From the restaurant's website:
"Named after the freewheeling gypsy, Gitane is a modern, funky, and artistically bold restaurant located in downtown San Francisco between the financial district and Union Square. ... simple, approachable bistro fare emblematic of the Basque region, drawing inspiration from neighboring Spain, France, and Portugal. An elevated bar program pairs these exotic tastes and sensations with unique and interesting sherries, cavas, madeiras, Spanish brandies, and innovative hand-crafted cocktails and small-estate wines."
Full bar. Serving dinner until late-night Thur–Sat. Closed Sun–Mon.
San Francisco Chronicle: Top 100 Bay Area Restaurant, 2011
"Gitane, located on charming Claude Lane, is nothing if not sexy: a stylish after-work crowd gathers in the downstairs bar, decked out in lush, red-printed wallpaper, or heads upstairs to the exotic dining room, which employs huge chandeliers, dark hues and mirrors for a decidedly sultry atmosphere."
