    Cafe Mason next door was a great stop for a late-night feed. Food was reasonably-priced and not the usual bland Sysco fare.

    Not the best food unless you are really desperate. Don't order the bolognese, it's more like a beef stew... A dry beef stew. Chicken sandwich was dry also. Not great value for money

    This place was horrible all of their food was dozen and their quesadilla tasted like soap. The service was horrible and confrontational when I complained. The only thing good was the ranch dressing.

    The food is awful. That croque madame was seared. The only advantage is that it's right beside the Hi Hostel.

    If you're looking for the upscale SF dining experience, this isn't it. Food is ok, geared towards tourists. This is just a glorified diner.

    This place smells like pee. With this smell nothing can be good, also food is worse than average. Avoid.

    Don't order the Fettuccine Alfredo, it's over priced and not that great. But do try the Frozen Rasberry Iced Tea Sorbet (light on the syrup)
