While I found the food was above average, the service our server made a big ado about (you'll never be without food on the table, etc. etc.) was in fact quite mistimed. It was 7:30 on a Monday, so it wasn't because they were busy. The food, as I said, was good, but too expensive for what it was. The wine list was pretty overpriced, though this is sadly typical of SF. My biggest disappointment of the evening was in fact, the creme brulee the reviewer Fanci raved about. It had been pre-prepared hours in advanced and was completely cold, sugar and all. I figured they had bought it out of the safeway freezer section. I really don't understand what the big deal is about this restaurant and feel most of the price is a reflection of the nice space the restaurant occupies...and the fact it's in the Marina.
