good eats and happy times in hayes valley
the fish is fresh and wonderfully prepared, the menu is seasonal, colorful, but never over the top. Peekytoe crab cakes with flawless french fries. Grilled sole. Fennel sausage homemade. Symphony, theater, and opera goers will delight in the obliging, efficient, and informed service. If more than one course makes it hard for you to stay awake, definitely have your one course here. And plan to come back for a more leisurely dinner. Atmosphere: Comfortable (busy but the tables aren't too close together, and it's not too loud). Convivial, well-lit, urbane. Nice selection of wines by the glass.
