    A friend recomended this place for a late dinner, so I made resavation Saturday night @10:30 for four people. We arrived there @10:15 and we thought we were too early. The host greeted us and said our table will be ready in a few minutes. We waited and waited and waited and the host kept saying our table will be ready in few minutes. We finally sat down at 10:50 with no opologies for the delay from the host or any comments. The vibe I got from him was too bad whatever look.The food was good but nothing to WOW about. The menu selection was not that impressive, the turn off item on the menu was the chicken pot pie which I felt I was at KFC with presentation and the size of it. Some Entrees did not have sides and there was no option to order a side of veggies or potatoes. When asked to order a side of potato with the lamb dish the waiter said they do not have enough to serve only for the specified dishes that comes with potatoes. Overall we could have gone to the ELEPHANT BAR AND BEEN SATISFIED for less money.

    What I like about this place is that it is casual dining at its best. If you find yourself in the mood for casual late night dining on a school night, but don't want to end up in a dinner or coffee shop then try this place. They are open pretty late for San Francisco- 12am, which is a huge plus. My favorites include the ribs, half roasted chicken and the chicken and shitake ravioli.The atmosphere is pretty cool too.

    Hot little SOMA restaurant: Foie Gras Torchon, Baby Back Ribs, Goat Cheese Mac and Cheese, Kamamoto Oysters, etc, etc. Really excellent meal. I prefer to eat at the bar. I've tried table seating, but if you are only two, the bar is comfortable and groovy. The layout is dark and sleek.

    Everything there is, yes, lovely, food, people, the Tawny. The mac and cheese balanced out the intense but delicious flavor of the baby back ribs. The foie gras with candied cherries were wonderful. They played one of my favorite OM Lounge songs while I was there. Music is everywhere. It keeps the conversations between the people having it and drowns out the rest. The bar staff is young, but make excellent drinks. Have some bread pudding or the blood orange pot de creme as it is in season.
