    For the third year, we have come here for Thanksgiving dinner. It is a generous and delicious turkey dinner with stuffing, potatoes, green beans and gravy. For one price you get this turkey dinner with soup or salad and choice of dessert. The service was top notch. Our server was Seth who we have had serve us on many occasions. He goes above and beyond to make sure our meal is as perfect as possible. The GM Alex always warmly greets us and makes sure we are happy. The view of the bay today was spectacular with clear skies and calm waters. Always fun to watch the planes landing at San Francisco Airport and guessing what adventures folks are coming home from.

    EXCELLENT Thanksgiving Day brunch that had everything you would want. Turkey with all the trimmings, ham, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon, waffles, green bean casseral, pumpkin ravioli, lamb, yams, steak, prime rib, snow crabs, oysters, jumbo shrimp and various salads, cheeses and breads. The food was very tasty and the service was great. I highly recommend that you make reservations 2 months in advance, if you ever want to go for a holiday meal.

    Dinner was very good. The music is played at a very high volume that conversation was difficult. We asked the hostess to have the music lower a bit and her response was; let me ask the manager. Volume was not lowered; we then asked our waiter and he immediately made the miracle of listening g to the request. Definitely too high of music volume.
