Love the food and the style. Front row seat to the kitchen, super friendly crew, and perfect sized plates to try a bit of everything. Definitely order the crispy potatoes.

Such a delicious meal. The service was amazing and warm. Mitch took us through the menu expertly and with perfect detail. He even wrote up a list of recommendations for our upcoming trip to Napa Valley. My mom and I left raving about the food and the staff. When I come back to SF, I’ll be headed straight for El Lopo.
