I celebrated a birthday here and have loved it ever since. On certain nights, a prix fixe is available, with several choices for each course. They are good choices right off of the regular menu, which changes seasonally. If available, get the butternut squash soup and wild mushroom lasagna. But the mango sorbet with tapioca is the show stopper. Do not miss it if it’s on the menu.

Cuisine:	American / California Cuisine
Price:	The 3-course prix fixe is available Sunday through Thursday before 7PM for $30. Otherwise, entrees are $15-25.
Dress:	Chic casual and up. Sevens and Diesels are OK, faded 501s and shorts aren’t.
Noise:	Not a big problem.
Reservations:	Recommended.
Payment:	Cash and credit cards.
Parking:	Parking in the Castro is not great, but not as bad as in other neighborhoods. Cruise Market, as it has the highest turnover. Alternatively, it’s only a five-minute walk from the most of the MUNI streetcar lines.
Date place?	Yes. Try to get a seat by the window to look out on Market.
