First Crush Restaurant & Wine Bar

First Crush is no better than someone falling asleep on your shoulder during a crowded flight, snoring in your ear, and scratching their head. Actually, I’d probably take that over eating here again. Basically, I’m not impressed.
Now that I’ve been here a couple of times I can actually say the food here is quite mediocre. I was pretty disappointed, especially after being kind of excited about it.
So, the presentation is beautiful, and I think that’s what lures people in. Yes, it’s not uncommon to eat with your eyes first but if that’s all it is, there’s much to be desired. By now I’ve probably tried almost everything on the menu (minus the pork items, of course) and just one after the next there was a lack of seasoning, or something was overdressed, or overcooked, too chewy, textures were off, etc. There are quite a few flaws in the technical details and the flavors were pretty hit or miss which makes it a pretty frustrating meal.
Anyways, it’s a cute date spot, could be quite romantic depending on the noise level. Love the big windows and people watching. Great ambiance.
The staff is super friendly and service is pretty good.
Parking? Don’t even try!

Disappointed with the service. We warned the waiter about a food allergy TWICE, and the food that was brought out still made us sick. The waiter was also arguing with a table next to us. Not that they were great guests, but you also don’t argue with them (you apologize, put a smile on, and get them out as soon as possible). Not a good experience at all :(

Nice wine bar in union Square area. I was looking for a glass of wine and a light meal before a red eye back east. I found it here. The place is really comfortable and has this sort of wine cellar feel to it. Had an excellent selection of California wines. My Petite Syrah was from Ramsay and it was very good. The California cheese board was also really nice. I also had the sea scallops small plate. Excellent! Beautifully prepared with a blend of spices that can’t be described.
I’d definitely come back.

Wow. I USED to love this place.
Maybe it was an off night this past Friday, but wow! Such a disappointment.
My wife and I did a Chardonnay flight and a Grenache flight. In each there was one sort of okay offering and two really unpleasant ones.
And then the food… The beet salad bore no resemblance to the beet salad I tried three years ago that opened my eyes. It’s supposed to come with chèvre but apparently they had run out (on a Friday night??) and substituted it with a few crumbles of an almost flavorless blue cheese. And the waitress made no mention of it. The bed of greens (kale I was told) was indelibly bitter.
Then the scallops, which on several previous visits were reliably among the best I’d ever had, were mediocre and the cauliflower was prepared differently and over-​seasoned. And two for $ 15?
The lamb lollipops, on the other hand, were very good, but they were «out» of the mint chimichuri sauce. They were served without any sauce and again, there was no mention of the missing part of the dish.
The waitress really didn’t have any clue about any of the wines we asked about.
So, I really hope that it was an off night, but overall the experience was a big disappointment.
After the unannounced (and then asked about) substitution of bland bleu cheese with the beets and missing mint chimichuri with the lamb, I thought it would have warranted an offer to comp the salad or something, but nope!
Like I said. I hope it was an off night and that your experience is better.

Alana was our waitress. She was right on! The service and food was delish. Yum yum.
When in San Francisco, this is a restaurant you want to try. Ask for Alana.

Had rsvp 2-​night at 9 got there 10 till. The doors were locked, advised them we had rsvp the host said oh we tried calling u we’re closing early tonight, ahhhh no showed them my phone records. NOT HAPPY

The food was amazing… The location is small and great for a intimate dinner! Would highly recommend. Start off with the cheese platter paired with a Talley Pinot Noir.

I found this amazing gem based on Unilocal reviews. It’s cute, it’s sexy, the food is top notch, the service impeccable. The owner stopped by a few times & was funny & kind. I couldn’t ask for a better meal or ambiance. Ribeye was amazing, salads delicious & sides perfect. Do try! U will not be dissapointed! :)

Came here with a co-​worker (we are both concierge at a high end hotel) and wanted to check this place out. The first thing was the pungent seafood smell that hit like a tidal wave upon walking in. It was also very hot and humid? We were given menus but almost left as the smell and heat were almost unbearable. We decided to stay for a flight of wine and an appetizer. Our server was very unfriendly. The food was okay but I found everything to be grossly overpriced. Something was very off about this place. It has a lot of potential but we were utterly disappointed and felt that our bill was just robbery for what a crappy experience we had. Will not be back nor recommend.

WTF HAPPENED? The service here apparently sharply deteriorated since that glorious inaugural visit, unless someone was playing some mildly mischievous joke on me which I doubt because it’s been several days and no reveal.
Don’t get me wrong, the food was still splendid as was the wine, so my favorable recollection wasn’t just colored by hangriness. But our server, after two go-​rounds of trying to slide in and grab barely-​touched dishes meanwhile not offering to refill beverages, just vanished. Did I also mention we waited nearly an hour for those barely-​touched dishes, two of which were starters? It was a totally bummer experience.

I would give them negative star, went there for valentine day dinner. Bad service and the food suck. Worst experience ever.

Boasting the largest all-​California wine collection in San Francisco, First Crush Restaurant & Wine Bar — located in the heart of Union Square — pairs an impressive selection of carefully curated California wines with mouthwatering, tapas-​style dishes that highlight local, organic ingredients.
First Crush has garnered numerous accolades for its wine selection, including the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence that it has received since 2001. Upon browsing its wine menu, I was not only impressed by the comprehensive, all-​California wine list that fully captured the beauty of wines grown in this region, but also by the whimsical names given to the wine flights. Don’t the names like Bouquet of Rose, Sexy Gal, and Pleasure of Pinot just tickle your tongue for more?
While First Crush is best known for its wines, I also enjoyed the food menu featuring New American cuisine with a Californian influence. I would highly recommend ordering the wine flights and small plates to share — as a caveat, the portion for these «small plates» were rather large. Some of my favorites included:
Fritto Misto ($ 14)
Think of this plate as everyone’s beloved fried calamari, but with an addition of rock shrimp as well as jalapeño, Fresno chili, and green onion for an extra layer of spiciness. While I would have preferred the sauce to be on the side to prevent the shrimp and the calamari from becoming soggy, the sweet and sour sauce really made the Fritto Misto special.
Roasted Trio of Organic Beets ($ 15)
Chunky pieces of juicy gold and red beets with ornamental kale, pistachios, Laurel Chenel goat cheese, tangerine pieces, and watermelon radish were tossed in white balsamic vinaigrette to create this plate of fresh, colorful beets salad. I loved the interplay of different textures, from the creamy goat cheese to the crunchy pistachios.
Cabernet Marinated Mini Lamb Lolipops ($ 20)
Even though it was cooked a bit too well done for my liking (I personally prefer my red meat to be rare), the lamb lollipop had beautiful sear on the outside on top of creamy, triangular piece of polenta with mushroom bits and micro greens. The lamb was glazed with Cabernet-​infused demi glacé to accentuate the flavor.
Ahi Tuna Tartare ($ 18)
Fresh chunks of tuna sashimi was mixed in with avocado, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, Meyer lemon, and daikon sprouts, and then topped with a dollop of wasabi caviar over a bed of green seaweed. The side of crispy taro root chips and a drizzle of wasabi aioli on the plate complemented the tuna tartare perfectly.

I’ve been here a few times, and I love how they have a lot of local wine flights! More places should do that.
I also used one of their Doblet phone chargers during dinner, and it worked out great. :)

My boyfriend and I went to First Crush for NYE dinner and I was extremely disappointed. The menu was prix fixe, which is oftentimes expected for holiday dinners. We were able to make reservations for our desired time, and we were seated when we arrived. The first course– the mushroom soup was delicious and was served at the perfect temperature. I ordered the stuffed salmon trout over couscous, which was extremely bland and cold. I chose the tiramisu for dessert. The top layers were decent, but the bottom layers were icy and tasted as if the dessert has been sitting out for awhile. I was not impressed with the quality of the food for the cost. I have had a much better meal for half the price at other restaurants. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

We were there for the Christmas Day prix fixe dinner with wine pairings.
I’m sorry to say that I was very disappointed – especially given the cost of the food and wine.
My fish was so heavily spiced that I couldn’t taste the fish at all and it seemed to have a peculiar chewy texture.
The fish was served over a bed of rice that likewise had an unappetizing flavor.
Our server seemed like a friendly person who was doing his best but he didn’t offer us water or bread when we sat down which seemed peculiar because the table next to us got both.
I noticed that the table next to us sent back their food and they also complained about some advertised ingredients being absent from their dishes. The same happened to us but we hadn’t noticed the omissions.
I found the wine pairings skimpy and uninspiring.
I understand that this was Christmas Day after all and one has to make some allowances for that but if you’re going to charge premium prices I would expect premium quality and premium service, no matter what day of the year it happens to be.

Went here for our Work Christmas party over the Christmas weekend and was very disappointed. We were a table of 7.3 of which were kids. We were seated promptly and we’re all waiting to order drinks for a while before our server came to greet us. My boss started with wine and my husband had a trummer pils. I asked for water being pregnant and all. Our drinks came out after a while of waiting for them. Once the 2^nd half of our party got there, which were kids the waiter greeted them and asked for there drink order. They were out of Sprite and had no root beer only had Coke in a bottle.
After there drinks came again a while after waiting we were finally ready to order. We were promoted that they were out of the pulled pork sliders and the wild prawn dish. Which the kids were wanting. I ordered the filet mignon. My husband order the cioppino and split the prawn Caesar salad for a app. My boss ordered the tuna tar tar and scallops along with the pumpkin soup as a app. She ordered the Mac in cheese for the kids without the lobster and my other co worker ordered the burger for herself and her daughter. She ordered the pork loin and filet mignon for the other kids. after waiting again a while longer our app.‘s finally came to our table the soup was cold and the Caesar didn’t taste right and the shrimp were a little under done. I didn’t get to try the Mac n cheese but the kids liked it. After finishing our appetizers relatively quickly we had some bread come to our table. Had to flag down our waiter for drink refills. We saw tables served after us getting sliders delivered to their tables. So we don’t know why they weren’t offered to us.
There was a lot of waiting around for food at this point. Which we kind of understood being a bigger table. Once our meals came we were all really disappointed except for my coworkers burger. All our food was luke warm. My husbands cioppino was not what we had seen at the table next to us. There was hardly any seafood and hardly filled the bowl. My fillet was undercooked and flavorless and the vegetables were also undercooked. My bosses scallops were also very cold as well like everything was sitting out. The dessert trio was the best thing on there menu. The lavender crème brûlée was the best thing at the restaurant. Not to mention it was freezing in there with no heat we were all in overcoats the whole time.
We think maybe we had a sous chef make our meals and that’s why they didn’t come out like the whole restaurants meals. Dine at your own risk! my boss remembered it being a lot better a couple years ago so it could have changed owners or chefs since then.

Steve and Amanda are great and the food was spectacular!!! The salmon, Tuna tartar and the cheese selection were awesome… I would recommend the flights of wine, I enjoyed the Zinfandel flight. It’s a busy place I would recommend reservations, or getting there early. Great times and friendly people, it’s a must on your list!

I have been here three times, and every time it is simply wonderful. First time was with my bridal party (8 girls, with reservations), second time was with 3 of us, and last time was just my husband and I. Super friendly staff and amazing food. Quiet ambiance in the middle of a very crowded city. Perfect place to stop after a long day of shopping.

Just for clarification, the low rating is ALL because of the poor customer service. This was probably the worse experience I’ve ever had at First Crush. We were seated for over 15 mins before our server came to us, and when he got to us, he didn’t go over the specials they had, so we missed out on some delicious Lobster Risotto. In addition, the server was not attentive whatsoever, we ordered a few appetizer items (including the famous lobster mac n cheese), and when the appetizers came, there were no serving spoons. It took forever to get the servers attention to get some serving spoons or for anything else.
However, the food is ALWAYS excellent here, can never complain about the food!
P. S. Let’s make sure the pens work please.

Me and my fiancé went there last night (Saturday night) let me start with selection of their wine, it’s amazing we loved the fact most if not of their wine were from California (Napa Mostly)
Wine menu is a iPad that has descriptions and name of each wine (pretty cool)
You can seat there for hours and enjoy people and tourist pass by, décor is very chic and romantic
Food: my fiancé is vegetarian and order their portobello mushroom and she was amazed with the taste of it, all of menu is organic and fresh (even their bread)
I ordered their swordfish dish which was really good, I enjoyed it specially their portion was perfect
Deserts: we ordered second crush (or next crush) it was very tasty and goes perfect with wine
Service: one of the best restaurant service we have seen lately, our server took the time to explain and we get the chance to chat with the owner which was really nice
Nice place with great service
Must try, we will be back for sure

We had friends that have been here in the past and they recommended it. We were in the city for a Saturday night and thought we would try it. We were surprised that at 7pm on a Saturday night the place was half empty. I believe our waiters name was Marco. We told him we would SHARE the beet salad and we each ordered the pork chop entrée and a bottle of Duckhorn Merlot. And we waited and waited and waited. No bread or butter & no waiter. After about 25 minutes Marco comes back and says «I found the wine». At that point we should have walked away.
The salad came and it was very small. About half way through the small salad he said our dinner was about ready. We asked him to not rush us. When our dinner arrived we noticed another table also ordered the beet salad and it was easily twice the size of the one we received. Our guess is that since we said we were going to share the salad the kitchen split it and our waiter only brought the one dish. The pork chops were good– but not great. As were finishing our waiter made one of his rare stops and I asked why all the other tables had bread and we didn’t. He said we should have had bread and I said, «well, you’re the waiter». He then asked if we wanted bread and I said no we were finished our entrees. And then– he brought the check– he didn’t even ask if we wanted to see a desert menu or wanted coffee or tea.
I looked at the check and he didn’t put the bottle of wine on the check. I told my wife that maybe because the service was so bad we were being comped the wine. So I placed our credit card in the folder, he came back, picked it up and came back with final bill. Still no wine on the bill. So I signed it and the transaction was final. My wife and I talked a few more minutes and then he came back and said «Here is the rest of your check». This was bill for $ 123 ($ 108 for the wine and $ 15 in SF tax). I said I wanted the first bill back and voided because I left an 18% tip on that bill and I wanted a bill that covered everything. And, I would not be leaving a tip. He said they couldn’t do that. I said I wanted to see a manager.
After 10 minutes Amanda Burman showed up and identified herself as the owner. I was very clear and stated I wanted ONE bill that covered everything and I wanted a credit for the first bill that I signed and that you have processed. What I got was an explanation of their billing system (Aloha) and that she would void the first bill at closing. I made it clear that I wasn’t signing the revised bill until I left with a piece of paper indicating a credit for the first charge. She said that will take a little while and I said we will wait. She came back 30 minutes later with some documentation the first charge had been deleted– not really a credit slip. I told her how terrible the service was– waiting a long time for the wine because Marco couldn’t find it, no bread, half the salad we ordered. She apologized and said Marco had only worked there for two days. Really? Do they not have a training program? Is there no one watching what is happening in the restaurant? This is the first time of dining in restaurants for over 45 years that we did not leave a tip.
Absolutely awful customer service, high prices and good but not great food. Never again at this restaurant.

We did a big team event here with 20+ people. When we first arrived, the hostess was too busy playing with her hair to walk us to our section. «Down there» as she pointed with her elbow. Uh, ok… So we walked down the stairs and walked until we hit the dead end of the curtain wall. I guess we found our spot. It was a dilapidated dungeon of an overflow area that wasn’t ready for a pre-​pointed group. We had reserved this spot a week ago and they just were not equipped to handle us. Air vents were missing, there were holes in the wall, and the dish rack was just sitting out on the bar.
The food was decent but we paid an arm and a leg that night for a terrible service experience. This place had it’s run but you should look elsewhere if you are going to pay their rates.

I am an industry guy and I met chef at some event and he said if I ever came in to say hi. My aunt is in town and asks if I am cool eating at First Crush… yeah! Food was amazing, awesome oysters, beet salad, and scallops all absolutely first rate. The last time I saw my aunt I made lobster mac and cheese, was put to shame by chefs!
Told the server that if chef has time I would like to go back and say hi. Chef came to us, remembered me, remembered the event we met at and gave me a card to show where this event is ongoing. Better Burger, look it up. And he personally brought us dessert! Top notch food, service (got great wine pairings), and chef made me look like a big deal in front of family. Well played First Crush!

It’s alright.
We went here for Dine Out SF, the sample menu was more expensive then getting the items alone… by about $ 15.00. Pretty much a rip off.
Other than that, it was pretty empty for a Friday night, we showed up early and they were able to seat us right away. The wine flight was pretty darn delicious, and the lobster mac and cheese was worth every penny. I also had a salad as my main entrée, my other two friends had the trout and the chicken (it was a few weeks ago and I can’t quite recall). Regardless, each food item was divine!
The wine– a bit over priced but pretty normal for San Francisco, the hype was way overrated, and the staff was alright. Service was mediocre at first and then once we got talking with the server he seemed to treat us a bit better, they also let us stay for a while just drinking wine and shooting the sh! t.
All in all, I may come back for a wine flight or some lobster mac, but I wouldn’t come here distinctly for Dine SF again.

Wow… where to start…
I will start before we even got there…
I called for a reservation (because their open table reservation required a credit card… is that standard now!!!) and they said that they weren’t taking any more reservations but that we should stop in and that they had lots of space.
So we got there about 20 minutes later and it went from a «lots of space» over the phone to a 15 – 20 minute wait. Oh well… that’s just how it goes, right? But then the 15 – 20 minute wait turned into a 30 minute wait as we watched party after party get in before us… and even those with reservations were waiting for their tables a while… strange, but just the start. By the time we had been seated, we saw about 5 tables seated before us, at least three parties turned away because the kitchen closed at 9pm – apparently earlier than the hostess thought it closed, and excuse after excuse to customer after customer from the hostesses about why people weren’t being seated on time.
We got in (FINALLY) and were seated about 9:10pm…10 minutes after the kitchen had closed… supposedly. We got in our orders and were looking forward to some great sounding dishes: The seared scallop appetizer in the «full size» portion, the cioppino, and the truffle fries… so here is where the review starts.
What happened to the bread? Looks like they ran out… all the tables seated last didn’t get bread.
Food prep way too slow… unless they were catching the fish as we ordered it. The table next to us got there before us and got their food after us – we felt really bad for them. The table next to us were very friendly and said the ravioli was very good. But when I asked them if they would recommend anything, the guys said «Yeah, like never coming back here!» *hint hint*
The «full size» scallop dish, @ $ 25, was in fact served in an appetizer dish… which isn’t bad except that the meal still looked small, with four skimpy, yet well cooked scallops. That’s probably where they «earned» the one star.
The cioppino dish, @ $ 28,was the least appetizing, least hearty, least seafood-​ish cioppino I had ever seen. It’s was «are you f&$(ing kidding me» small – as a matter of fact it would have fit in a cup of soup, so I don’t know why they bothered putting it into a shallow «bowl» that almost could have doubled as a plate. Small pieces of overcooked fish (and it only had halibut, no salmon as advertised on the menu), three mussels, way too much mini calamari, luke warm (at best) broth (which was actually quite tasty).
Last was the truffle fries. Can’t mess that up, right? I am not sure what they were going for with the fries, but it kind of reminded me of all the crunchy fries at the bottom of the fry cooker after a long day at McDonalds. Small pieces of crunchy, overcooked potato bits that resembled kettle chip crunch rather than french fry crispness.
The desserts looked good, but we did see one served, where a hostess knocked the ice cream that was in a small ceramic container off the plate, got some of it on her red blouse, then put the ice cream and the container back on the dish to serve to the customer… and they did it right in front of the customer… but either they were so stunned to say anything or didn’t care, but they didn’t say anything about it, so I guess it was okay with them.
At the end of the day, the final damage, including the three dishes and 2-​$ 12 sidecars (which i was told was pretty good, so hats off to the bartender) and 1-​$ 7 beer was $ 118 including a «discretionary» 20% tip… wtf is a «discretionary» tip?!?
If I had to choose to pay for that meal, it was probably worth all of HALF of what we paid in food costs – the drinks cost what they cost.
So if I had to give any recommendations, much like the customer next to us, I would recommend you stay away from that place until the quality of service and professionalism, and the quality of the food GREATLY improves.
Happy eating… just not here!

A great little nook for brunch. We started off with mimosas and ended up with super hearty portions of brunch entrees. I opted for my traditional huevos rancheros, which was definitely tough to finish off even though it was tasty.
The owner was super nice and presented us with fresh squeezed pineapple juice and a few freshly baked mini muffins on the house, as well.

I have to give this place 5 stars for all the great birthday accommodating they did for me. I emailed this place weeks in advance for reservations and to see if they can do a personalized birthday menu for me and they were very happy to accommodate all my requests. They really know how to make a birthday special. They personalized the menu to say «Happy Birthday _​_​_​_​_​_​_​!» and the staff knew of the birthday celebrant and greeted happy birthday every time and even put a candle on the desserts we ordered.
I ordered the Maine Lobster Mac & Cheese, side of the Roasted Marble Potato and the Grilled Grass-​Fed Angus Ribeye Steak. The food was great and would definitely order the same ribeye and the mac & cheese again. The side of the roasted marble potato I could pass on because I felt like the flavors were too strong that I really couldn’t even taste the potatoes.
The desserts here are to die for!!! Each dessert was around $ 9 each and they have this deal that you can order any 3 for $ 20! So of course I ordered the 3 for $ 20 and got the bread pudding, strawberry shortcake and lavender crème brûlée. The bread pudding and strawberry shortcake were one of the bests I have ever eaten. I wasn’t a fan of the crème brûlée, just because I felt the lavender taste was too overpowering.
One thing I would recommend for this place is for the waiters to be more informative of the foods. I asked the waiter for recommendations on sides and desserts and both times I was just told «It depends on what you are on the mood for» and that was it. I like recommendations at restaurants so I can order the best thing on the menu.

This is a fashionable, cool place to eat small plate food or to impress a woman on a blind date from downtown SF, with a bit more unusual dishes but with great American Italian flavors. They have your typical charcuteries, cheese plates, seared ahi tuna, and other like type dishes of chicken, pork, and a couple of vegetarian choices. I tried the flight 1 meat plate which consists of cured meats, tiny pickles, stripped red bell peppers and toasted bruschetta bread w/​melted cheese. Tasty! Great pairing with wines, but I opt’d on Erdinger Hefe-​Weizen served in a tall beer glass instead… And it was definitely my first crush in this restaurant.
The décor is that clean but dark colored contemporary. The bathroom is located downstairs with a long stroll walk through the hallway with a flight of stairs. The bartenders are great and prompt! They lend me their iPhone 5 cable because my charger wasn’t working. You’ve revived my dead iPhone 5!

Came here with a Groupon to try the brunch menu which just released this summer. Opted for the burger and hand cut fries ($ 16) and it satisfied my craving for red meat.
Crushing it +‘s:
+ Burger cooked medium rare was perfection with generous meaty tomato slices and baby romaine lettuce.
+ Quiet and cozy. Nice respite from Union Sq bustle.
+ No wait. We could sit anywhere.
+ Brunch selection ranged from coconut pancakes to Banana Foster French Toast to egg dishes. Portions looked generous.
+ Prompt coffee refills.
+ Custom Bloody Mary drinks start at $ 8 and quickly add up with toppings but it’s custom-​made.
Not crushing it -‘s:
— Burger add-​ons are $ 2 for avocado or egg. Can get pricey with additional fixings.
TIP: If adding an egg to your burger it’s $ 2. Consider ordering 2 egg side dish for $ 3.

Used the $ 40 groupon here. What we ordered:
Dungeness crab sliders – loved the strawberry salad, couldn’t really taste the crab though
Ahi tuna tartare – delish
Oysters on the half shelf – yum
Snake river farm Kobe burger – it’s decent and hits the spot
Lavender crème brûlée – MUST ORDER!
Peach mimosa – mmmmm
White chocolate bread pudding – divine
Make your own Bloody Mary – didn’t care for the green tomatillo, but definitely add a slice of bacon, it’s crusted with sugar, need I say more?
Servers were friendly and prompt, and the groupon was a great deal that got me to try this place since it is on the pricey side.

First of all, I am not a San Francisco native; I am writing this review as a visitor of San Francisco. I visited the city on a work trip, and other co-​workers in my region decided to get together for dinner to hang out. Our region director recommended this restaurant, since it is praised for its finest and organic ingredients, along with a high-​class yet modern urban ambiance. I would probably compare this restaurant to a place you may visit in Wynwood-​Miami. We stayed at the Hilton on O’Farrell street near downtown, and the restaurant was just a two-​minute walk away.
I ordered the black pepper fettuccini dish with organic chicken. The portion was perfect, not too much (such as the exorbitant Cheesecake factory portions) and not too little. The dish was very fresh and I enjoyed every bite of it. I also ordered dessert: white chocolate bread pudding with blueberry compote and vanilla ice cream. Holy mackerel! My digestive system was the happiest! My co-​worker ordered it too and had the same type of feeling! This dessert was powerfully delicious. It took the waiter forever to bring it, but I assume it’s because perfection takes time (and the restaurant also became more crowded as the evening progressed).
The restaurant is a bit pricey, but I recommend that anyone visiting or living in San Fran go there. I will for sure make an effort to visit there again next time I am in the area.
