Margot

“Overall, enjoyed the food and ambience here. It's an open concept kitchen, which is always fun to watch and in my opinion, enhances the experience. The roasted artichoke was hands-down my favorite thing we ordered. The verte salad was also really yummy, the added crunch from the breadcrumbs was nice and the dressing was fresh and flavorful. We also ordered the aglio & olio pasta which was yummy and the bucatini was cooked really well. The seabass was unique thanks to the addition of bacon and we enjoyed it. The reason I took a star off is because the chicken didn't taste fresh. You could tell that it was prepped much earlier in the day because it had that sort of stale taste. Otherwise, the side of panzanella salad was delicious.”

“We enjoyed our dinner at Margot. We grabbed a late reservation on a Saturday and were happily seated before the time on a busy evening. Really liked the salad verte. It was very large and had a really nice dressing on it. I did questioned the peas on it. We ordered it because of the peas and it being summer, but when it turned out they were cooked peas and may have been frozen peas which seemed incongruent with the rest of the very fresh salad. Another thing that I asked the waiter about was a little bit of grittiness that turned out to be bread crumbs. I would have preferred them to be noted and larger in size. But we made all gone with the salad. The tomato salad was also very good! I love a bit of purslane. We enjoy the artichokes with salsa verde. With both the tomato salad and the artichokes that would have been good to have some bread. Bread is offered on the menu in conjunction with prosciutto for $22.00. We didn't ask about getting just bread and that may be our bad. We also ordered the french fries which turned out not to be quite french fries but more like potato sticks. They were a trip down memory lane but not quite what I would describe as french fries. The Zuni style Chicken itself was tasty and a good size portion With a nice panzanella salad. The salmon was fine. There were more of those peas in the otherwise unflavored couscous. The dessert offerings were not compelling enough but we did enjoy our dinner. When we look back at the photos on Google it seemed like certain dishes like the pasta or more interesting in the past. That's why we didn't order any pasta. The descriptions seemed kind of plain for the price.”

“We miss the old diner but glad it's open again for American comfort food. We had the beets and artichokes to start that were both simply done but delicious. The limone pasta was the least liked plate. Branzino with beans and steak were also tasty. Their version of Zuni cafe's chicken was also flavorful. (I ate that chicken at least 1x/month with oysters and a Bloody Mary in SF!) Ultra thin shoestring fries were a hit. If you want bread, ask them for it plain. The toasted one was greasy with oil. Pleasant comforting winter meal. And you get $50 off for $150 on the inKind app if it's the first time using it.”
