This creative brewmaster, Justin Boehle, has lots of unique, tasty beers on the menu. I'm a lover of sour beers and this spot had two on tap. I tasted the Revenge of the Nerds sour, 7.5% ABV, with mixed kettle fermentation with Nerds candy. It was sour, sweet and warranted a 13 ounce pour for $11. They put crushed Nerds candy on the rim for an extra sour kick. This thing had a fruity kick and lots of punch. I followed the sour up with a 13 ounce pour of the Flanders-style ale for $18. This dark brown, 8% ABV ale, was aged in French Burgundy barrels. It had a very rich whisky burn and lots of full mouthfeel. A lovely ale for sipping. Stop by the brewing company for creative and amazing beers from Justin Boehle.

There is this easy, open energy to the place, especially being right there in Ghirardelli Square, where you can bounce between inside and outside and never feel stuck in one vibe. The beer lineup is solid across the board, the kind where everyone at the table finds something they are into without overthinking it. Crisp lagers, a few bolder options, all brewed in-house and actually worth coming back for. The food holds its own too. Elevated but still approachable, perfect for sharing or just settling in with something satisfying while you sip. What keeps us going back is how versatile it is. It can be a quick stop or it can turn into a whole afternoon without trying. It feels just as right bringing out-of-town friends as it does showing up on a whim. Some places try to be everything and miss. This one quietly pulls it off.

My guests were very kind and understanding of my desires to sample everything at the table, so I was able to try every dish. The scaloppini was perfectly cooked. It was tender, flavorful, and balanced. I was also impressed with the spaghetti alla carbonara. The emulsification of the eggs, cheese, and pasta water was on point and gave the dish a silky texture while still tasting bright and rich. When I got to the pappardelle and the amatriciana (my dish), the only two red sauce dishes at the table, both tasted oddly lifeless and dry, despite the quality of the ingredients and the restaurant itself. I was surprised. My guess was that the noodles may have absorbed too much moisture while sitting, or perhaps the pasta wasn't finished with enough pasta water. Another possibility was that the fat from the proteins in the sauces was separated instead of properly emulsifying into the sauce. When that happens, pasta can taste dry or slightly chalky. Luckily, during an earlier conversation, our server had brought over a bottle of extra virgin olive oil. I added a small amount to refresh the noodles, and the transformation was immediate. The oil coated the pasta, restoring a silky texture and helping carry the flavors across the palate. The olive oil softened the sharper acidic edges of the tomato sauce while helping the savory notes bloom and linger longer. More importantly, it helped reunify the sauce and pasta so the dishes tasted cohesive again. The added fat essentially restored the emulsion and dramatically improved both plates. It was magical. In that moment, I understood why this was the Winner of 2009 Boss of the Sauce award. It deserved it and it still deserves it. When we arrived, we sat inside at the bar, and I'm glad we did. The man behind the bar elevated the experience from something that could have been average restaurant experience into something more memorable. Though he was clearly busy and not hovering over us, sitting at the bar gave us direct access to him. If we needed something, we'd simply ask. But what made the experience special wasn't attentive service in the traditional sense, it was more the genuine humanity of it. I truly felt like a guest who was hanging-out in a friend's kitchen during a party while he casually hosted around me. I could talk with him naturally while he worked. There was no script, no performative upselling, just authentic hospitality and a genuine care for the cuisine and us. He turned me on to dishes simply by being a good host. That kind of atmosphere feels like an insider experience, both literally inside the restaurant and socially inside the circle of the people creating the experience. Those conversations with the staff probably don't happen at a patio table. Don't get me wrong, the patio has its own energy and purpose. Outside feels more like a lively beer garden with music, groups sitting at picnic tables, and heaters. But inside at the bar felt personal. I'm already planning to go back to sit at the bar for a cappuccino and tiramisu. On a side note: A couple of other dishes that caught my attention as those came out of the kitchen were the cheese pizza and the osso buco.

Good wine and cocktail selection from the bar. I would pass on their burgers though which are mediocre. What makes this place 5-stars is the service and ambiance. Some of their staff have been there for several years, which is a testament to how well the restaurant is run. Since it's along the Embarcadero and close to Fisherman's Wharf, a lot of tourists tend to wander in. And this is probably why their website says there's a strict dress code. But I feel comfortable coming here in shorts and a t-shirt. The staff is always welcoming. I also go to the Los Altos Grill which is the same restaurant as Hillstone. The menu is pretty much the same, but the service at Hillstone is just excellent.

Then they said "please don't move around so we can get the right food to you" which, like fine but that's not the reason they didn't want us to move. You're aiming for a hoity toity atmosphere, we can move plates around. There's an obnoxious but unenforced dress code (no jerseys then someone came in with a jersey and was as seated, no baseball hats...), but the straw that broke the camels back was when the hostess asked me to stay seated while I was seated. My 4 year old needed entertainment as we were paying the bill, we were in our last few minutes there and she told me that I had to stay in my seat. Which I was. They didn't get the order right for said 4 year old: hamburger, no cheese. Showed up with cheese. If you don't want kids in your restaurant, just turn people away. But also you're on the Embarcadero, not in a fancy neighborhood. Overpriced by 20%.
