Our garden setting offers a serene escape from the bustling city for memorable private events with a large group, or a warm, casual dinner just because it's fun to go out. Whether celebrating a special occasion or enjoying an intimate meal with friends, our passion for quality food and warm hospitality promises an unforgettable dining experience.

Finish up sweet with our beloved key lime pie. With our authentic, old-school SF vibe, we will make you feel like you belong here-- because you do!
We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly gracious host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there.
Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.
