Restaurant is cool, service is fine. Food is a little basic though. Better than hospital food though

RARELY will we repeat food on a trip, especially when we only visited the restaurant once. But it was SO GOOD I had to get it again before leaving and new we wouldn't have another chance. Horse on the roof was phenomenal.

Best simple breakfast sandwiches in SF. Their egg salad sandwiches is also fire. The E&C is my current hyper fixation food. I hate that they’re so far away from me now but I make special trips into SF to get my fix.

$20 sandwiches is now the norm in sf. I had the pastrami. It was good. But not good enough to go back-portion seemed small. There’s better sandwich spots in the city if you’re spending $20 bucks on lunch.
