    Get the fried chicken, sub the salad for mashed potatoes, and eat the whole thing with honey and hot sauce. Don’t forget to take your rings off before you chow down. Say hi to Lydia for me.

    The state of California has a bunch of serious contenders, but the macaroni and drunken Spanish goat cheese at this San Francisco spot is tangy, bubbly perfection. Read more

    Good quality place, indeed. Hostess was very welcoming and accommodating. Staff is definitely top notch. Tried meatloaf and it lived up to it’s fame. Would add a tad more greens. Thumbs up anyway!

    Cost little spot that is beer and wine only. If you're looking for some fried chicken & meatloaf this is a great place to get it. The lamb spam was a really interesting surprise.

    Appetizer: The farro (larger couscous-like grain) with slow egg and crostini is a savory delight. Great for one (if filling). Might request more crostini when sharing.

    Excellent fried chicken and meatloaf, but the surprising winner was the chorizo stuffed grilled octopus! Excellent service and ambience.

    The mac n cheese is so good the recipe hasn't changed in 13 years. It includes Tabasco, nutmeg, dry mustard, a little worcestershire, and a firm Spanish drunken goat cheese, called Murcia al Vino. Read more

    Everything we ordered was delicious. Seasonal menu, but when we went they had butterscotch pudding- one of the best desserts I've ever had.

    Homemade maltagliati with Dungeness crab was to die for. Love watching them prepare the food in the open kitchen - everything looks sooooo good!

    The gnocchi with crispy pork belly is fantastic. Be sure to sample one or two of their unusual yet fabulous wines by the glass.
