    As always, my partner and I had a fantastic date night at Creekwood. Our first date restaurant has become our every date restaurant. It’s warm and cozy. Waiters are attentive and helpful. And the food. The food! Never had anything here that wasn’t fantastic. Our bill came in at under $100 for both of us, including two of the pricier glasses of wine (consumed by me; excellent Bordeaux blend). Love this place!

    Great little restaurant in North Beach. We had the meatballs and the special which was osso bucco and it was delish! The wines they offer are great value as well. We will be back the next time we are in San Francisco.

    Food is inventive and delicious . It has a bistro vibe and is very cosy. Service was attentive but since the space is small it felt a bit rushed. The shared plates are generous. Don’t miss the oven fired bread with tapenade and the arancini.
