Absolutely phenomenal. The pork belly Benedict was extremely flavorful and the shineji mushroom omelette was full of umami and the chimichurri was fresh and delightful. We enjoyed our trip and the wait staff were so kind and attentive. Definitely worth the trip!

Came here with a group and got brunch! Good: - Solid mint coffee latte drink - super refreshing and adding the foam was unique - The loco moco was really hearty and the beef was extra tasty - Nice servers even though the wait was very long - Super cute and modern decor! Cute home-like ambiance and very clean - good double date location Bad: - We waited about an hour for our food - it seemed like they were too busy on the day that we arrived. - On the more expensive side Overall this was a cute find - would come again if they aren't understaffed.

This is the second time I’ve been here after a show at the Orpheum. If you can make reservations you’ll want to! This place is great. We had very friendly service, the food is fresh and super yummy and we just love the ambiance here. A few times they’ve changed the menu dishes based on what’s playing in theatre. This will be a regular for us! Def try the truffle mac n cheese, fish n chips and the pasta. Soooo good. And the best dessert was the lava cake!

This is my first time eating here and it was good. Great spot that is walking distance to the Orpheum Theatre. If you're a BroadwaySF Member you'll get a 20% off discount from your bill. The walls of the restaurant were filled with production posters with cast signatures. I hear the actors and production crew usually order good from here.

We came to watch Mama Mia! in Orpheum Theater and to beat the traffic, we came early. Too early, as a matter of fact. But we had enough time to enjoy our meal. First, the decor inside was so cute. The menu was simple but offered a variety of fusion options including vegetarian dishes. The service was quick and appropriate. The restaurant had two dining rooms plus patio seating. They’re busy. But our waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I don’t like too chatty wait staff but I also hate when being ignored and not having my water refilled. So he did appropriately to anticipate our needs and came to fill our water before I even had to ask. He didn’t rush us even though there’s a line. He allowed us to enjoy. The dishes shown in pictures were delicious. Soup was delicious and surprisingly light with cream. Calamari was a mixture of east and west flavors. I loved a little spicy kick. The short rib melt in your mouth. Pork chop was marinated well and the salmon was fresh and cooked to perfection. Overall, this is a good place to try the next time you’re in the City. It’s also just steps away from the theater. My only complaint was that there’s a big group in the dining room, too loud.
