I came here all the time for lunch when I lived in SF; I was in for a conference, and decided to go to dinner, which was much more crowded. Staff was, eg, dealing with a table of about 24, so they were slammed and the restaurant was very loud. After about 20 minutes of not being greeted by a server, I asked one sprinting by if someone was assigned to me, and I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly kind and attentive she (and the other slammed staff) were to me for the rest of my time. The food, as always, was incredibly tasty — I always get the salmon toasts, which have a wonderful honey taste, and this time I ordered patatas bravas and garlic shrimp, as well as gin and tonics. As someone who travels solo for work and pleasure frequently, I always like to note when a restaurant treats a solo diner with the right combination of attentiveness and leave-you-in-peace, and the combination of great service and great food here makes this a regular SF stop for me.

Great atmosphere and service. We liked most of the food, some dishes more than others. Our favorites were the Piquillos, Croquetas, and the Sangria to drink. The desserts all looked great and we enjoyed one but I don’t recall the name. We recommend and will be back.
