Our waitperson, Camila V, was great. Just the right balance of service. She didn't hover, but we never felt neglected. The food was as tasty as I remember from pre-pandemic and pre-remodel. The space feels more relaxed and light. We had a great time having our lunch there today. I also forgot to mention that I was a member of your PC Rewards when we ordered and Camila pleasantly helped me update my account with today's purchase.

Best holiday dinner in the city. We were seated right away. Had martinis that were perfect. Dinner was delicious and served quickly. Our waiters were great about suggestions and appearing whenever we needed them. The whole staff was in a holiday attitude and it showed. We love this restaurant for its food and atmosphere. Always take visitors here for the San Francisco local experience. It’s a treasure.
