The Richmond - San Francisco

Amazing food. It's a small operation so our food came out really slow...

Every year for the last several years we come here for our anniversary with other July couples. The food is spectacular. The chef serves us and is so kind. We love this place.

This restaurant is a real treasure! My friend and I felt pampered from the moment we arrived. We ordered the tasting plate and wine pairing. The wines were divine and the food was out of this world. We were expecting a nice experience but ended up blown away by an experience at an elevated level. Thank you John!

This was my first fine dining experience where you have a set menu. I was skeptical at first weather or not I would enjoy it but I could not have been more wrong. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary. We are not wealthy, and I've always been hesitant about going to fine dining restaurants in part because its not fun to be in a place and feel as if everyone around you is rich and you are the odd one out who can't distinguish between the various silverware. This was not the case here at all. The setting is private and intimate, so you are not packed in like sardines forced to engage in unwanted conversations with other guests. The chef serves his own food and he was very warm and welcoming and informative but casual. The fixed menu was great. The lamb dish was brilliant, and everything else was fantastic as well. He even threw in some excellent homemade bread which wasn't even part of the menu. I was also surprised that I left feeling full, I'm a bigger guy and can definitely go back for seconds but I left feeling satisfied. No forced themes or ambient music or pretentious minimalist modern artwork on the walls to make you feel insignificant. It truly seems the chef just does what he feels is best and does what he likes. I admire that and it's wonderful to see someone excel with such grace in their craft. Highly recommend.

Great quality food. Be prepared for a very reasonably priced fixed price menu. The dishes are creative and beautifully plated. Always have a great experience when we're here with great wine recommendations. Chef John is skilled and knowledgeable.
