by Stephen N. on DO NOT GO HERE! There are so many other lounges and clubs in San Francisco, and it just baffles me why anybody would go here. They don't have hard drinks, they have shitty service, and the dance floor is tiny. Not to even mention that we had bottle service and they still treated us like shit. OVER IT. I hope this place gets shut down.
by Lark L. on Food is good here but the interior is weird! It is inside an office building complex and although they did a nice job on the finish out you always feel like you are in a somewhat sterile environment. It feels like it is missing something IMO. Maybe the exterior just threw me off. Service is good. Best deal is to get the Lemonanna drink by the pitcher ( we did not--but should have). Really good and refreshing. We decided not to do the tasting menu/Ta'yim since the salad/salatim platter had stuff on it my dinner guest would not like. Turkish hummus was very good. Really liked the fried cauliflower. Crispy Haloumi is interesting but for me was pretty sweet. It was not as soft as I thought it would be. Stuffed peppers had great flavor but I would have preferred them hot instead of room temp. Chicken Freekah and The Turk were both very good. Had a fish dish-good. People complain about the serving sizes but overall I thought the portion size and price were alright. Very good turkish coffee. Dessert was good but nothing special. I would say this is fun for a group to order various dishes to share. Not sure if this is a repeat place for me.
by Melvin Stinehour on Good location and about a million times better than the piece of shit location people call a club on Mission a few blocks down (Fluid). For some odd reason when I went there with a group of 8 people last night at around 11pm, it seemed that our presence there doubled the occupancy level. It was damn near vacant... The lounge downstairs has good dance music and a nice BIG bar with comfortable seating. The upstairs plays "hip hop" or whatever shit kids listen to these days, mixed by a DJ that had very little skills (he could cross fade, sure, but none of the tracks flowed -- or maybe that's how hip hop is supposed to be mixed? I dunno). Drinks were reasonably priced (think $18 for two mixed drinks vs. $20 for one at Fluid). The bar tenders were quick and courteous. Beers were around $6, not a bad price as well. I was on a guest list, so we didn't have to pay cover, but from what I know it's $20.. which honestly is a bit to much. BUT if it keeps the wankers out, by all means, charge it up. One thing that bothered me about the "hip hop" room upstairs, is that they had their private bottle service areas that were guarded by two bouncers, but funny enough, NO ONE had a table reserved that night... the two guys seemed like they were guarding it with their lives! I mean shit, let people sit down if you know there won't be any private tables that night. Overall? MUCH better than most clubs in SF.
