What a wonderful breakfast AT A HOTEL!

Was shocked by the quality of the food here and so pleased. After a long trip/travel day sometimes all I crave is a nice hardy breakfast and I got it here! Best part is I didn’t have to go looking for it. It was right in my lobby.

Thank you to the wonderful servers that provided incredible service and gave me some time and space while I worked. Such a wonderful spot to go to for brunch if you’re in the area or someone is visiting.

So my friends enjoy this spot and brought me for my birthday.  Villon took every opportunity to knock this out of the park.  One of a kind dishes pairing flavors you could barely dream up, their passion and skill shine through .

I have dined at Villon several times and always like the ambience, service and food in this elegant restaurant in the Proper Hotel. Last night we had a very enjoyable pre-theater dinner. The creamy artichoke soup was a tasty starter. The pork katsu was large but nothing special. I would have expected a novel take on this standard Japanese dish. The chocolate custard had a delicious assortment of flavors, but I would have liked more chocolate.

Exquisite- one of the best meals of my life. speechless about the mushroom appetizer. VILLON is absolute perfection- from stunning architectural scale of the lobby, to soothing dark tones of restaurant, and sparkly highlights of the dramatic bar. Service was impeccable - everyone. Food was exquisite. The Chef is brilliant… and has PERFECTED  the art of delicate crisp to the (GF!) tempura mushroom appetizer, as well as the skin of the chicken and fish entrees. FLAVORS and TEXTURES were magnificent. The entire experience was subtle, yet extraordinary FEAST for the eyes and palate — an absolutely perfect meal before a show at the Orpheum in SF! Wow. Words don’t come close.

Came here for lunch while staying at the Proper Hotel (which I loved). From the moment I arrived, the service was stiff and off-putting, like I shouldn’t have been there. I checked the time several times to make sure I wasn’t coming in before close, but it was 1 and the restaurant closed at 2. The restaurant was empty, and there was no music playing which made for uncomfortable silence.

I ordered a drink from our not very warm server — an aperol spritz — and was told they were limited to the 4 drinks on their menu. I ordered a Negroni (listed on the menu), and the server asked “is that on the menu?” I showed it to him and he said he would “check”.  I also ordered a coffee. He asked if I wanted drip, I said yes.

He returned with the Negroni, which was made with aperol. This was almost insulting given that the only other ingredients needed for my initial drink order was sparking wine (which was on the menu) and soda water. I had to ask for coffee again and instead of apologizing, he acted dumbfounded.

On the positive, the stonefruit salad I had was absolutely divine and the Negroni was satisfying. The space is beautiful, would definitely give this place another try and cross my fingers for better/more accommodating device.
