Such a gorgeous view! I couldn’t stop staring at the waves, even after the sunset.

I had their special of the night, NY Steak with garlic scalloped potatoes in a red wine reduction. It was very good but slightly undercooked for my taste.

Long wait but good food. We had the deep dish with pepperoni and garlic. The sauce was just right, but I was expecting more cheese. The crust was a bit too dry as well but I guess that can’t be helped. :) It really was good though. My husband and I couldn’t finish a small.

I don’t eat seafood but my husband loves it, a friend recommended this place because they had both seafood and grilled cheese.

I had: Grilled Cheese – (Cow Girls’ Mezzo Secco, cave-aged Gruyere and Fromage Blanc served with house made pickled vegetables) This was very very good. I was a little nervous to try the cheese, but it was sooo good with the bread.

I had a great time at this restaurant. Our waiter was hilarious and the chef came out to talk to each table.

I had: Vegetable tasting – This had 4 small bowls of seasoned vegetables. Roasted Potatoes, Eggplant, some kind of noodle and something I can’t remember. The roasted potatoes were my favorite.

Garlic Eggplant sushi – This was awesome! But only 2 pieces.

Vegetable Tempura – Awesome as ever..They cut a star shape out of the mushroom.

The decor was so cute, the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. Our waiter actually thought he recognized my husband and I but I’d never been to San Francisco before.

I had: Bagna Calda – (Garlic cloves, oven roasted in extra-virgin olive oil and butter with a hint of anchovy.) I thought it was pretty good, but I liked the oil best, the garlic cloves were too well cooked, they had no bite.

Garlic Hummus Cocktail – (with Toy Box Tomatos and Garlic Crostini) It wasn’t the worst hummus I’ve had, but it needed more garlic bite.

Half a Rack of Garlic Encrusted Baby Back Ribs – The Ribs were excellent. I didn’t even use the bbq dipping sauce because there was so much flavor in them. The Garlic Yukon Gold mashed potatoes were fantastic as well.

Garlic Ice Cream – This was by far my favorite thing of the night. I was really shocked by the pairing of bitter garlic with sweet caramel and ice cream. I loved it.

Choose between a few selections of breads, spreads, veggies, meat & cheese. I had a Yukon Gold Potato Foccacia, Garlic & Cumin spread, grilled eggplant, caramelized onions and provolone cheese, I was very impressed.

I had a moccacino, my very first, it was excellent.

I then had a cornflake crusted french toast platter. The bread was super thick, and there were only 4 halves but I only managed to eat 2. I didn’t even use any syrup, it was that good.

I had 4 slices of bacon on the side, which were perfectly cooked, not burnt and not raw.

I also had a bowl of their home-fries with melted cheese on top. So oniony it tasted almost like french onion soup!

I ended up taking home the left over french toast and half the bowl of home-fries though :) They only lose points for how cold the room was, but it was a very cold day.

I had humous & pitas with a village salad. Everything was excellent! The atmosphere is a little romantic so going with friends feels off, but still I loved it. :)

The atmosphere & service was excellent, and the food was pretty good. They only loose a point for not having very many tables so my friends and I had to leave when they started filling up. :)

I’ve been here twice now, both times the food and service were excellent! I hope to one day get to sample some of their amazing looking desserts but I’ve been far too full! :)
