Great restaurant in the outer Richmond / Richmond area. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Food was pretty damn good too. We started with the Al Pastor Skewers and the slushee. Not usually a fan of al pastor or even a slushee, but both were good. For my main, I had the cheeseburger, which was also good — exactly the burger I wanted — nothing too pretentious and overly made up. My sig other ordered the grilled salmon — good for him, but the sauce was a little too spicy for him (fine for me). We wrapped with the chocolate chip cookie and was sooooo happy with it. If you’re looking for not a fussy meal, check out this place.

Ordered a burger which unfortunately came out fully raw on the inside (ordered medium rare), owner was gracious enough to give us another. The olives were very hard and not pitted which wasn't advertised on the menu and pretty disappointing. Chicken was very expensive for what you get. I really wanted to like it as the location and atmosphere is nice, but food was not what I expected.

They have outdoor dining that fills up pretty quickly so get here early! The wings were a good appetizer, cooked just right. My friend really enjoyed his meatloaf while my fried chicken was super juicy and breaded lightly. The service was also quick and friendly. My only complaint is that the cocktails were super tiny and even so, were not filled up all the way. I felt bad but I should have sent back two of the cocktails we got since they were barely half full (already tiny glass).

Great new restaurant in The Richmond for late night drinks and food. Really enjoyed finding this on the quieter end of Clement. We got lucky without a reservation this time, but the place was busy throughout the evening. The wings (no pic) were tender and really tasty, highly recommend them along with everything else we had. Staff were amazing, strongly recommend you take all of their dish/drinks tips!

They've succeeded in making a hip bar/restaurant in the Outer Richmond, but the service is lacking, the food is overpriced, and it's really cramped. We showed up on time for a 7:30 reservation and were in line to check in. Just as we were about to check in, a woman pushed past us and asked to be seated. The host stand is in a really unfortunate place, so perhaps she didn't notice that we were standing in line. We were seated right after, so it didn't seem like a big deal. BUT... after being seated, it took another 15-20 minutes for us to even be greeted by a waiter. It was so long, in fact, that the woman who'd cut us in line had already received appetizers by the time someone took our drink order. I had to get up and talk to the manager to get anyone's attention. The place is also really small, and it definitely feels like they packed in at least one too many tables. I'd suggest that they need another waiter for that many tables, but there's really no room. It's also loud. Granted, the loud, packed feel contributes to the "hip" feel of the place, but don't expect to be able to have an intimate conversation here. The food was fairly good. Oysters seemed fresh and well selected. Had an Impossible Burger (really glad they have this option, actually!) and shared a salad. For a half dozen oysters, one salad, two burgers, and no drinks: $90 after tax and tip. Not insane for SF, but definitely overpriced.
