👍👍 Came here for the first time and was blown away! First of all, this is a hidden gem in the Castro. They have a beautiful back patio that you can’t see from the front of the restaurant, so it’s perfect for large parties. The food was amazing. I can see why so many people talked about their Pastrami...
