What People are Saying
Here's some of the quotes we hear from our customers:

"We're visiting our daughter and have eaten our 9 times so far... and this is absolutely the best place we've dined in San Francisco "

"Best apricot chutney I've ever had... you should bottle and sell it"

"The BBQ ribs have really got a kick... they're great."

"I normally don't like cheesecake, but the Amaretto Almond with the blood orange sorbet was incredible"

"The tuna tartar with those wasabi wafers... wow!"

"The family couldn't make up their minds tonight, so we let our daughter choose and she said Kookez has something for everyone... and here we are."

"Best huevos rancheros in the city, man."

"Best chicken pot pie I've had anywhere... yummy sauce you use."

The BBQ dippin' shrimp is as good as Mr. B's Bistro in New Orleans... actually, with your thick sauce, it could be better than Mr. B's."
