As we were about to order dessert, the check was abruptly thrown at us. Despite having a 9:30 reservation, we were finished by 10:26, which seemed too early for a restaurant claiming to be open until 1 am. I would have rated the food higher, but the poor service left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope that San Francisco residents are more welcoming than our server was.

I think the only reason is because it's inside a hotel, so you can't see it from the street (there is a sign). The food was amazing, and yes I'm an SF foodie, and would consider myself a harsh critic. I think this place had a perfect vibe, chill, hip, eclectic light fixtures decor, all without being pretentious. Our server was really nice, and made us feel like we were right at home. The food was wonderful and unexpected. The artichoke was delicious, the flat bread was very flat, which I love since I'm trying to be low carb. The pesto angelhair pasta with crab and prawns was obviously not low carb but scrumptious. Will definitely go back!

Table was not ready for seating (although a number of tables were empty). Waited at the bar to be served a beer (10min).

Then waited another 15 min at the table for someone to take a food order. The halibut was over cooked. Servers were very polite, but not as attentive or available as one might expect for a 3/4 full restaurant.
