Sunday morning came in San Francisco and Eusebio and I woke up without the beating drums and rhythmic chanting of the labor strike going on at our hotel. I'm pretty sure they just took Sunday off. We felt surprisingly well considering our drunken escapades the night before at the Awards Dinner. Good times were had by all.
Foodbuzz set up a farewell brunch for the festival attendees at Restaurant LuLu courtesy of Nature's Pride, Frog Hollow Farm, Kerry Gold, and Skyy Spirits. Skyy had a build-your-own bloody mary bar as well as all the vodka we could drink for other various cocktails. I decided to start my day with a screwdriver in order to use a little "hair of the dog" to fight off the slight lingering hangover that I was suffering from.

After the lines died down for the brunch buffet Eusebio and I got up to serve ourselves. Restaurant LuLu did an amazing job working with the breads, pears, and butters that were provided by the sponsors. Everything tasted great and looking at the pictures below makes me want to go back and eat it again!
Foodbuzz Farewell Brunch Plate #1 at Restaurant LuLu
I'll start with the bacon and move clockwise around the plate from there. Bacon is the candy of all meats and I was happy to enjoy several slices of the thick cut, crispy swine on Sunday morning. Next we have the nutty oak french toast with pear compote and whipped cinnamon butter which was absolutely amazing. Moving on there is a frittata with aged cheddar, whiskey, and wild mushrooms. It was very similar to a quiche or omelet in that its main ingredient was eggs and everything else made it taste so good! The frittata is followed by a couple crouque monsieurs with smoked ham, swiss, and truffle mustard on whole wheat bread. They were nice, but not good enough to go back for more. Finally we have a pear and bleu cheese salad that added a little roughage to the brunch in a very good way.
Foodbuzz Farewell Brunch Plate #2 at Restaurant LuLu
You can tell what I enjoyed the most by looking at what I went back for in round two! The french toast with pear compote and cinnamon butter was fantastic. I really wanted another wedge of the frittata with cheddar, mushrooms, and whiskey because it tickled my fancy as well. And of course, how could I not get more bacon?
After we said our goodbyes and bid adieu to our festival friends, Eusebio and I decided to make one more San Francisco stop before calling our tour complete. No matter how full we were from the brunch, we knew that there is always room for ice cream! Back to the Mission district we went so that we could visit the Bi-Rite Creamery which we had heard a lot about.
What I remember:
1) Loud.
2) Food cooked in Brick Wood Burning Fire Stove. gives it a nice flavor. Love the Iron Skillet Roasted Mussels with Drawn Butter + Grilled Figs Wrapped in House Made Pancetta + Oak Fired Rotisserie Rosemary Scented Chicken. Check out the full menu @ http://www.restaurantl...
3) Really Loud.
4) Nice Ceilings.
5) Good Service
6) Really Really Loud.
7) About $50 -$100 per person depending on what you order. Check out the menu @ http://www.restaurantl...
When it is "Dine Around Town" time in SF again, check if they are on the list. The prefix menu is worth it. Would I drive to them from the east / south bay? No. If I am in the city and in the area that night, yes.
PS - The food is family style and the place feels a bit touristy / trendy.
I hadn't been to Restaurant LuLu in over 7 years, even though I live nearby... But it was a Monday night, and we wanted to grab dinner, and our usual goto places were closed. So LuLu.
And afterwards, I remembered why I hadn't been there in so long.
Yug.
It was completely mediocre.
My friend got the steak for two for one. Normally, he and I gab all throughout dinner, catching up, sharing stories, talking and laughing. Monday, however, there were large, long pauses in the conversation, because the meat that he had was so tough, he had to chew it and chew it and chew it and chew it and chew it.....
It was comic.
And a bad sign with regards to the food.
Note to self (which I am sure I will forget 7 years from now): don't go to Restaurant LuLu --- even if it is a Monday.
We ended up at Lulu b/c our original destination, Le Charm, was sadly closed for a private party. So we meandered over to Lulu. We waited longer than what I consider acceptable to be greeted by the host. Despite lots of empty-looking tables on the main floor, we were then led to a table in their overflow room, which was empty and felt strange and unfriendly. So we backpedaled and asked to be seated at the bar.
Turned out to be a good decision for two friends looking for a nice meal and catching up. The dining rooms, filled with corporate types in button-down shirts, are cavernous, and I imagine that contributes to the "loud, loud, and loud" review posted earlier. But the bar is cozy and the bartenders are solicitous and helpful. Me and my dining partner both ordered the white wine flight, which is good deal, something like $12.75 for four 2-oz pours of nice wine.
On to the food: iron-skillet roasted mussels were very good, but lacking the delicious pan juices that come from steamed mussels. A salad with paper-thin ribbons of zucchini and persimmons was inventive and truly lick-the-plate-clean delicious. The rosemary roasted chicken was the perfect size for two. It was well-cooked and tasty and served w/green salad and potatoes, a good deal at $20.
A blackberry clafoutis (rhymes with Tofutti) dessert was a bit too eggy for me, but my dining partner enjoyed it.
Not bad for a last-minute, fallback dinner choice.
Had a quickie happy hour with a friend here on Friday night. I loved the variety of wines by the glass and that you had your choice of 2 oz, 6 oz, or 9 oz pours. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. We split the wild mushroom pizza. It was tasty but a bit dry.
It's interesting to see how Lulu still keeps it relatively packed in, even way past it's prime. Most "locals" I know consider this place a tourist attraction, and during conventions and on weekends it is. That's a good and bad thing, I suppose, but I'm just happy to see them still surviving.
My colleague and I decided to stop in, uncharacteristically, during happy hour, when the place was relatively empty. It's a very open space, almost like a warehouse, so you really can feel it when the place is hopping. Or not. We sat at the bar (ask for Michael!) and were happy to find out that during the early hours, drinks were half priced. Wow, that could get loud!
The menu is a bit overpriced, but that doesn't mean the food isn't good (and at happy hour, you're saving on those drinks!). Their rosemary rotisserie chicken is legendary, and probably deserves its accolades. If you sit at the bar, there are enough small plates (iron skillet roasted mussels, grilled figs wrapped in pancetta) to split, and their pizzas (around $17 each) are surprisingly good, with just the right burnt crust to cheese ratio.
Oh random story: I have a friend who is a pilot for Lufthansa and every time he does the longhaul to SFO, he insists on going here. As a result, I've been to Lulu a bunch of times and there's something endearing in the fact that he considers the place a bit of familiarity when he travels away from his own home. Hi Marcus, if you're reading!
LuLu used to be the bee's knees back in the dot com days, eternally packed in the restaurant and at… Read more »
The best SOMA food!
Excellent service, knowledgable staff.
Been coming here since the begining and they haven't missed a trick in nearly 20 years.
Good on ya LULU !!!!!!
Found parking 10 steps from the front door so it was off to a good start to hang with friends for dinner. We had a huge table but I was pretty blown away at how slow the service was. It felt a little TOO long to wait since I must've nipped away several pieces of bread while waiting.
The pizza is good but nothing was ground breaking. It's an average place not worth the 40-50 minute travel for me.
I'm surprised by how almost every review is about this place being really good or really bad.
I've been there once for lunch and the food and service were both great. I had the mushroom pizza. It was amazing.
Perhaps it's best to avoid this place when it's busy. When I went it was slow and I had a wonderful experience.
Great place for business lunch - the food here is delicious. The service is good and the atmosphere is positive and inviting. Give it a shot!
I always come here with friends or the husband just for the mussels and drinks - FABULOUS! The food is pretty good and they have a nice dessert selection. Overall, I am a fan of the mussels! The service is also very good.
The space is great - I like the large open layout and the view into the kitchen. But, the food falls short, and there are a few quirks that bugged me.
I order a martini at the bar, and the bartender asks me what kind. I was puzzled, but slightly pleased. Puzzled, because I was assuming that, without any other direction from me, he'd just give me the standard gin & vermouth. But, slightly pleased, since he was using the question to verify that I wanted a real martini and to offer me the choice of gin. So, when I answered "Hendricks" and got a confused look on his face, I was worried. He took it that I just wanted Hendricks, straight up.
So, for the food. They serve it family style, which is kind of fun sometimes. But, if you want your own dish, I think they should accommodate that. Just because Obama is president doesn't mean we're all communists now. Whatever. The food was average - not that flavorful.
I may come back, but it's not going to be a destination.
So I recently went to Lulu's for my Birthday and around the table we were all pretty unimpressed. The food was overpriced as is alot of restaurants in the SOMA tend to be and none of it really worked all that well. My mother had a prawn entree with a motley assortment of beans that looked like they escaped from some sailors kidney bean soup. My stepfather ordered the duck special, it being a Saturday night, and a pleasant looking duck carcass came to the table but without the sauce the thing would have been inedible due to a serious lacking in the moisture department.
Honestly though if it were another place at another price point Lulus could get a better rating but charging more than 25 dollars an entree for what they gave was pretty rough.
And- our service was pretty poor. It was like they crossed a suburban strip mall waitress(if they have those kinds of things there) with a mmmm I dont know what with- just something lacking personality. Lets say that. To cap it all of when informing the waitress on the side that it was my birthday- expecting some kind of delectable on the house the waitress told my mother that they do not do that sort of thing even though this practice had been confirmed ahead of time. A faux pas for sure!
The service thing really irks me because there are so so many people trying to get jobs in this country in this state and especially in this city. Wait staff are extremely replaceable. You would think that they would bust their ass a little more, yeah?
Lulu's is like a warm, dependable friend. Rustic refinement.
p.s. They're really set on the "family style" of it all - even if it means bringing three halibuts on a two-foot platter lined with corn relish.
The ambiance is weekday sexy - with an open kitchen and wood burning oven that you can smell down the block.
The restaurant boasts of their rotisserie chicken, pork tenderloin, the halibut, their pizzas, and weekday specials that include rabbit.
I've taken clients here a few times for it's charm. I've taken myself here knowing I'm going to leave with that happy-belly feeling.
HINT: ORDER DESSERT! The pistachio sorbet and there's another amazing fancy-named desert that's like flan with berries, but made with yummy cream. It's delightful.
My compliments to Lulu. She knows what I like.
I have been to Lu Lu many times over the past 10 years, and have to say that things have gone down hill somewhat. Took a couple folks to lunch.The place was dead at 12:30 on a Thursday! I almost backed out.But said to myself" no , see this one thru"... kind of a mistake.
Their Pizza is still pretty solid but we had some ravioli that was just not right in the sauce, my chicken sandwich was very average,the waiter was kind of doting and slow to get it.
Wine list is still OK- we probably should have stuck with the rotisserie items or the wood fired specialties I remember from past visits.
The haunting thing was how few customers were there. In such a large space , you feel it when it is empty. I always remember this as being such a bustling place. I am sure the economy is not helping. I think they could tighten up the service and the food a bit though.
The food, service, and ambiance was excellent!
I highly recommend their margarita pizza. Its some of the best I've had! Great fresh ingredients, sweet tomatoes and perfectly done crust.
The figs with procuitto are really great too.
The sevice people were very attentive and they didn't rush us.
Well worth it!!!
A real disappointment.
I remember hearing from a few people that I should check this place out. Provincial French sounded promising: I love rustic flavors. The place specializes in rotisserie: seemed interesting. Been there a few times, and the food was nothing memorable. The thing I remember the most is their rotisserie chicken that was both flavorless and pretty dry.
The service was horrid on many occasions: probably partly due to the vastness of the space. Their have been many times where my server would disappear for extended periods of time. Usually there would be a lot of empty glasses and dishes on the table for quite some time. They really have to improve the service first and foremost.
Two things that I think really work for the place is the decor and their wine selection. The decor is phenomenal. The restaurant occupies this large open space, and these large rotisserie brick ovens in the back. One of the first things I noticed was the great arched ceilings. Warm lighting really fits the rustic French feel they were going for. The bar and wine cellars have a really slick look. They have a large wine selection: racks of bottles on this Wall of Wine. I remember really enjoyed every wine I have ever gotten there. Usually the wine was much more memorable than the food was.
If you're in the area, you should probably just go to Oola (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) next door.
I was pleasantly surprised to be emailed by the executive chef shortly after this post and his nice email has encouraged me to give Lulu's another shot. I look forward to it.
My boyfriend lives across the street so we frequent this restaurant often out of convenience, but I… Read more »
This used to be one of my favorite SF restaurants ever. But that was 10 years ago and things change.
It's still really good and has the world's best iron-skillet mussels, cooked in the wood-fired oven.
I miss the old wait staff (replaced by a look-alike troop from some far away land), the old bartenders, and the masterful touch that the old chefs put on every dish.
Went to dinner with staff from work and out of town. The restaurant has a very loud, casual atmosphere. Not good for intimate conversation, but relaxing after work is nice place to meet up.
I recommend ordering a flight. They have an outstanding wine list, but flight is the way to go. I ordered the white and enjoyed. Very nice transition from glass to glass, and well worth the price.
Ordered the bowl of spring lettuce and heirloom tomatoes with fresh mozzarella. Not exciting, not bad either. I like the heirlooms to be varied in color, just looked and tasted like a typical tomato/mozz starter.
Ordered to each share -pork loin, roasted chicken, halibut and hot meatball pizza. Pork was OK, potatoes too soft and almost runny. Roast chicken was very good. Halibut was excellent, nice and moist not dried out. Pizza was OK, loved the crust, meatballs OK, sauce just needed some extra punch to overcome the wood smoke of the crust.
Lulu has been around for nearly 18 years and remainings a popular dining spot, even if the menu has not evolved much over that time. The flagship of former executive chef/owner Jody Denton's restaurant group, this brasserie-style eatery features a spacious, yet warm, dining space dominated by the open kitchen and wood burning oven. It's the comforting aromas from the oven that draws you in when entering the restaurant. Just about anything that comes out of that magical oven is great: roast chicken, lamb or pizza, especially the mushroom pizza. One of the finest I've ever had. The cassoulet, only available occasionally, is deeply satisfying, as it should be.
While the wine list is strong, what is particularly good (and sadly rare) is the amazing list of wines by the glass with over 70 selections.
I hear LuLu was a classic of the dot-com days (and even earlier). Indeed, Pat Unterman once called it "the most exciting restaurant in the Bay Area". Though it also seems to have built a reputation for overcrowding and bad service over the years. But seeing as we came here for a Monday lunch in the pouring rain, and were, at least for a time, literally the only people in the restaurant (and mind you, it's a cavernous space), I can't really complain about the latter.
We split a prix fixe of butternut squash soup (I've had better), barbecue chicken sandwich (now we're talking--must be the work of that famous fireplace), and chocolate mousse (once again, I've had better). So I dig the flame-cooked food idea, but I'm not sold yet. In the meantime, I'll have to check out the other trendy, 4-letter restaurants on the block, Azie and Oola.
I've passed by this place several times on my way to Oola (just a couple doors down) and always wondered what it was like. I was fortunate to be invited to a birthday dinner here the other night and finally found what Lulu's is all about.
First of all, you walk in and it's a big, open space. I really liked that. They have a fireplace in back and the colors and decor evoke a very comfortable vibe. Kind of like a ski lodge to me...so yay for atmosphere.
We were seated at our table and our waitress was very prompt and sweet. We ended up waiting almost an hour for our full party to get there and she never once seemed annoyed about it. They have a pretty decent wine and cocktail list and from listening around the table, everyone enjoyed what they ordered.
Their food is meant to be family style - mostly large plates you would share with the table. However, we all just decided to each order a dish and go for it. The pizzas were huge...definitely something you'd want to share unless you had a healthy appetite. I ordered a goat cheese ravioli though, and while I didn't finish it all, I wouldn't say it was really large enough to share except for maybe a couple people. That being said, everyone seemed to enjoy their food.
I think this is a great place to go with a group because they have the capability to seat a decent amount of people together but you could just as easily come here on a date or with a couple friends. I've noticed a lot of people comment on the cost of the food here and to be honest, I didn't feel like it was too expensive for what you got. There are definitely more expensive places out there and for this type of restaurant, I think it's on par with others in the city. Just know that this isn't just a place to pick up a quick bite to eat...I'd say a great place to go to celebrate something or have a special dinner out.
Blah!
Terrible service and a simply horrible experience for a vegetarian. No thanks.
Ordered the roasted portobello with polenta--and got flavorless portobello's (which is so wrong!) swimming in a pool of mush.....
Lulu has gone downhill since the last time I stopped in. We came in this past Tuesday, Feb 26.
First of all, the bread they served us was underbaked. You know those bread loafs you can buy at Trader Joes that are pale & slightly underbaked, and then you pop them in the oven for 15 minutes when you get home to crisp it? Yea, well...Lulu was serving bread that was as underbaked as those loafs -pre baked- are.
Secondly, we ordered the basic baby green salad, which was pretty well dressed, but other than that it consisted of nothing besides baby greens, a vinagrette and large chunks of that same underbaked bread. They didn't even bother to toss in some croutons- just straight up cubed bread. I would have been able to let this slide because the salad did taste alright, but it was 9 motherf'ing dollars. For that much, there should have been some nuts, maybe a little cheese? Some actual croutons? Rip off.
Third, the bacon and leek tart came out cold, and it was waaay under par from what we received the last time dining at Lulu. I could get better frozen quiche at the supermarket.
Time to tighten the reigns, Lulu...because things are heading downhill as of now, in my experience.
To be completely honest-I've been avoiding going to Lulu for almost 2 years now. Its directly… Read more »
This has become a staple for me when I stay around the moscone center.
The service is pretty slow, so if you're here on a timetable ask for the check as soon as the food comes if you know your not ordering more drinks or dessert.
They have a decent amount of food choices and their pizza is tasty if you can't decide or despise California cuisine style food.
I've eaten here twice for dinner and while the food isn't amazingly memorable, I remember enjoying it and thinking that it tastes rustic and homemade (if one was a good cook!). The last time I came here was 2 years ago so I can't vouch for the quality of the food or service as of late.
However, when we were last here, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable meal. I really appreciated the manager who came by and helped make a great and memorable meal for us.
Last night, we went to Lulu for dinner before we were off to see Wicked at the Orpheum. I am amazed that we have lived here more than ten years and we have never been to Lulu before.
We had reservations on Open Table for the Dine About Town special. In my reservation, I mentioned my husband was a vegetarian and they were prepared. There are a lot of vegetarian choices!
We started with the appetizer special and it was fantastic. I ordered a couple of tastes of wine to try with the cheese, olive tapenade and truffle oil flavors in front of us. Everything was great.
My husband had the bloody mary and he said it was spicy and delicious. It was a very generous portion too.
We shared many vegetarian sides and I had the wood-oven chicken piccata with mashed potatoes. It was so good I ate just about everything on my plate.
We ordered a couple of pizzas to save for today so we could enjoy them during the Super Bowl. I can't wait till the game starts ... my mouth is watering for those wood-oven pizza pies and a cold brew!
Now that we know about Lulu and their family style dining, we will be back with friends and family so we can share more things. I think my daughter will love their pizza too!.
easy parking for dinner reservations, check.
nice ambiance, check.
good service but not overly friendly, check.
we had the oysters, they were fresh, and tasted better with just lemon juice but without dipping in the garlic vinegrette.
for the antipasti, the leek and goat cheese tart was too rich as an appetizer for me. the pate was dull and unflavorful. the duck liver mousse was good, but the bread they served on wasn't crispy, and i thought smll toasts would've been tastier.
the roast duck was tender and not dry at all. but the flavor was more likea duck confit. portion was huge though. I could've shared that with another person.
because we were so full from the appetizers and entree, we skipped dessert. i'll go back again to try their other rotisseries.
Where can you find a spacious restaurant that serves a butt kicking lunch?
Restaurant Lulu is as close as it gets.
My friends and I came here for brunch / lunch. The first thing we noticed was how spacious it was. The tables were spread out unlike other venues that try to maximize their profit at the cost of their patron's comfort. We had a table for ten and none of us were rubbing elbows as we ate.
The food overall was pretty good. A couple of us got the poached egg brunch. I got the egg pizza with strips of bacon, egg, and sweet onions. It was super yummy. I am not sure if their menu changes daily, but bring your magnifying glass because their menu font size is 9 and the ink is running out because we could barely make out the names of the dishes.
I wasn't impressed. The food wasn't great, and the waitstaff took forever.
It was a little disappointing...it was pretty overrated.
Went to Lulu for a retirement party. The space is nice, but the food was disappointing. The mussels were o.k., as was the salad, but our salmon was undercooked. The service was below average. They didn't get the coffee out until after we had finished our desserts! Booooo. Don't know if I'd go out of my way to try it out again.
To set up this dining experience it was like going to a movie one year after it had already been out and the best of reviews were luke warm. I had not heard one good review from any of my friends or colleagues, but an establishment that has been around as long as Lulu must be doing something right...right?
So let's just say the bar was loooow coming in here.
I certainly arrived expecting the worst or something close to it, but instead had a really solid outing here.
I am a big fan of their sister restaurant, Zibibbo in Palo Alto.
Coming on a Monday, the place was chalk full of business folks and I thought the atmosphere worked, especially with the large wood-fired oven, rotisserie and grill in the back.
I went with the go to Oak Fired rotisserie chicken with potatoes on top of a warm lettuce salad. It was an extremely solid meal that left me fully satisfied, which is saying something when I have chicken for my main course.
Solid spot all the way around.
Decent Mediterranean fare, and can be quite cozy even for such a large place. This is because most of the party-of-four-or-less tables are crowded together (it's a large group place anyway so go for the booths or large dining tables).
True, the food used to be better but this place has "matured" and is going through the motions (not great, not poor, just consistent). That is, the grill mussels are still good, but not "wow!" as before, so are the steaks/grilled chicken/pork. This place used to be a sure bet - we all can agree to when going out to eat, but ITTET*, can't go back as often. Yet, it's still a nice fallback place if the first or second choices are a no-go.
Parking can be difficult so do the carpool deal and valet park.
Summary based on 1 dinner:
--food's ok. but...
--overpriced
--huge portions (why Americans are fat)
--noisy
--terrible parking
--friendly service that can get overtaxed when busy
--very overpriced, sticker shock wine list. Best strategy may be to get flights. (We got 3.)
SF Food Inspection Score: 88
Hmmm, disappointing score for prices of the food.
Anyhoo, Lulu's was satisfying to say the least.
I went there for an event and the h'or deorves were yummo. The service was attentive and not too abrasive.
You gotta try their pizzas, really rustic and authentic but familiar and tasty.
The ambiance is very pleasant and it's very spacious. It provides a very comfortable and warm environment to eat. Highly recommended for casual dates.
Service was bad. Perhaps this just isn't a good place for larger parties.
- Our meals came at very different times (the time difference between the first entree and last being served was around 25 minutes). We did receive three free desserts for this, but it really made the dinner uncomfortable for our party of 11, since those of us who got our food early on waited for the birthday girl to be served.
- They had sort of an 'auction system' to serving. Drinks were served to the wrong people, and the first entree was placed in front of the incorrect person. The waiters finally just asked 'who ordered X?' before handing the plate to the nearest member of our party to pass to the person who'd ordered the item.
- I just checked my bank statement and the amount charged to my card is not the amount I'd indicated on my tab.
- I can't really fault them for this, but it was a very warm SF evening, and even warmer inside this restaurant. The doors were open, but there were no fans or any form of air circulation. Hopefully this won't affect too many people since it's usually so cool outside.
The food is good.
- I had the spaghetti, which I didn't think was stellar, but one of my friends ordered the goat cheese ravioli, and it was delicious. I heard the pizza was also good, as well as the risotto.
Alright, you may not think this place is that great, but I swear their goat cheese ravioli reminded me about everything delightful in the world - including sex. In fact I remembered that some people prefer food over sex when I relished in the moment of the silky goat cheese dissolving on my tongue. If only I could say it went 'oh so slowly', but of course it did not.
The pinot I had was also excellent. It was easy to drink, but had a nice spice. Not too smelly (which I like), but the gigantic glass it was served in made me feel classy.
What I don't like about this restaurant is the layout. It's huge and everyone is in the center which sorta feels like being in a Cafeteria. Despite this waiters are still extremely attentive. I never felt like I was waiting around for anyone. Unfortunately this isn't the best, despite the great service, if you want an intimate atmosphere.
Scene:
12 coworkers, one restaurant, one night, big expectations...
Slowly we migrate to the bar waiting for the rest of the crowd. Stella's keep us content until the wave of people arrive. Then they seat us...
Champagne comes first...slowly...but it comes...
Whilst we are consuming ourselves on the the sparkling goodness the order is taken stealthily.
Sooner than later food flows from every which way, quail, roasted chicken, ravioli, spaghetti, salad, pizza, clams, pork, sausage, everything you could want rained down upon us...wine flowed freely as it should...
if you don't see the satisfaction I'm sorry.
I had high expectations for this place, but LuLu's did not deliver. I guess, I was expecting to be served entrees, but instead, it was a tapas style restaurant. The food was good, but nothing spectacular.
I would highly recommend this place if you had to put on a networking event though. It's so close to Moscone, and there are private rooms.
