David: "So first and foremost, Alhamra is at the top of my list because they can deliver the spice."
Sarah: "Next up was the chicken tikka masala. The chicken used was good quality, the meat was cooked well, and the sauce was a good flavor."
Tony: "My wife and I both agreed that if we were living in the Mission District or even in the surrounding areas, Alhamra would become a regular take-away place for us."
Sarah: "It comes to the table unmixed, and then your waiter or waitress will toss everything together after pointing out each ingredient. This is one of my favorite parts of coming here."
Tony: "The last dish to arrive at the table was the tea-smoked duck. This dish was by far the standout of the meal."
David: "The samusa soup is a must at this place."
Tony: "The seafood is perfectly cooked and, enhanced by the spice and curry notes of the broth, delectable and exotic in flavor."
David: "The service was outstanding. Despite its “fine-dining” status, this place had not one lick of snobbery."
Sarah: "I have four words for you: five course tasting menu."
Nino: "The portions were huge. The pork was well cooked; it was very moist and flavorful."
Alexia: "After dinner, everyone present said they would come back to Grand Oaks because of the food. The prices were exceptional for the portion and quality of the food."
Matthew: "The food was great, the service was great, and the place is a fun, friendly, sports bar. I could also see this being a great place to watch the Giants."
Matthew: "For my main course, I ordered the wild boar and gnocchi. This is a hearty dish that any man would love."
Nino: "My gnocchi had the same consistency as my friend's, but I thought the sauce tasted a lot like SpaghettiOs, and my friends agreed."
Alexia: "Overall, while I enjoyed the pesto, the gnocchi fell flat. Also, the dish needed something to bring it up a notch flavor-wise. A Bam! factor."
Alexia: "One of my favorite characteristics of Elite Café is the way they add their own unique spin on Southern comfort food."
Matthew: "The mussels on the other hand, at $11.00, were an exceptional value."
Nino: "We were joking that it's probably too pricey for a first date place, it's more fitting for a second anniversary."
Bob: "The portion is such that half of the po’boy is boxed for dinner."
Jacob: " The crab roll itself was fantastic, with generous portions of crab that came in a soft roll, toasted to perfection."
Lori: "I had the blackened halibut BLT and have to say that I had no idea what a remarkable treat I was in store for."
Lori: "At the time, I was a strict vegetarian and a bit worried about what I’d be able to order in an 'East German' restaurant, but fortunately Walzwerk has amazing options for vegetarians as well as meat and potato fans."
Bob: "If I were to try German food again, I would opt for the sister restaurant, Schmidt’s on Mission."
Jacob: "The food arrived within ten minutes of our order, which is always a cool thing."
