You are in for a treat if you visit this restaurant: a warm welcome-staff, a server with outstanding listening skills, a chef who comes out and bends down beside your chair to ask you what kind of changes you would like to the dishes that he has on the menu, a flawless execution in making of the dishes and food that melts in your mouth before you can savor the flavors. Of course the setting is stylish and polished as has already been mentioned by other reviewers on this forum. This combination makes 180 Restaurant & Lounge a Unique Restaurant in the Bay Area. The story: I am a vegetarian and health-conscious so when I go out to eat I have to either give up on taste or my preferences. When we visited this restaurant, I did not see any vegetarian items on the menu and I asked the server whether the chef can make some changes to the Filet Mignon dish which had polenta and vegetables with a cream sauce. She graciously said she will check and let me know. We were engrossed in talking about something and all of a sudden the "chef" is beside my chair, asking me if I was vegetarian and what he can make for me. He described different items that he can make with description of the methods and ingredients that showed knowledge and love for food, in a very friendly melodic voice that showed warmth and welcome. When I mentioned my preferences he understood the parameters and in a short time we had a table full of wonderful dishes that had beautiful, generous portions, of what was to be one of the most delicious meals in recent memory. Two people who were with me were going to share one entree, the entree came already served on two dinner plates, beautifully arranged! Details that were taken care of... with a smile on their faces - just amazing. Very highly recommended.

I went with 3 girlfriends last night for dinner. We ended up sitting at a table in the bar for 4+ hours eating appetizers and drinking wine for dinner. The were WONDERFUL. We enjoyed the Seared Ahi (nicely spicy), Crab Cakes, Ribs and Chicken Quesadilla. They had a nice selection of wine to choose from. Our server was very attentive and friendly (but not overly so). Just before we left, the owner, Mark, introduced himself and seemed genuinely interested in our experience at his restaurant and learning about who we are. We will definitely go back and look forward to sitting down for a full dinner.

This wa a very enjoyable evening all together. The food was outstanding (the salmon and the pork porterhouse) and the service was pleasant. Nothing was rushed. Two complants, the tables are tightly placed and the lights were a little too dim. That said, we will be back!
