Delicious food in a cozy intimate setting. We sat up top of the stairs by the bar with a distant view across the bay to Marin. Everything the kitchen prepares is very fresh and the wait staff are as accomodating and professional as can be in a popular, tightly run and busy San Francisco location. Amongst dishes our table raved about were a fresh heirloom tomato soup, a perfectly cooked rack of lamb, an herbed baked fish dish served over chick peas and argula. A secondi daily special side dish from 'off the menu' featured spinach raviolis in a sage butter and we only wished it was double in size! The waiter brought us plenty of local Anchor Steam beers, wine, Lauretana sparkling water, foccacia and even a plate of plain noodles with butter to appease a hungry toddler. For dessert we had a lovely light and liquered up tiramisu and a very rich & thick flourless chocolate cake that was so dense it seemed almost like a creamy fudge. The only dish we were disappointed by was a caesar salad which was served with crisp romaine lettuce and grated cheese, but had no liquid dressing or garlic accent of any sort other than lemon. Maybe we are Philistines and this is traditional, but to plebian pallette it seemed somewhat dull, unfinished, very dry and was the only item that lingered unfinished.
