I love garlic on anything. Well, almost. Ever since a friend told us about this place three years ago, we've made it our destination every time we're in SF. The hosts at the front leave something to be desired, but that's pretty much how it is everywhere in SF. You need reservations, but they won't seat you until your whole party is there. I've never heard of that before, but oh well. But...if you like garlic, this is the place. The prime rib is rare, but good. I really enjoy the ambience. The red curtain area in the back is primo! If you want ""room"" go to Olive Garden! (Please.) Our waiter was attentive. The mussels and shrimp are excellent, however I am a gnocchi lover, and it is wonderful here! The red curtain area is romantic for two. And the merchandise at the front is cool. Don't go there to make friends with the staff. Go for the garlic!
Pros: ambience, food
Cons: host staff
