we celebrated my son's 16th birthday here last night and were at first slightly put off by the noise but then eased into the experience.  it was completely packed with people waiting everywhere around the bar for tables.  luckily i made a reservation...
the decor is fabulous, waitstaff also had to grow on me, but in the end i was pleased.
the crust on their butterfish is the first authentic italian detail i noticed.  it's the little things that make a girl raised on authentic italian food impressed.  i can't recall ever tasting the result of this technique anywhere except a relative's home.  the gnocchi with pesto, out of this world.  the weight of the gnocchi and the consistency of the pesto was divine.  focccia with oozing cheese was dreamy.  the fried donuts and coffee sealed the deal for me.

perfect coffee and atmosphere.  i'd say it's equal or better than blue bottle. after spending most of my cafe time in South Park, I was surprised when I realized there were other people in San Francisco who did not make their living on the Internet.

Nothing like this exists anywhere else on the Peninsula or in San Francisco for that matter.  Service, food, decor, vibe, views, pool...it's all perfect.  The "human signage" is my favorite.
Eat lunch on the terrace overlooking the Santa Cruz mountains with good company and you'll be beyond satisfied.

delightful. we reordered the asparagus, one wasn't enough. the staff were the polar opposite of the staff at delfina. we've been eating at delfina quite regularly and after a horrible experience on Sat which was preceded by 3 other horrible wait staff episodes, decided to look for a new place. this may be it.

very nice waitstaff and lovely interior.  the food was not special, but at least one of the 4 courses we had was good.  the other 3 were non-memorable.

This is a gracious store full of gracious employees.  After only shopping here for about a year, I'm totally impressed with how personalized the customer service is that we receive.  Often customer service at this genre of boutiques can be so sugary sweet false that it makes you want to retreat, but here I feel it is very intelligent and totally professional.  The best edited collection of Vaubel jewelry I've seen.
