RAVE - Serpentine

Although we've eaten here several times, this is the first time I've posted a review of Serpentine. Not because this occasion was better or worse than the others - they've all been good - but more because it's about time I gave props to a local Potrero / Dogpatch eatery that consistently delivers excellent food and a warm vibe.

At first sight, you're struck by two things - the edgy, concrete, loft-like feel, and the somewhat clangy noise that comes with the concrete, loft-like design.

Once seated (usually at the bar in my case, whether it's for food or just adult beverages) you forget the concrete and focus on relaxing.

Tuesday night, Andrew and I returned late from our day at Pebble Beach and, still looking like sun-swept golfers in our bright shirts and white pants, enjoyed cocktails and an excellent Pinot, plus hanger steak and pork belly, respectively. Everything was tickety-boo, as we (used to, years ago) say in England.

A couple of single malts on our deck at close to midnight meant we slept well that night. Nice.
