great view, excellent service, but pricy
i went here w/my boyfriend last friday & it was great. the view of the golden gate & the bay was very nice, though i would recommend going earlier (5pm) to see both the day view & the night view. i had the lobster bisque to start & that was excellent & my bf had the trio of soups. they made an error of not bringing out our 2nd course & went straight to the entree but as soon as we let them know, they were extremely apologetic & fixed the problem. our waiter even told us he would not charge us for it. the filet mignon & the lamb were both excellent. the 2nd course (which came during our entree) - the prawns- was not as good as everything else i tasted there. perhaps we were full already by then & couldnt enjoy it? we had the gelato & dessert wine to close & both were delicious. overall, it was a great dining experience. the small restaurant is very cozy, feel free to dress up or down. the service is beyond excellent. even though both my bf & i looked relatively young, the waiter did not give us attitude & treated us just as well as any other older wealthier patrons. our meal came out to be $150 (including a bottle of $36 wine) & we left a $50 tip since he didnt charge us for the prawns. my only recommendation is to definitely ask for a window table when making reservations for this place. we didnt get a window table upon arrival even though i had requested one the day before, but they moved us after our 1st course when someone left. very good place to impress a date or celebrate an anniversary, but be prepared to spend quite a bit. =)
