This is one of those places you need to try in the city, just to say you've tried it. I enjoyed the food, but I enjoy Asian Fusion. I went during Restaurant Week in Summer 2010- The take out bag is a reusable bag that lists all the restaurants that are part of the same group. The service was pretty good. I've come back once more since then, but only for drinks. I think the drinks are pretty tasty but a tad on the pricey end. It depends what type of night you are looking for and how much you want to spend.

Ok, so a group of us went to Trigger the first time and had a great experience. The drinks were way too pricey for the Castro, seeing that I could get a stronger drink at 440 or the edge for two dollars less. I was not happy the second time we went due to the fact that I did pay eight dollars for a drink and got it in a PLASTIC cup. The third time we went there was after the prop 8 protest on Tuesday May 26th at around 8pm. The bartenders were not friendly and it was slow. They all huddled around each other and were talking. Including the barback. People were walking in to the bar and looking around. The bartenders said nothing to them and continued to chit-chat with each other. These customers ultimately walked out. Now why couldnt the bartenders say "HI" how are you welcome to Trigger. Especially since they were all hot. They could of had those customers stay, buy a drink and gee give the bartenders a tip. It is amazing that the bartenders dont see this. I am a bartender and I would of said hi so i could of earned a little bit of money! Overall too pricey bartenders were slacking big time. I wonder if the owner knows that he is losing money!! I wish you well but probably will nopt be a frequent customer.

Certainly a "trendy" place to go on the weekends. Their light fixtures and hanging chairs are pretty funky and neat to look at, at first glance. And for some reason I was fascinated stuffed animal-like chairs they had behind the bar upstairs. The service is pretty good... I actually really like their mix of food...wasabi mashed potatoes, shoe-string fries, chicken satay, etc. And I just discovered recently that they have a brunch menu on the weekends. Decent price and pretty good food as well. I've always enjoyed this place with a group of friends just hanging out or getting dinner. But as far as a pick-up place, if you are into pretentious crowds and pretty people, this is definitely a good option.
