Ordered the pastrami sandwich pastrami was OK but too much sauerkraut and very little pastrami was a rip off. That was three times more sauerkraut and a thin couple slices of pastrami.

## What Diners Say
- ★★★★★ "OMG!
Super fun.
Me and my husband kept saying as Google Guide level 10, how did we missed this bar these years.
Awesome vibe, people kept coming in after work.
Even if it's crowded, you will find a spot somewhere inside the restaurant.
I totally don't feel like in San Francisco when we visited RE.

- ★★★★★ "Great bar!
They're praising their burger, saying it's the best burger in SF, I won't agree or disagree, but the burger was very delicious. One thing I'll say it was outstanding was FRENCH FRIES !!!
The waiter was polite and patient with us. Food came super fast, and it was fresh and tasty. Portions..." — **Ajdin** (2 years ago)
