She was sweet, but everything took incredibly long. The server said it was because the Giants game had just let out. However, if you 've been in business for 140 years and 25 of them have been down the street from the ballpark AND across the street from a hotel, the restaurant is not planning well. 30 mins to get a glass of wine (my husband 's cocktail arrived sooner than the wine . 45 mins for appetizers, though entrees arrived in a reasonable amount of time after the apps (significantly longer than after ordered, though . I know that food delivery times are not the server 's fault, but our server was confused and misrang several items, none of which were modified. At the end, someone else came and asked if we needed anything (it was just after close, but 1.5 hours after we arrived . We asked for a box and our check. When the check arrived, my husband immediately put his card down. Box never arrived. Our server came over and said we could flag anybody down to get the bill. We said we were all ready to pay and pointed out the card and added that we would still like a box. She said Oh! Awesome! I 'll find someone to bring you that box (why not just grab it herself??? and walked away from the payment. We were definitely confused. We watched her do sidework around the dining room for a bit before heading to the bar to pay the bill and ask for a box for the third time. Food as pictured. The jalapeno Avocado mousse on the arancini tasted like bagged guacamole, though the arancini by itself was awesome. The baked goat cheese was incredible!!! Wings were spicy as expected and well executed. Fries, the last appetizer to arrive at our table, were very fresh. We added bacon to the gnocchi which we really enjoyed (a play on a carbonara and we love the rigatoni every time we come here. Summary: visit this place! Atmosphere is cute, the history is cool, food is worth trying (price isn 't bad , but leave yourself plenty of time for service.

Great restaurant and bar. The fries are always a must have. read more Great restaurant and bar. The fries are always a must have.

We enjoyed a delightful brunch, and the watermelon margarita was especially refreshing. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We look forward to returning for dinner the next time we're in San Francisco.

I’m truly at a loss for words and don’t even know where to begin, which is rare for me. I was so impressed that I started writing this positive review while still eating—a first! I arrived before the kitchen opened, determined to enjoy the full three-course experience based on the glowing reviews, and I was not let down. I enjoyed two Pomelo Spritzers, a mixed greens salad, and—after some helpful guidance from Jamie—the Baked Goat Cheese. If you go here, order the Baked Goat Cheese and drink plenty of water; this dish alone is a life-changing culinary experience. Next up was the house-special Mai Tai and Rib Eye. Wow. The Mai Tai’s flavor is incredibly unique—Brian/Bryan, fantastic job! It’s the best Mai Tai I’ve ever had, and I’ve tasted them worldwide. The Rib Eye? Almost gone before I knew it. It literally melted in my mouth and easily ranks in my top 10 Rib Eyes ever. To finish, I had the Baked Bread Pudding and a cappuccino—simply epic. If you’re in the area and willing to spend a little for a place that blends a casual atmosphere with luxury dining, you have to check out The Fly Trap. You won’t be disappointed.
