Seeing the inside of Farallon is worth going for alone, but if you like seafood, put this on your must-do list. They also have a great happy hour!
This place has been open forever, but it has stood the test of time. Wonderful, fresh Italian, in a vibrant bistro setting. Parking is tough, so take a cab.
If you're downtown and want a great salad, this is the place. They make each salad to order and have delicious fresh ingredients like seared Ahi and tangerine segments, etc.
Beautiful, formal room that is great for a special celebration or just because. There is a prix fixe menu and a la carte options. The pasta course is not to be missed.
Take the ferry here from Pier 38/41 - the best sushi in the Bay Area as well as other seafood entrees for those who like their fish cooked. It has been around forever for a reason - it's superb.
One of the best dim sum places in the city. It can get crowded on Sundays at Rincon so try the Stevenson Street location. The Shanghai soup dumplings here (their specialty) is not to be missed.
"The food is 'dim sum'. Order a few hot items off the menu but also try the items brought around on carts or trays. It was all universally delicious and novel. It's worth a visit if you're in town."
Rent bikes to ride over the Golden Gate Bridge. It's about a 10 mile ride, and there are many places to stop and rest. Lunch at Poggio's in Sausalito and a ferry ride back makes for a great day!
