I'm usually suspicious of places that advertise their handiness for pre- or post-theater dinner, as though the only reason you'd ever go there is because it's within a pirouette of the SF Ballet.
No doubt many people use Jardiniere, Absinthe or Paul K for that reason, but I believe Jardiniere is worth much more than that.
Overall, the atmosphere is elegant, almost glamorous. Maybe it was seeing Larry David dining with a group of no doubt less-whiny-than-he friends. Maybe it was the fancy balcony, or the sweeping staircase leading to that balcony.
It's one of those rare places in San Francisco where you feel inclined to dress up.
Curiously, I forget the specifics of the food. It's not particularly adventurous, just very well made, and rich.
