I've heard so much about this highly advertised sf restaurant I was willing to try it out, but I should have gone elsewhere. The staff was friendly- for the exception of the Manager in a suit at the host desk.He is the first reason for this review to be so negative, the food second. I never heard such insulting remarks to customers and to his employees-- Which I asked the host when I was seated- Is he having a bad day?? They said no- it seems he's the same everyday. The food was not great- was too fast and overpriced. I did like the garlic relish and roasted garlic in a tub. Over all the staff was friendly and the food ok. But I would not go there on a busy night or speak to the manager. This is not Italian food- just garlic with food as a second thought.
Pros: garlic is good, servers friendly, in and out fast
Cons: manager rude, overpriced, pre-cooked food
