Our first Where-To-Wednesday Adventure on September 29th 2010, took myself, Elizabeth and Neely to Serpentine located in the Potrero Hill/Dogpatch area and we had a great experience! We decided to rate the restaurant based on a few items (watch out Zagat), and below are our results!
10= perfection / 1 = death. Drum roll please....
Ambiance: 7 - it's a smaller restaurant and a little dark, but overall a fun and warm atmosphere. During our dining experience, it was EXTREMELY hot in there. I think all three of us ended up putting our hair up to cool down a bit.
Wine: 9 - great selection and we tried a few - both red and white - all were delic. Our fave was "Teira" which I believe was a Sauv Blanc.
Food: 9 - very unique spins on great classics - i.e. corn on the cob...with cocoa and chili salts! The salads were also amazing - we had all three.
Ingredients: 9 - everything was extremely fresh
Service: 10 - our waiter was very nice...giving us MANY tastes of wine as we slowly made our way through the list of wines we couldn't choose one from;) He was very helpful and friendly.
Price Point: 9 - pricing on point, reasonably priced
Noise Level: 9 - we met there around 6:45 and there weren't many people there at that time - rather quiet, however, close to 8 it became pretty packed and the noise level went up but we could still easily hear each other.
All About The Area: Although Serpentine was located in the Dogpatch area of Potrero Hill, it really didn't show us a true view of the area itself. The restaurant is bit separated from the neighborhood and actually looks a bit like a warehouse - not exactly nestled snuggly into the neighborhood. If you do here, we hope you also have a great experience and yummy meal, however, we woudl recommend driving here as you would likely need to jump in your car or hail a taxi to go to destination #2 if the night is young.
Overall Grade: 9
