Fodor's Review:

Forget popcorn. In this hip, loftlike space, "dinner and a movie" become one joyous event. Classic films like Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor are projected on a wall in a large inner courtyard while you're served oysters on the half shell, house-cured sardines, curried chicken with gypsy peppers, or steak with Argentine salsa. Fussy filmgoers should call ahead to find out what's playing and arrive in time for a good seat. Kids aren't forgotten, with celery and carrot sticks, pasta with butter and cheese, and two scoops of ice cream for just $7. The weekend brunch brings big crowds.

Best meal we had during a recent long weekend in San Francisco. We had a relaxed, delicious, creative brunch on Sunday. Sat in the courtyard and our server made us feel like the only ones in the place.
