I had a pleasant lunch at Spin A Yarn Steakhouse today! We ordered three burgers (8 oz Beef Burger), one filet mignon, angel pasta with pesto sauce, and a seafood linguine. The overall atmosphere of this place was quite vintage and old-timey, very traditional yet fancy. The lights were dimmed quite a lot, providing a cozy, intimate atmosphere here. The service was welcoming and very friendly! We were provided with bread and butter, and our server was very open to recommending us certain dishes. The food we ordered was average for a steakhouse, not bad but not worth really noting on. Portions were definitely generous, although the pasta tasted a little bland. I don't recommend the angel pasta that much. However, the filet mignon was alright. Mashed potatoes were creamy and the meat was perfectly tender and soft (we ordered medium rare). The burger is alright, although the patty was quite thick. The burger was meaty, but had a hint of sweetness. The food is quite alright, but the costs were overly expensive.

Sports bar atmosphere along with some cozy booth and table in the main area. The rack of lamb was very delicious. Prime rib was so so. The quality of meat could have been better. And the trim on the meat could be done better. Tiramisu and cheese cakes were delicious. And I a thought critique on desserts. Service was great!

We had an excellent meal at Saki's Spin a Yarn. It was our first time thanks to a gift card I received quite awhile ago. Finally got around to using it. Service was TOP NOTCH. Kevin greeted us and seated us right away. Brought us waters and bread before we ordered. He was playful, attentive and seemed to have our vibe down immediately. He offered me rice and potatoes - in case I didn't like the rice. Joked around with us and refilled as needed, checked in but wasn't overly involved. The food was delicious - surf & turf (New York steak and giant 4oz prawns) with mashed potatoes, green beans and even roasted garlic, a Prime Rib dinner with the same sides, and fresh caught halibut steak. All cooked to perfection. Desserts were yummy as well, particularly the chocolate mousse. We also tried tiramisu and cheesecake. This place is not cheap, but I think well worth the prices. We would definitely like to return - it is a bit of a drive for us, so it will be on a special occasion. Thank you specially to Keith for making it memorable!

This place is a true Steak House. You get that vibe right when you walk in. The owner greeted me as I walked to the bar area. Great service and everyone was friendly. Now the food.... It is exactly what you would except. First class hands down. I had the surf and turf and the blackened ceaser sald. It did not disappoint. Took 2 of my guys for lunch. I dropped $370 with tip. But we'll worth it. I'll be back to try their viel or lamb this week.

Ordered halibut and it was pretty good. This is a good place for steak, but if you don't want red meat, the choices are limited here. Awesome service and cozy atmosphere.

Had a pleasant experience at this place. The steak was beatifully cooked, but the meat quality fell a bit short for a prime grade. There is nothing special about the bread and butter. Wine selections are limited. Tiramisu tastes a bit cheap with the chocolate sauce on top. Overall, it was a good experience, but it was not worth the money paid.

First-time being here. Had a meeting with the big boss and a co-worker. I was the first one to arrive. I got seated, and the waiter was very welcoming. He told me to feel free to look over the menu while I waited for the rest of my party. When we all were together, the waiter recommended certain dishes which were delicious. Definitely coming back again.

We chose this place because of the Google reviews and they were dead on. My husband and I needed a nice night out and this was the perfect place. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet yet elegant. We came during the Christmas season and the decorations were beautiful. The wine list was good but the food was excellent. I had the prawns, risotto and my husband had the Caesar salad with blackened chicken.

This review is for the October 19th, 2024, event for the James Lick High School (1984-2024) 40-year reunion. SAY (Spin-A-Yarn) was a referral from a fellow graduate and previous client, David G. He assured us we wouldn't be disappointed. We weren't! SAY allowed for our theme decor set-up, DJ, and silent auction prizes. In addition, the staff worked with our headcount, menu, and last-minute changes. Saki is more than patient; he is accommodating. Without his generosity & flexibility, our celebration would have fallen short. Because of the SAY Banquet Team, our reunion was out of this GALAXY! The Reunion Committee: Kim, Amie. Tina, Pam, Leslie, and Rose. We would like to personally thank Saki and the entire banquet staff for their dedication and hard work: Elvia Ureno, Fily Ureno, Edgar Ureno, Jorge Pacheco, Sara (Bartender), Nya Noble, Angelo, Anwar Sohail We reached for the stars and captured the comet! Thank you, Spin-A-Yarn, for working with our guests, our team, and our craziness. You are truly wonderful.

What can I say- yes- and yes again. I have been very lucky lately . Get the rib eye - get the rib eye again. You will be happy you did. I've been getting good service lately. I'm truly lucky. The waiter was helpful and he was right on the money with the rib eye. I don't eat big cuts usually. But this time . I splurged and I'm in love. Marbled and very juicy- the veggies are crisp and fresh. I will be back

Although I've lived a large part of my life in Fremont, I've never been to Spin A Yarn Restaurant- until yesterday! Even with a big sign, it's somehow easy to miss. Regardless, they have a private parking lot that is quite spacious. Even on a busy Wednesday evening, I was able to find parking easily. The restaurant is very cute. It has that classic, low-key, homey feel to it. It's a little dark and chill, which is what I like. They were very busy last night but we were seated immediately. A nice table for two that was just the right size near the firewall area. Our server was very nice, attentive, fast and informative. She was able to answer all of our questions without any hesitation; she really knew her menu. The food was magnificent. I ordered the eggplant parmesan which comes with a side of mashed potatoes and veggies. It was a good portion size and filled me up without feeling heavy. The bread brought to the table when first seated was to die for. We had a couple of glasses of wine that we thoroughly enjoyed. The server comes back and refills your glass from a separate, smaller glass on the table. That was pretty cool. Overall, I had a great experience here. The service was good. The food was good. The Christmas decorations were excellent. They had the Warriors game playing at the bar, making it easy to peek every now and then to see how the game is going. Just a good time in general. I plan to be back soon and often!

It's crazy that I've watched this restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares (Gordon Ramsey's show) but haven't gotten to try it until now. TL;DR = The food is "okay". Service / Ambiance is great though. [[ Location / Restaurant ]] It's on the curve of Warm Spring's Blvd and the sign for the store is humongous so you cannot miss it. They have a large parking lot so parking shouldn't be an issue as well. The Restaurant itself was decorated very nicely for the holiday season and it was very lively inside. Lots of people at the bar enjoying themselves and everyone smiling and having a good time. I think there is definitely good vibes there if you choose to eat inside. Even though I was doing a to-go order, I thought everyone was very friendly and they made the process of picking up pleasant. [[ Food ]] As the TL;DR stated, the food is just alright. You can get variations of the same food at other restaurants that taste so much better. (E.g., House of Prime Rib has WAYY better prime rib than here). We ordered the following: 1.) Appetizers - Crab Cake 2.) Appetizer - Calamari 3.) Entree - Lamb Shank 4.) Entree - Prime Rib (market price) 5.) Sides - Mac & Cheese 6.) Sides - Garlic Fries The only thing I would order again here from all of the above is the Crab Cake. Even though you only get 1 Crab Cake for for $18, their Old Bay Mayo sauce for it and the actual Crab Cake itself was delicious. The rest, again, just tasted normal. The flavors were all there for each dish but there was nothing special about them and felt like it could have blended in at any other restaurant which is not great. You won't be disappointed by the food itself but nothing really stood out. The restaurant also tacks on a 4% state surcharge on your bill to keep up with the high COL. If you aren't a big fan of these "extra" charges, just giving you a heads up about it now. [[ Conclusion ]] Although I would love to give it a 5 star review for a local Fremont restaurant, I really think you can find better food elsewhere. If you are here for the good vibes and great service, I think this is a great place to go.

Walked in not sure of what to expect on a Saturday night. All the reviews were good. Would we be underdressed? We saw ladies with dresses and men with shirt and ties. I'm guessing there was a special event happening. Aside from that there were people outside. When we left we saw a bride in her wedding dress. Looks like a place for regulars and loyal customers. We were greeted by what may have been the manager or owner and quickly seated in one of the big cream colored high back booths. From then on it was bam bam boom. Drinks, food and everything else you would imagine for a top notch dining experience. Perusing the reviews I saw pics of a server everyone had commented about named Keith. It was great when he walked up to our table. I wanted to say to him. Did you know you were like Yelp famous? There was not one moment when the flow of things was out of sync. Everything we ordered came out rather quickly. All our selections were good. Bread and butter ++A - they gladly brought more when we got our food. The best ice tea that never went without a refill. Caeser salad was perfect. They split it for us Rigatoni was average for sauce flavor. Scalloped potatoes were nice. Surf and turf was plentiful and cooked to order. They included steak sauce and butter for the prawns that looked like small lobster tails. Dessert was great as well. Tiramisu and cheesecake. Plus coffee. At this point we were so stuffed. Boxed up half of my dinner plate to take home. While dining was quiet and private, it hit a point when music and live singing began. We enjoyed the eclectic variety of eras from Elvis to Santana and lots of other iconic music. It was a pleasant atmosphere for dinner and needless to say Keith was excellent. Service from a pro. We need more of this in the restaurant industry. The attention to details and bar he sets is high. Will we return? Yes!

This place is a gem! I've been here a few times with friends and always have a blast. The atmosphere is super fun and positive, the staff is warm and friendly, and the food is delicious. You have to try their pasta - the mushroom pasta is especially amazing. And don't even get me started on the desserts! The tiramisu and cheesecake are both to die for. Honestly, you'll leave with a happy heart and a full belly. They also have live music on weekends and host special events like Christmas and New Year's Eve parties, so be sure to check it out! Highly recommend

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant for a work event and was really excited because I'd had it bookmarked for quite some time. The inside is more spacious than it looks and there's plenty of parking behind the building. We had our own party/conference room and there was a set dinner menu for us to choose from. The room had its own tv and speakers so I assume they host a lot of events. -Ceasar salad: can't go wrong with this classic salad! -Short rib: amazing presentation and HUGE portion, the meat was so tender that it fell right off the bone, mashed potatoes were super buttery and creamy -Tiramisu: perfect ratio of ladyfingers to mascarpone cream, not too sweet There were several other items on the menu that looked good. Everything seemed pretty pricey though so it'll probably be for another special event next time I'm here!

Was in for a work trip and met a dear local friend here for dinner. We picked, due to location and reviews. We had a 6P Rez on a Thursday and it was not too busy which was nice for us in doing a ton of catch up. We had a lovely booth and received 5 star friendly service from Keith! We ordered the spin a yarn "prawns", prime rib dinner, mushroom pasta and coconut cream pie. The food was good/solid. They give you French bread, plenty of it... I will say the "prawns" did not seem like prawns given size, taste and texture but the sauce was good. The coconut cream pie was fantastic!

Yelp
The food is over priced and not great. We started with Crab Cakes which when done right are delicious. Spin A Yarn's left a lot to be desired. They were not good and something was off about the taste.. For our main we had the Prime Rib they claim to be "famous" for but it was rubbery and way over done. We were not at all happy with the food nor the prices.

Everything from the greeting to the bill Hostess was prompt in seating us and very polite Keith was a awesome waiter Extremely helpful with the menu Wife and I both ordered mai tai's And bar nailed it We started off with calamari and fried zucchini and bruschetta As it was our first time here we wanted to sample a bit of everything wife ordered Ceasar salad and crab cakes she was very pleased with it I ordered the filet mignon and it was perfectly cooked we decided to wrap things up with desert and got the tiramisu and coconut cream pie excellent excellent excellent Is all I can say going to be adding this place into the rotation of our favorites Oh and by the way live music was very pleasant

Saki's Spin A Yarn Restaurant is located on a main street, but it may be easily missed, even with that big signage. Plenty of private parking in their lot - there are a few parking spaces the front, but more on the side and in the back. Service was not bad, our waiter was friendly, but the service was a bit slow for being the only customers here at the time. My friends and I were looking for a spot to eat, we were literally driving past this place and remembered that they were featured on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. We decided to give them a try - we came on a weekday afternoon and were literally the only ones here with 1 additional group who came after us. My friends and I took advantage of their Early Bird Special menu, which is our choice of a starter, main course, and dessert from a set menu for about $35. My friends and I chose a few different choices and we shared. They chose a combo of Avgolemono Soup or Sweet Corn Chowder for the starter; New York Steak (served with mashed potatoes and veggies) or Pork Chop (served with apples and mashed potatoes) for the main course; and Cheesecake or Tiramisu for dessert. I chose the Salmon (served with rice pilaf and veggies), Avgolemono Soup, and Cheesecake. We agreed the Pork Chop was the best entree out of the 3 and the Avgolemono Soup was the best starter out of the 2. We were indifferent about the sides that came with our food, as it was a bit bland / dry. The other entrees were just alright / decent, a bit on dry, while the other soup was a bit on the saltier side. The desserts were decent, nothing that really wowed us. Although the service was a bit slow for a restaurant that was empty, we felt like our server was friendly and welcoming during our visit and even gave us recommendations. Overall, food was just decent, but we felt like their special was worth it to get to try a starter, main entree, and dessert for a set price. I would say the overall experience was 3 / 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 stars because of our server.

Lovely atmosphere with a Supper Club vibe. Our host seated us promptly and the waitress appeared within moments. The service was very nice and friendly. We didn't feel rushed at all to place our orders. My dining companions had the prime rib and the filet mignon which were cooked to their specifications. I had the seafood chowder and the bib lettuce salad, delicious!!! Prices were reasonable for the quality and service you received. A definite answer to where to go for a nice meal with good friends.

Had a celebratory lunch here on a weekday afternoon. For two people, we ordered the following -- * Shrimp Louie Salad * House Salad * Fried Calamari * Roasted Chicken Half (2 orders) * Fried Zucchini * French Fries Food was what you would expect in an American style restaurant. Presentation was not the best but I give credit for effort. The food lacked seasoning so we had to get creative to add salt, pepper - and request for a bunch of side dipping sauces. Restaurant is big so can hold large crowds if any special events or occasions are celebrated here. Increasing my review .5 stars as our server was really attentive. She was in training and still learning the trade but her sincerity did not go unnoticed.

Tanya S.

Yelp
Totally overrated and overpriced. Service was very friendly and extremely attentive, but the food (ribeye steak with mashed potatoes & veggie) was bland and overpriced - we were disappointed. On a Friday evening of a holiday weekend, it wasn't busy. A nice surprise was the musician with a keyboard singing live to current hits & oldies - that I thoroughly enjoyed.

We rented the covered back area for our Grandfather's 80th birthday. When we went to see the area we asked will it be warm enough? We were promised that the area would be nice and warm for the party. Boy were they wrong! It was lightly raining when we arrived and to our surprise the roof was leaking!!!!! We had people from out of state! We move people around and avoid the leaking roof. Embarrassing! In the agreement we were also offered access to the electronics. Day of the party, we were told they didn't have enough for our party. We had to rush home and grab our blue tooth speaker. Embarrassing! Then come time to leave we asked for the left overs. They brought out containers for us. 2 days later we get a charge on our card and the charge was MORE than what we signed for the night of!!! We called and they said because we took SOME of the left overs it went from $52/ plate to $57/plate!!! WHAT?!?! They should have told us! We called and spoke to Saki and he was nothing short of RUDE! I've had 3 separate company parties at this location and never had issues. My family and friends all go here! Not anymore! They should have been up front with us in the beginning and let us know that we would be charged extra and that we weren't going to get all the accommodations previously promised!

The prices are not consistent with the quality of the food and experience. The interior is very dated. The separate rooms are kind of strange, isolated from the rest of the space. I suppose these are for group gatherings. A mediocre restaurant.

Bad customer service. She's too rude to my family. My daughter just asking simple question, she answer with a high peak tone of voice. Which is not necessary.

We picked this restaurant based on the glowing Google reviews, and they truly were spot-on. My husband and I enjoyed a delightful evening here; it was exactly what we needed. The ambiance was serene and sophisticated, creating the perfect backdrop for our night out. We visited during the Christmas season, and the festive decorations added a charming touch. While the wine selection was impressive, the food stole the show. I savored the delicious prawns and risotto, while my husband enjoyed a flavorful Caesar salad with blackened chicken. We left with full hearts and stomachs, feeling grateful for such a wonderful experience. Thank you for making our night special!

A foolish decision, to eat at Spin a Yarn. We had heard good reviews so I decided to take my wife there for our anniversary, on a Thursday night. Unfortunately it was a bad choice - The noise is this tiny three room place was so loud we had to shout at each other to be heard. The hard walls and ceiling vibrated with guest chatter. - The older waiter was totally unprofessional. He had to be constantly reminded for spoons, napkins, water, meal and a special desert (which I ordered by phone in advance). We found him very rude and sloppy. As an example, when he brought a spoon or napkin, instead of professionally laying them on the table, he actually "tossed" them near our plate. Incredible. And the food? Sadly it was like the rest of the experience. Very average and certainly not worth the expensive price.

TWO VIAITS: Hubby wanted to go fro his birthday last week and this time we both got the steak sandwich, but hubby didn't add cheese this time. I brought some of mine home and enjoyed it leftover. They brought out a slice of cheesecake with candle on a decorated plate after the meal. We tried a bite and took it home (too full) and it was so delish! THIS WEEK: That Mac and cheese is so good (cheese pull!) BUT...Hubby loves fries so got some this time and said they we so good, plus, it was a big serving. We changed it up... 1) Hubby got chicken sandwich (and added cheese). It was HUGE.Plenty of chicken. He declared the sandwich FLAWLESS. 2) I got the French dip. I haven't had a decent one in ages, but I would declare my sandwich flawless too. I'm so glad I have leftovers! I stuck with the Mac n cheese

I've just heard some disturbing news from some dear friends who had a humiliating experience at the Spin A Yarn Restaurant. They are seniors with no family and were looking forward to at least having a nice Thanksgiving dinner together. They made reservations a week ahead for 5:00. When they arrived 10 minutes before 5:00 the hostess couldn't find their reservation. They were made to stand while the hostess continued to take people ahead of them. The hostess was rude and didn't particularly care to apologize or remedy the situation. She eventually said they could be seated outside on the patio. They are elderly and subject to colds so they opted to wait for an inside table. After waiting for a considerable amount of time, a man ( who may have been the owner or manager ) said he could seat them inside. As he walked them to a table he became verbally abusive in front of a dining room full of people. He told them he'd seat them but never come to his restaurant again as if it was their fault the reservation was lost. The Spin A Yarn staff acted in the most unprofessional manner in the treatment of a couple of seniors. I for one will NEVER EVER eat at the Spin A Yarn ever again and I will be sure to advise all my friends to do the same. SHAME ON THEM FOR THEIR TREATMENT OF SENIORS.

This establishment is a Fremont classic service is good along with the food. Tonight I had the linguine and clams and I have to say it wasn't that good, needs clam stock and garlic in the sauce.

I had no idea this restaurant was featured in Gordon Ramsay's TV show "Kitchen Nightmares" (season 5, episode 13) in 2012, until mentioned by coworkers during the team's dine-in here! Food = deliciously okay 3 stars Service = excellently 4 - 5 stars Price = high 4 - 5 stars Being that it's a steakhouse, I ordered my all-time FAVORITE mouth-watering juicy succulent PRIME RIB! Yummy Yum Yum!! Sadly, not as yummy as I thought. My Prime Rib was bland and a bit dry-ish (not juicy tender as anticipated). And no, I did not ordered it well-done, but medium-rare. The prime rib was of generous portion, but the Au Jus given was so little, not enough to accommodate the big generous portion (I should have asked for more Au Jus). As you can see, I love PRIME RIB!

My fault for not posting sooner, came here on a Tuesday night and reservation were made just the night before. It was one of my friend's late bday dinner and was our first time dining here. The parking lot gets full quick even for a Tuesday night. I was the first to arrive and the friends were stuck in traffic for a good 15 mins or so. They still seated me and gave me water. The dinning room was nice and cozy, lots of people enjoying dinner and drinks.The staff were also friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful time eating and drinking and never once felt rushed. We spent s good 2 hrs plus there and even received a complimentary dessert with our desserts when the waitress found out we were out celebrating a birthday. I also ordered the lamb racks to-go, unfortunately I forgot to take a picture but the husband enjoyed it. Super cute restaurant and I would love to come back and try something else.

Came here for a company dinner. The interior was absolutely gorgeous, there are private dining rooms, open dinner tables and a bar area. We were welcomed by the staff, and they came in to check if we needed anything pretty frequently. We started with some appetizers, I really like the spin a yarn shrimp with the butter sauce. For the main dish, I ordered the scallops, and it was so juicy and tender. Very tasty. We also tried the cheesecake and it was fine. The price for the appetizers was pretty high imo. But the scallops were good.

Yelp
The service was 10/10! You feel like you're being greeted by family! Very attentive staff and quick service. The ambiance is romantic. The establishment is well kept, clean, and the decor is fancy. They had someone playing live music/signing and they were also great. Nice touch-not too loud. Drinks were great! Made well. The bartender was professional and friendly! The food for the most part was good. The short rib was more on the chewy/tough side. BUT the flavor was great, portion was excellent, and had a lot of tender parts! I do not recommend the calamari or beef carpaccio. The calamari was too chewy/fishy. Not super crispy. Lacked flavor. The carpaccio lacked flavor and the beef didn't taste as fresh. Chicken ceaser salad was great, steak is excellent, so we're the fried zucchini (and the dipping sauce).

Saki's Spin-A-Yarn Restaurant is a fabulous spot to host a party. They have a variety of party venues to choose from including banquet rooms and an indoor/outdoor patio. For my event, I selected their indoor/outdoor patio which was perfect for my Coats and Cocktail-themed celebration. The indoor/outdoor was decorated beautifully with lights and decor. There were heaters, a television for sports games, and bar. We were able to have a DJ and dance floor along with delicious hors d'oeuvres. The staff were so friendly and added to all the fun. I would highly recommend Saki's Spin A Yard for cocktail hour at their bar, a lunch or dinner in their restaurant, and a party in their banquet rooms or indoor/outdoor patio. Thank you to the owners and staff for making my time there a wonderful experience.

Spin is one of my favorite places to come after work; there's always great food, great drinks and great company. The restaurant is easy to access, right off of 880 on Fremont Boulevard and there's plenty of parking. I have sat in the bar area, the outdoor patio and the dining rooms and all spots are great (though the bar area is definitely the most entertaining). The restaurant frequently has live music, and if there isn't a band playing, the restaurant music is always great, too. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is run very well. Drinks are fantastic, and the food is just as impressive. I've had everything on the menu at this point, and my favorites are the Caesar Salad with Salmon, the Pork Chop, the Filet Mignon, the Crab Cake, and the Mac and Cheese is always a great addition if you want a side dish. Ask your waiter if there are any specials and what the soup of the day is - I love their Clam Chowder and their long-running Surf and Turf special is so yummy. Their dishes are relatively large, so I always end up with a to-go box of food to enjoy the next day. Saki's is an awesome spot to celebrate any occasion (I've even seen weddings being held there) or just to come after work for a good meal and a fun time. No reservation required, but it does get a little busy on the weekends.

The food was great! Appetizers: - Fried Zucchini & calamari were yummy - Wings & drumsticks were salty Soup of the day: - Tasted like chicken rice porridge but zesty Main course: - Filet Mignon, suuuper soft & juicy but plain - Ribeye, ginormous! much more flavor & I liked this one much more than my filet mignon Dessert: - Cheesecake, came with the sweetest berries. cake was also on the sweeter side but the staff offered coffee which balanced out the sweetness. perfect combo Parking: - packed for a Wednesday lunch! - two paths to park & they don't loop so it is very inconvenient - the right path extends further but the parking sits closer to the wired fence & you have to park at a 45 angle to avoid hitting the fence - I tapped the fence a few times to avoid hitting the car parking besides me - a bald white man started recording me and I gave him the bird lol

I wholeheartedly echo the sentiments of previous reviewers. The wait staff demonstrated exceptional kindness throughout our six-hour party. However, a series of unfortunate events unfolded, starting with removing food from the containers on the dance floor two hours into the celebration. While we had explicitly stated our intention to provide food for our 90 guests throughout the event, the wait staff Proceeded to discard the remaining food, leaving many of our late-arriving guests without access to the buffet. We were met with astounding rudeness and disrespect when this issue was brought to the manager's attention. His inability to handle conflict resolution situations professionally was evident as he resorted to belittling and degrading his paying customers. It is unacceptable for a manager to fail to acknowledge the most basic customer service expectations, primarily when a substantial sum of money is invested in their venue. Furthermore, the staff neglected to remove the food containers from the dance floor, causing water to spill onto the floor next to the food tables. This oversight led to one of my guests suffering a severe fall and injuring herself. In addition to these mishaps, the booking process was marred by inadequate communication regarding additional bar and food services charges. We were not informed of two additional charges for the staff and the bar until we received the final receipt. When I requested a meeting with the owner to discuss these issues, I was again confronted with rudeness, disrespect, and a blatant lack of willingness to engage in a constructive conversation. The owner's behavior was unbecoming, especially considering our substantial investment of over $8,000 in their business. In light of these experiences, we will not be returning to this facility and will advise our guests to do the same.

This was our first time here and it was a wonderful experience! My husband and I came for our 15 year anniversary. It was a nice and quiet atmosphere and very clean. Our server was wonderful and friendly and very attentive! Service was prompt and our food was served quickly. We ordered calamari as an appetizer and it was delicious... seasoned very well and crispy! Our steaks were cooked perfectly as we requested and seasoned very well! All of our food was very good and staff friendly! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family! Overall a great place to celebrate special occasions and family dinners!

I went with a couple friends. very good food, exceptional personalized service. It seems they have several serving rooms; and we felt we were in a private one ourselves.

Unfortunately, I will never patronize this establishment again. I happened to see this place on my drive back home from a Costco in Fremont, even though I live on the other side of the Bay. Talked my family into going to what seemed like an old style steakhouse (which there are too few of now-a-days). And I love me a good steak.... After making reservations, we got to the establishment at 6pm on Saturday a few days before Valentine's Day (sort of like an early valentines day dinner for us all). We were seated in a booth in the bar area, a bit loud, but in the corner and away from others. Server was awesome the whole night (and we gave him a really good tip for his service). Water was filled promptly, extras like salad dressing on the side and extra bread were delivered quickly. Not a beat missed. We started with a house salad, two cups of the Greek Avgolemono soup, and Spin a Yarn Prawns, Sautéed in Garlic, Lemon and Butter in a Spicy Sauce. Everything was great here and very tasty. We then went on to the entrees. We had Heirloom Tomato Salad with Burrata Cheese, Basil Oil, Balsamic, Croutons. The 12 oz Filet which was cooked medium and tasted great even with a side of tasty sauce, vegetables and mashed potatoes. And also the Cioppino, which had Salmon, Halibut, Clams, Mussels Calamari (a little heavy on the Calamari, but that was okay), and Shrimp in a light broth. We were more than halfway through the meal, listening to the one-man band warm up on his guitar (he was definitely good) when we saw what looked like the manager (who was taking pictures and video of the bar and the guitarist) walking around in a "Let's Go Brandon" T-shirt. We hadn't seen or noticed this on our way in, or up until this point in the meal. Now, for us this sort of turned the whole night around. After spending a significant amount on drinks and dinner, and otherwise having a good time with a good meal and great service, to see a member of the staff with a political shirt (one of which we don't agree with) wearing it while working soured the mood. Now, if she hadn't been wearing the shirt and didn't flaunt her political views in front of us that would have been great. No one would have been any the wiser, and we would have gone on with our evening without knowing anyone's political bent, and not thinking about it. We decided to let the gentleman (who seemed to be the owner) on our way out know that maybe it would be great if staff didn't wear political shirts while working and promoting the establishment. We started our conversation by letting him know that the food, service and music were great, but when we started to voice our concern about staff wearing political views, well, things took a turn. We found out that he believes that anyone can voice their opinion and wear what they want to wear or be what they want to be, which we happen to agree with. He then stated that he was not going to fire the manager because of what she was wearing (which we didn't even suggest). I reiterated that it would be great if it wasn't apparent that there was any politics in a restaurant where we were eating and having a good time, that that would be awesome. He came back with the comment that he's a staunch conservative, and loves Donald Trump. At that point we decided that the conversation was over, and turned to leave. He punctuated the conversation by telling me that I was welcome to borrow his manager's shirt anytime I wanted. Pretty much sternly telling me that he didn't care about my business, now, or in the future. So, we will never be going back. Too bad the whole night turned because someone decided to wear a stupid t-shirt.

I have been to this place probably 10+ times. If you had initially asked me what you thought, based on my first four visits, I would have told you absolutely stunning. That included the food and atmosphere. Then after I kept coming back, things changed. The bartenders (Sarah and the guy I forget his name) are amazing, talkative, and attentive. The patrons at the bar, if you are a female by yourself, can be super aggressive and completely overbearing. Enough where it not only makes me uncomfortable but also the staff. It seems this is a local bar/restaurant, so maybe the patrons feel they can do what they want. The food is always consistently inconsistent, which you think for the premium it would be way more consistent than it is. The filet seems like they have difficulty getting it cooked to medium. The free-range roasted chicken was not grilled or roasted, but at the very least pan seared in oil, which kept me from being slightly healthy. The tiramisu was complete garbage. I have had better grocery store ones. The outside of the tiramisu, all the way around, was stale/hard bread and completely tasteless. do not know how anyone could write the reviews that are listed saying this is the best they have ever had. The berry dessert, on the other hand, was a complete home run. Maybe it is the season, or maybe it is the cold weather. I am sure I will give them a shot in the future, and hopefully, they can get their consistency back that had me fall in love with them, as well as the quality of the food too.

The server was good but the food was horrible. The 24oz steak was a waste of money. It was not seasoned and it was chewy. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The ambiance was ok, needs to be remodeled.

Pretty tasty. Didn't expect to see so many people during weekday lunch, probably because it is the only choice in the area for business lunch
