This is one of my favorite restaurants in SF. Amazing appetizers, rolls and desserts. Fois gras parfait, tako taco, wagyu rolls, and brothers were the best of the bests. Staff was super friendly, and you can enjoy amazing view of the bay bridge during the sunsets. It is also great for large groups. Easily accessible from downtown SF.

Have been here a few times now and the food is always good. Add that to an amazing view of the bridge with its light display and you have a sparkly evening in the making. Last weekend I had the San Francisco roll which included crab meat and was not bad. Pork belly appetizer was also excellent but I can never get enough of those little meat guys. Three little pieces is just a tease when you are sharing. Yum. Til next time.

A great restaurant with a great view! Large windows with breathtaking views of the Bay Bridge. The food itself was absolutely delicious, however it is a bit pricey and the portions aren't huge. I'd love to try the sushi here sometime, but it's pricey. Dessert - don't skip it. So good! A decent option for a date where you want to splurge a little.

Came here for my birthday with a group of friends. The ambiance is nice-- definitely a chic place with a beautiful view of the bridge. This spot is perfect for date nights and happy hour. I'd say the food is pretty good, but nothing too great. The restaurant is a little overpriced since you're really paying for the atmosphere and location.

I was very impressed with the food and the service. We ordered a wide selection of sushi rolls, appetizers, and entrees, and all were quite tasty. The rib-eye steak was perfectly done as ordered -- between medium-rare and rare. Very nicely done. Half-price wine bottles on Sunday nights! Wide selection. The half-bottle of Sancerre was excellent. We will be returning soon!

Even though we had reservations at 8:30, we came around 8 and were told we wouldn't get seated until our time (understandable, but worth giving a shot to see if we could eat earlier). Since we were starving, we opted to just sit at a table in the bar. For appetizers we got the edamame, calamari, and garlic fries. Eh, okay. Just tasted ordinary. I got the duck medium (as recommended by the chef), and my two friends got the lamb and salmon. I found the duck to be way too chewy and tough. The flavors were fine, but a bit on the sweet side for me. They came with what seemed little croquettes filled with pork (could be wrong) but I wish I was told that there would be pork in my dish before ordering (since I don't eat it). My friend loved his lamb shank and wiped his plate clean. My other friend enjoyed the salmon, but thought the dish was a bit too rich for his tastes. The chocolate bread pudding was delicious! Service was nice, but very slow. Overall, I found it to be too pricey for what you get.

My wife and I and a friend were really looking forward to eating at this restaurant. The food was really good the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice but the server that we had was really very bad at the end of our meal. The server kept on coming to our table asking if we were done eventually she pushed us to leave. Now this was on a Sunday evening and the restaurant didn’t have anyone waiting to get a table that I could see. We're spending over $175 on our meals I didn't expect this type of treatment. This unraveled all of the enjoyment of our restaurant experience.

This place had the freshest sushi and sashimi I've had in along time. The place was not as spectacularly fancy that I would have expected but still a nicely decorated place with a view of the bride from the front of the restaurant. There are only a couple of tables that are directly next to the window so you need to reserve or go early to get those tables. Service was excellent and food was good. We went there for our anniversary and they gave us a dessert on the house as well with "Happy Anniversary" written on the plates. I only mentioned it in our reservation so it was thoughtful of them to keep hat in mind. It's a bit pricy to get full but worth it if you want to indulge once in a while.
