Dishonestly lists it's menu prices by adding a resteruant set fee to the price. If they were honest they advertise the true price.

Chez Maman West is one of the best French cuisine we have had in San Francisco! We tried out the burger that comes with fries and the moules marinieres. The burger is special because it is on ciabatta bread. It was really good and tasty. in addition the moules marinieres are awesome!!!! The staff are nice, and the service was good. The ambiance is a bit loud. There is inside seating and outside seating. It is small, and so during peak hours there might not be any space left. They have a variety of options on their menu, like crepes, burgers, or seafood...

Drinks and Food were overpriced for being mid. Also there is just bad vibes here and something spiritually Israeli about this restaurant

A beautiful and special, not to mention delicious and well serviced establishment. I went for the happy hour beer and apps, (btw, very fairly priced) and I was not disappointed by the service, ambiance or quality taste and presentation of food at all. The tables and chairs were nice and clean. The floor didn't stick to your shoes. The service was fast. The music was good. The waiter and service and food was really great. Also their were not to many people there on the Friday at 6pm when I went. Definitely a 5/5 star place that I'm going back too again.

"We do not have alcohol - we are a vegan restaurant" - An argument I had not heard of before! The food was very good. The prices were low compared to the quality, so in terms of value for money this is absolutely the place to go to. Service was below average and the atmosphere is lousy, the chairs are unpleasant. It is more like a canteen than like a restaurant.

1 the service was the worst I have received in San Francisco. Nobody would wait on us. 20 mins for water. 10 mins for a refill. They staff more worried about setting the tables

A friend and I ate at Capital recently. I had fried squid, wonderfully golden limited condiments, and Black Pepper Beef. Friend had fried spring rolls and fried oysters, again limited condiments. Diner atmosphere but impeccably clean. To use the restroom requires a walk through the kitchen, lots of stainless. If the decor had been different I might have given it 5 stars.

. Here's a polished version of your review: --- Friendly, efficient, and well-priced for the quality and flavours we enjoyed tonight. The Agadashi Tofu and assorted tempura starters both met our expectations, setting us off to a great start. Next, we had the teriyaki beef and California roll combo, along with the chicken and broccoli entrée paired with tuna sushi nigiri 🍣. Both meals included the classic miso soup, a small salad with sesame dressing, and white rice—the perfect trifecta that always hits the spot for me. The beef was tender and well-seasoned, while the chicken was cooked to perfection. We left with full bellies but not feeling overly stuffed, happy that we had chosen this place over the pub-style restaurant across the street. The idea of Japanese cuisine won us over, and we’re glad we took a chance. It's nice when things work out! We’d eat here again in a heartbeat.

... otherwise you're taking up space. Great vibe and the best combinations, quality and service. Insist on sitting where Allen can guide you and eat whatever he recommends. Cap it off with the wagyu and truffles ... foodgasm!

My family and I drove almost 3 hours from our hometown to try this place. The food was delicious, but the service from the lady that was there was so incredibly rude! The atmosphere was not what I expected. It was dirty, the bathrooms were filthy, the sauces looked messy and bottles felt sticky, and the tables were gross. The staff lady that worked there looked miserable as if she hated her job. Also wanted to mention that at the end of our meal, the lady approached us, asking us to clean our own table. There was no sign anywhere, and she seemed lazy to do anything. She also forgot an item on our order. She didn’t apologize either for that. We unfortunately will not be returning.

Simply the best restaurant in the Inland Empire. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the incredibly personal staff and enveloped in a cozy modern atmosphere. Soon, you'll drink the best cocktails you've ever had, and you'll eat food that is delicious and simply made with love. This is truly a restaurant where you can safely order off the special menu every time, but the standards are incredible too, and so is the Sunday brunch! "When you're here, you're family" is a trademarked line from another restaurant, but Nuno's makes it a reality.

The restaurant is at the water side. Great environment for business dinner although the tables were a bit close to each other. Food was excellent and unique. The crab shown in the picture deserved the highest mark. Price was steep at $200/person. Noise level was not low although the vibe was very happy. Good place for entertaining business guests but might not be the best for families.
