Intimo - San Francisco

Small but Interesting selection of creations prepared with indigenous ingredients. Well worth it are the baby back ribs. The atmosphere is a little dark, lights specially over the table are advisable.

Starting with the good points which are the personnel, extremely kind and attentive and the ambience. The open kitchen is really a plus. Not really impressed by the tasting menu unfortunately. Probably too many expectations but aside the ceviche style shrimps the rest did not strike me as anything special. Frijoles as 3th plate were definitely too sweet and pasta overcooked. For 125 usd including a 45eur bottle of wine (rightly advised) and tips my experience was not worth the ticket. I give 3 stars as probably was a bad night and the menu a la carte could have been better.

Easily one of the best meals I've had anywhere in the world. Each course was perfect, the service was amazing and the dessert I had is in my top ten of all time. For what I ate and what I experienced, it is well worth the value (that meal in L.A. would have been at least $20 higher, if not more. Run, don't walk to this fantastic place. The owner said he wanted everyone to feel like they're at home, and he and his staff succeeded!

We were led to an outdoor table to our surprise when we arrived at 630pm. When I made the reservation I had indicated standard seating which I assumed meant indoor since there was a separate option for outdoor. For us Canadians, it was a bit too hot to dine alfresco. There was no drinks menu when I asked for one. The burrata was very smooth, but we find it lacks a bit of acidity. The octopus rice was delicious. My husband's bass was a bit over. Service was friendly. All in all, nothing was bad but I guess our expectation was a bit higher.

Lovely, welcoming staff (and chef! from the time we checked in to the end of the meal. The tuna and octopus rice were the highlights of the meal. Thank you for a beautiful dinner!
