Is it actually worth it?
If you work in the South Bay and need a place that feels like an occasion without being a whole evening, this is it. The room is warm wood and low light, the service is quick and unfussy, and the barrel-aged manhattan at $13 is the kind of drink you'd happily pay full price for.
The tuna tartare cones are the standout — crisp shell, clean fish, a little citrus and chili. The burrata changes with the season and has been excellent both times I've had it. The wagyu sliders are good, not transcendent, and at $14 they're the one item I'd skip in favor of another round.
Honest note on value: this is the priciest happy hour on my Bay Area list, and it's still meaningfully cheaper than eating here at 8pm. Two people, two drinks each, three plates: about $95.
