"Zagat Top Rated Newcomer 2004/2005"
"A legitimate legend in the making, this hot Hayes Valley newcomer provides a small but beautiful three level setting for unwinding replete with comfy chairs, a 20-ft cascading waterfall and tiled koi pond; the crowd's hip but not annoying the bartenders are cool and even the most jaded are impressed by the tasty Asian-style tapas and superb happy hour during which quality cocktails and premium beers are two bucks; P.S. everyone should take a trip to the men's room to check out the mirror. " - Zagat 2004/05

“A soothing lounge for the well-heeled Hayes Valley crowd.”
From the green-tiled bar to the fresh orchids set into candlelit nooks, all elements work to calm the cocktail psyche. Jade is a harmony in three parts. The main floor houses a small central bar and a 20-foot waterfall that empties into a pond below. Follow the trickle downstairs and discover a lounge with Asian-styled banquettes and a second bar. Or, head upstairs to the shag-carpeted loft.As one of the only bars in the neighborhood not tied to a restaurant, Jade fills a void. This is the place to go when the opera lets out or when you're finished pillaging the area's treasured boutiques. Unlike the throng of Marina and North Beach lounges, Jade's stand-alone status guarantees you can relax with other attractive 20- and 30-somethings without spending all night looking for parking.”  - Citysearch.com
