On a whim, my family opted to dine here on the night of the Super Bowl; and, in true American fashion, the restaurant was barren with many would-be patrons busy spectating one of the biggest nights of gridiron football at home. After getting pretty much immediately seated, our waitress kindly took our orders and offered us still water for the table.
The appetizers (Caesar salad and burrata) arrived pretty quickly. The Caesar salad, while pedestrian, was still good and delightfully yet mildly fishy with the anchovy dressing. The burrata was a measly portion, given the whopping $20 price tag, but, the candied kumquats and citrus slices that adorned the sides still paired nicely with the creamy cheese.
For our entrees, we ordered the decadent Wagyu ribeye, a lasagna, and a blue cheese pizza. My gripe with the steak is that the bordelaise sauce drowned out the sumptuous, tender piece of meat, overwhelming an already rich cut with unnecessary flavor. Not a fan. The pizza was good but simply cannot contend with the abundance of great Bay Area pizzerias. I appreciated the heap of arugula that sat atop though. And, lastly, the lasagna was just okay but too mushy to see any discernible layers.
Honestly, I probably won't return. The establishment touts an Opentable Diner's Choice award as well as a fairly high Yelp rating, but I'm not sure if I can attest to the accolades. The service was great though. We did joke that one waiter, rendered purposeless by the Superbowl-inflicted lack of customers, filled our waters every two minutes.
