The food is terrible. Salad was the best thing we had, some flavor but very plain for the description. The duck and scallop entrees were bad. The duck was cold served with a tasteless sauce and mediocre mashed sweet potatoes. The scallops were almost raw with bits of sand, served with rice that tasted like greasy plastic. The service was inexperienced, poor quality and awkward. Do not recommend at all. Save the money and go to SF or San Mateo. Way better food for the price. For $50 pp you can get a lot more. Very disappointing as we wanted to like and support local restaurant. Definitely will not go back.

Great food, very friendly services. I would highly recommend. Especially after a long flight to SFO (or before heading to your flight home.). Wine list is a bit sparse, but the food is very good.

We waited quite a while to order as they only had two servers but they gave us a salad to share and comped the corkage fee which was not expected but very much appreciated. Food was amazing and the desert was my favorite. Definitely recommend.

Our first time here, great value for dinner on Valentine’s Day and the food was exquisite. The decoration is lovely. The live music was a bit loud but I understand it is not usually this way. Overall it was a great experience and I will go back to try more things from the menu which looks amazing
