"We wanted to book somewhere close to our hotel, we were not disappointed with this restaurant. Only a 5-0 min walk. It was a Wednesday night , a bit late, 7:45 pm, they had plenty of open tables. We were seated right a way. The wine we had was excellent. We had a few questions for our waiter, who had no problem telling us how the artichoke was prepared. We went for the asparagus a side dish) as an appetizer. The asparagus were the big , juicy kind, prepared excellently. I had the Caesar salad a frito misto 2 appetizers) but the serving size was big. Enough for 3 to share. Needless to say, my husband I were well fed. The only thing at the end of the night was the bill. There was the SFO Health Mandate tax an extra 4%, then the gratuity, then the city tax. In total of 3 taxes on top of the food charge. As a tourist we were felt a bit ripped off, but what can a tourist do? The waiter said some restaurants would put the health tax in the food cost hidden tax) but now we know why the food costs is priced what it is."
