"I had previously been to LionFish (pre Covid and had an exceptional meal and experience. Hence, why I came back. Hitting the bar might be ok, but this experience was mediocre and has me second guessing another attempt: Ambiance: we were seated in the far back, early dinner (we had a show , so it was a largely vacant room Drinks: I had their special bourbon and fig old fashioned like drink it was overly sweet, hard to taste the bourbon over the sugar crunchy sugar bits in it. Not my deal. Food caveat: I am a celiac and so require accommodations that may mean no sauce (soy sauce is a non starter , but I do expect higher end restaurants to have alternatives as opposed to 'naked ' food. Apps: had the duck tostadas they were good, copious duck, but lacking in anything exceptional. Just dry shredded duck. Good crispy tostada. Just no umph. Dinner: Steak, and Brussel sprouts and the duck entre. Steak was cooked medium, Brussel sprouts had a bland cream (plain sour cream? dolloped on them. The duck was forgettable not succulent, and in my opinion, overcooked (I don 't remember any crispy skin on it... . Overall an unremarkable meal. Very expensive. Two cocktails, two glasses of wine. ALL this for $350! Reflecting on it, I am bummed because the image I have is a 'hotel restaurant ' (which this IS... but not on the scale of The Pendry, which I expect a strong chef to run, but it felt more of a "this came from our production kitchen that is also doing a conference rubber chicken dinner next door. No character. For food ignorants that go for the hype and cool looking bar (or primary access to the club later that night. Ouch. Sorry. Just not what I expected."

"the evening was an uncanny experience. I've been to ruth's chris before. it's almost always busy, loud and tasty. this time it was just delicious. it was Tuesday, 10 March. Corona virus was suspected to penetrate the bay area. Although a few weeks from the inclusion, san francisco approached the recipe, and people already left their lively restaurant scene. when we arrived in rc, there were only four people at the bar and two deuces occupied in the front dining room. the two of us were shown at a stand in the back dining room, where we were the only diners for about half an hour when a party of two couples was shown. I've never experienced the dining room to be so calm. it was a joy, but it was the right thing from the wrong ground. the dinner was as usual excellent and we could not remember, except for a few very late dinners there when the restaurant had allowed us such a comfortable conversation. it would be wonderful if it were to be like that every time we go there, but not from the terrible reason it was. Anyway, to loud restaurants are ubiquitous san fransisco fluch. the waiting staff was really wonderful, but a distinctive aura of care. How much longer would they have jobs? would they be able to provide their families? what could happen with the restaurant and their jobs if the virus visit was an extended one? unsafe was a definitiw in our night out. we left a very generous tipp. there were a few more people at the bar and two more couples in the front dining room when we were gone. but in the back dining room was no longer space. among the many, many restaurants in san francisco there are several who settle themselves as steak houses. some are in order, some are good, a mere, more handful ascent over the other. we hope they will all survive, but we have no idea when we can return."
