San Francisco Restaurant Guide

Pros: A hopping, popular place, well appointed -warm inviting. Very good food. (Pork Chop is always excellent.)AMAZING bus staff who make up for sometimes slow wait staff. Good sized bar and selection, Good wine and desert selection (breadpudding, tiramisu, choc.cake are too good to be true). Cons: Always crowded and gets very loud - could be romantic if it weren't so busy. Servers often get bogged down and forgetfull.
Basics: make reservations, dress is casual, extra crowded, not kid friendly, try different dishes and share, you won't be disappointed.

This well-positioned restaurant focuses on freshness by using California seasonal vegetables in their cuisine and fruits in the desserts. Enjoy comfort foods like the perennial favorite the onion-ringed stacked roasted chicken on a bed of smooth mashed potatoes or the soy-glazed halibut. Avoid the fishbowl window if you're on a date, passersby relentlessly ogle diners. The full bar serves house-flavored vodka cocktails like the Tina Louise - infused vodka with ginger essence.
