Any complaints yet about not having enough California-based ingredients?

 

[SFJoe]

Really good meal there tonight. Uptick from the test meal on Sunday in several respects. Remarkably good, you would never have suspected it was a first night.

We've only been open a day. Why complain? I assume you mean not enough California wine?

Yeah. Good luck with the new venture.

 

[Jeff Connell]

I was there. In spirit. No complaints. Except not being there.

Not having been yet (I guess my F&F invite was lost in the junk filters), I've written an extensive Yelp review praising the wines but dissing the clientele.
