What People Say

Reviews consistently highlight the top-tier service, with many noting staff who go above and beyond to meet pre-concert timing. Diners love the smoked salmon, pork chop, and seasonal tasting menus. The space is frequently described as “elegant but not pretentious,” with some calling it a hidden gem for out-of-towners. Many applaud the Bay views and the open kitchen as conversation starters.

Areas for Improvement

While the food is praised, some mention the pricing is on the higher side, especially for à la carte dinner options. A few have noted that it can feel a bit business-like during weekday lunches, given the Financial District location. Reservations are recommended, particularly on show nights—it gets busy fast.
