I like coming here for lunch. Easy parking, gorgeous view, attentive service, good food, and I don't have to worry about spending fortune on basic vegetarian meal.

I like the ambiance; beautiful lighting, beautiful decor, and warm atmosphere. Food: some of them were good (I liked Grilled Swordfish and Mussels with Pernod), but then, some of them were very disappointing. Especially “Dungeness crab salad,” it tasted like okay coleslaw. I don't eat meat so I didn't try some of the meat dishes my friends had but they said they'd expected better considering the prices. I wish they had more vegetarian options. For the dessert, we tried pears that were baked in a chocolate batter, butterscotch pudding, and apple crisp. They were good but not enough to make us go “ummm, this is so gooood!!”
Service: need improvement. We had to ask for the water refill, servers were busy talking to themselves, and they never brought bread until we asked towards the end of the meal.

mushroom pizza is one of a few bad-for-you-foods that I can't resist. It's just too good to say “NO”. Don't go when you are starving as this place is always packed. It's brutal to wait for a long time while smelling their wonderful pizzas

I went here with a group of 5 for dinner but ended up not eating here because none of us could find anything that we really wanted to eat on the menu. But we came back here for the dessert and had a great experience. We ordered everything on the dessert menu except the ice cream and sorbet. They were all good and my favorite was the chocolate cake. I could taste the dark, bitter, and rich chocolate and it was not too sweet. Other desserts were bit too sweet for me but my friends all liked them.

What a fun place to hang out with your health-nut friends! I like their “gratitude theme.” There was a birthday celebration and all of the employees came out to sing and dance and pound on random homemade instruments and the energy and enthusiasm shown was great. The food was okay but not very satisfying. I ordered "I Am Graceful" which included quinoa, pesto, tomatoes and sprouts. This place is worth checking out, I would go back there for fun time but not for the food.

Gorgeous view of the water (hence, the pricy meal). I'd recommend making a reservation for Sunday evening if you want to just go for the food and view. This place can get pretty loud and crazy on the weekends. Everything we ordered seemed to be very well done and very flavorful but I liked the Turmeric Grilled Snapper the best. A great place to bring out-of-townners.

I've eaten here four times just because of its convenient location. Nice atmosphere and the décor but the food is just okay. Phad Thai was overly sweet and greasy. Kabocha in the pumpkin curry was under cooked. Salad was okay but nothing exciting. I kept hoping their food would taste better as they became more popular but it seems like that's not the case. I don't think I'll go back there again. My ratings (scale of 5): Atmosphere 3, service 3, food 2.

Worst sushi experience in SF. It took forever to be seated and served. We ordered IKURA maki, they used SUZIKO (not sushi quality salmon roe) instead of IKURA. It tasted awful and we were all very dissapointed. We went with group of 4 and ordered many different dishes, none of them were good. Will not go back!!!

Not my favorit Indian restaurant. I've eaten here numerous time just because my friends like this place. It's cheap alright but the food quality is inconsistent. Sometimes it taste good, sometimes it doesn't (once their curry tasted old....)

I've been here numerous times and never been disappointed. Love their plain uthappam that comes with coconut chutney & lentil soup. Their uthapam is fluffy and yummy. Thali is always nice as I can try several different kinds of entrees on one plate. And the Thali menu changes everyday. I don't go here for the atmosphere (not recommended for the first ten dates) but they have quick service and bargain prices.

I love their tofu soup! I also like the complementary assortment of appetizers.
Bibimbop & rice are cooked and served in traditional Korean stone bowls.
Long wait on the weekend nights, so go early or go on the weekdays.

I was disappointed by their sushi. It was over priced for the quality of the sushi they served. NETA was not very fresh and was small. Chefsf show was fun to watch but I much rather have the descent sushi for the price.

I went with a group of friends and we all had a great time. This restaurant offered great entertainment and ambiance. The food was good (ordered royal feasts, seafood special, and many different appetizers). The service had some room for improvementsc.they brought checks before they brought our tea and the desert, we had to go get a server for water many times, and they never came to ask how we were doing. The bill was about $60/each person with a bottle of Champaign. Considering the fun experience we had, it was worth it. It is a fun place to go for a special occasion. Entertainment: 4 out of 5, food: 3 out of 5.

Great service and lovely atmosphere. The food…. every main course I tried (shrimp & cashew nuts w/ garlic source, red, yellow, and green curry, and Pad Thai) had too much sugar. Tom Yam Kung & salad rolls were good. I like the fact that they offer sticky rice and brown rice besides white rice. I would probably go back when I’m craving for something sweet, I guess. Overall, I would give 3.5 out of 5.

Another disappointing experience at the vegetarian restaurant…. The Lemongrass noodle lacked flavor and the portion was smaller than what I usually get for the rice noodle dish at different places. The Shawarma wraps was good but also petite. Nice atmosphere for the vege restaurant, though. I rate 5 out of 10. If you'd like to have a descent vege meal, I recommend you to go to a non-vege restraurant and order some vege dishes. I’ve been having way better experiences that way.

Had 6 different dishes, none of them were impressive. Pumpkin curry and green curry were way too rich and lacked aroma. Trout wrapped with banana leaf was okay. Salad and other appetizers were disappointingly bland. Frankly, there's better food for less prices at plenty of other Thai restaurants in town. Considering their prices being higher than the most of the Thai restaurants in town, I rate 4 out of 10.
