Too much "sandbagging" (preparing food in advance) in the kitchen leaves this place pretty hit or miss. Definitely doesn't live up to its potential.

    White table cloth dining with a Silicon Valley vibe. Way overpriced food for what you get.
