Came for food, left annoyed and uncomfortable. AVOID. As others stated, the management and staff can be extremely rude and pushy. Do not come here within a 30min - 1 hour before closing otherwise you will be harassed to pay them and leave a minute after receiving your food. I paid a second visit here last Friday. First time was an extremely busy holiday weekend and I was pressured to pay after having my meal dropped off. I visited with 2 friends who were visiting the Bay area and looking to get dinner, one of whom only landed at SFO an hour earlier! We dropped in at 8:30 pm. Our mistake. They close at 9, and you’d think if they were not ok with us sitting in, they could have just said that and we would have been fine. No, they allowed us to sit. One friend immediately went to the bathroom and not even did we get 1 min to look at the menu did the server come and ask “You ready to order??” And we said “No we are not..our friend is still in the restroom” and the server let us know we are the last to order because they leave at 9. We finally got to order and got the food quickly. As soon as the food was dropped at the table, again, the check soon followed. I didnt sign immediately because I was trying to eat and the manager came over to tell me to sign the check. There was banging and noise from staff making their way out before the restaurant closed. We felt as though they would have locked us in. Honestly the food and atmosphere were unmemorable since my experience was so sour. They shouldn’t accept patrons after a certain time if they plan to kick people out. Do not come here.
