    I was very impressed about this place. I moved my reservation 3 times as I was coming from Napa valley and traffic was heavy. They were able to accommodate without issues. Additionally I mentioned in open table I was coming with a toddler and that we would be celebrating my bother’s birthday. Since I moved the reservation 3 times I didn’t say any about the BD but when I arrived to my table the high chair was already there and at the moment to ask for the bill a birthday cake came for my brother. It was pleasant that I didn’t had to do anything and they really read the comments in my reservation even though I moved it 3 times.

    We came here on a Sunday night after a show at Yerba Buena. It was very quiet, large upscale space, and the food was very good (and I’m half Indian). The only downside was that the service was sporadic (ie. getting someone to request the check took a while). Overall recommend.

    Fabulous brunch! You get to try so many different dishes, plus bottomless mimosas that are refilled before you can even finish a glass! Also brought a piece of ice cream cake for our friend’s bday, best food stop of our trip.
