by Judson Segel on I ate here about a year ago. Its weird to eat dinner at a place where you come to get trashed. We ate dinner in the middle of the dance floor. It was trippy. The food was just ok. Nothing memorable.
by Caleb Daggs on Coda gives Yoshi's SF a run for its money, to be sure. I instantly loved Coda because it's in my 'hood. And the leather couch outside which lead to a conversation about how they keep it so nice. Inside we were seated early for our 8pm reservation even though half of our party was not present----this is pretty rare with nice places so I was impressed. Soft lighting and notes of jazz filled my head. I enjoyed the creativity put into the menu items, whether they were cocktails or appetizers. I got my drink on with the BaCu Sour, which R likened to "a drink you'd get at a spa," which was spot on because the combo of lemon, cucumber, basil and St. Germain glossed over the fact that there was also vodka and gin in there too. Everyone else at the table loved the On The Shizz, which was a citrus dream with Jameson, blood orange bitters, ginger beer, pomegranate juice and lemon. I didn't notice the wine list much, though we got a nice bottle of Prosecco at a reasonable price. Food was also very creative. We split the panko-crusted burrata cheese and brussels sprouts salad with bacon and topped with goat cheese and a poached egg. Both were very satisfying in their comfort foodiness. I was also impressed with their great selection of veg for the side -- brussels sprouts, greens, broccoli rabe, cauliflower, mushrooms -- all prepared with flavours which accentuated the veg. We split the sauteed broccoli rabe which was a little bitter but I liked it that way, and the truffled kennebec fries which were a hit with everyone. I had the mussels steamed with Pisco and grapefruit, which I enjoyed. Mrs. T had the very interesting ravioli with goat cheese and roasted pear in an arugula pesto. Another hit was the Mr. R's tasty Random Rubbed Grilled Ribeye Steak; Mister B's coffee crusted pork loin with this YUMMY creamy Jameson sauce. I couldn't bring myself to have dessert, though enjoyed a nice Sauternes and a bite of browned butter ice cream topped with balsamic glaze, candied walnuts and basil. Yum. The lavender panna cotta was good. I also had a cup of great Four Barrel Ethopian. Overall the food was great, I loved the ideas----only advice I would give to the kitchen is to be more generous with seasoning. (Salt) Service was friendly, though not always available. On with the show---we stayed for the 10pm set by The Marcus Shelby Quartet-----they really rocked it. What is the jazz term for rocked it anyhow? Another big plus for me was that we could have just come for the show, but since we dined there they just added $5 per person. Not bad, says I. Mister B and I will be back.
by Nicolas H. on Very cool space and very cool vibe. Outside was one of the better sounding Djs of the night, spinning mostly rap. Inside the main room was the headlining DJs for the night, and around the corner was another side room with a 3rd Dj. The sound managed to stay contained to each of the respective areas, which made for interesting transitions as you walk from room to room. Mighty definitely has a great sound system with large projection screens hanging from the ceiling to add to the scenery...
