Kuleto's on Powell Street was once a really good restaurant with pretty reasonable price...about 10-12 years ago. I would dine at this restaurant at least 3 times a month, maybe more. The quality and customer service took a dive a couple of years ago. I noticed this after have three (3) consecutive dinners there with my wife. The service was atrocious, but (of course) my wife really liked the radicchio appetizer with the goat cheese, so we would go back for that and some wine, since we couldn't replicate the dish at home too well. That dish was really the only dish that was good. They overcooked the pasta EVERY TIME I had it there. The last time I was there (for a business meeting) the waiter said that they couldn't cook it differently, because the chef doesn't do it like that! (I sware!)...so I ordered the veal. That evening I was extremely ill...getting "sick" all night into the morning. More to the story that I won't get into...Needless to say, I have never been back since.
I wish things were different, because the apps/wine dinners were pretty good.
Pros: wine and apps, decent price points
Cons: service is horrible, was sick all night after eating, that it's as busy as it is
