The oysters on a half shell was the perfect size, very fresh. We greatly enjoyed the Chicken & Speck Croquettes, Oeufs Mayonnaise: such wonderful flavor!

Christian, our server, provided exceptional service throughout the evening - attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making our visit special. The burger was perfection, juicy and flavorful. Their wine selection impressed me, and Christian's recommendations paired perfectly with our meal.

- AAnneSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 19, 2025A somewhat different breakfast entree - smoked polenta with pork, cilantro and seasonings. Delicious and unique. Almost better still - the best hot tea I've ever had in a restaurant. The tea itself was superior English breakfast blend but it was served truly HOT in a double-walled metal teapot with loose tea leaves infused in a basket, and the second large ceramic cup of tea was as hot and perfectly brewed as the first. As an inveterate tea-drinker, believe me when I say this was a completely singular presentation in my (usually somewhat disappointing) experience. THANK YOU.More infoVillonPrice: Expensive• Californian• Downtown / Union Square•4.1
