    The food & drink was for the most part excellent but the noise was nearly unbearable. We had a group of six and so they put us in a room with two larger tables. The other table was occupied by an extremely loud single group of at least 10 people. The sound was so unbearable that it actually made being at the restaurant uncomfortable. I am sure this would be a great place if you sat in the little alley for a romantic night but it was awful for a large group.

    My gnocchi was divine, as well as my lychee drink. The bread pudding for dessert could win an award.

    What a cute spot in SOMA! Who knew there was a quality neighborhood restaurant just a few blocks from our hotel and Moscone - Also, their happy hour was fantastic - since I am not a big drinker, the food selection was fabulous for me to concentrate on. Would go back for sure.

    Upon checking-in, the maître d’ was friendly, helpful and engaging. She asked if I wished to dine in the main section of the restaurant or if I would prefer a location that was less boisterous for easier conversation. I found this to be quite thoughtful as a member of our party is hearing disadvantaged. The waitstaff was timely, receptive and knowledgeable and the time between placing our orders (appetizers and entrées) and receiving them was very agreeable 15 minutes, tops). My entrée was good (I had the rigatoni) but not great (the sauce was a tad watery and somewhat bland) but the appetizers were solid (fried calamari and a hummus plate) and were served within minutes of ordering. My companions each had the house burger and said it was fine. Overall, an enjoyable evening was had. My only wish is that they’d bring back the Osso Buco (I’m dating myself!) as it was a phenomenal addition to the overall menu. Otherwise, a return visit to The Fly Trap is in the cards!
