You MUST order the wine pairing. P.S. they serve the most amazing pastries. P.P.S. they've also got a super friendly staff and are one of the least pretentious 1-star Michelin restaurants!
An herbed fettuccine swirled with brothy chanterelles was the most stunning, though a two-pocketed ravioli (half corn purée, half braised oxtail) was a conceptual rival.
REALLY great food – listed as Italian but really seasonal, local, fresh and extremely well-executed. They have an adorable little pizza place right next door. -Monica Pope, Top Chef
They serve one of the most delicious bibimbap you'll find outside of Korea! Look for "stone" on their menu.
Look around and you'll notice every other table orders the salt 'n pepper crab. Do yourself a favor and make reservation. NOW!
Soul searching? Look no elsewhere. Even the white meat fried chicken is super juicy!
Come early and often. Annabelle (Mrs.) often makes small batches of "experimental" can't miss flavors.
This beats just about any homemade ice cream you have ever had. Imagine Kelvin (the ice cream machine that is) turn milk and other ingredients into ice cream right in front of your eyes. In 1 minute!
For the freshest of the freshest fish, make a reservation at the bar for either Tuesday or Friday evenings when their latest supply of fish just arrived. And omakase all the way!
This little bakery is hailed by locals and is well worth the long wait in line. Nothing beats sweets for your sweetie, especially if it’s the signature bread pudding or the banana cream tart. #vday
The salted caramel remains justifiably famous, but don’t overlook the subtly spicy honey lavender and nuanced balsamic strawberry.
Each variety of Tony's pizza is made with flour from personally (yes, Tony himself) selected regions to match with the toppings. Tony earned every slice of his World Pizza Cup champion! Two thumbs up!
Oh man. Sit at the counter if you can-- Tim will hook you up with some off-menu fresh catch if you only ask! Also, definitely try the yellowtail collar. Yum!
The secret cioppino will make you lick your plates clean! Bring your own wine as they do not charge corkage fee! The wait is well worthwhile, but do not attempt with more than 4 people.
This itty bitty kiosk always has a line of excited patrons in front of it, patiently waiting for their creamy lattes or New Orleans iced coffees. It's worth the wait.
Forget everything and go basic with an espresso shot. Cleanse your palette with a cool class of sparkling water chaser.
They need an alias for my usual custom combo: smoked brisket on Dutch crunch with muenster cheese, board sauce and lettuce
The employees here know their stuff. Before you grab something, ask their opinion first. They will always lead you in the right direction!
This is a French owned joint that doesn't serve French portions. Start with a quiche of the day and pray you have room left for a banana nuttella crêpe topped with their house made whipped cream!
Yes, the dosas are delicious, but the most intriguing part of the menu is the small plates. They're seasonal, change often, and among the most creative dishes on the menu.
Let Chef Dominique Crenn take you down the rabbit hole to a wonderland of sensual poetry in the form of food. A wine pairing is highly recommended; the Sommelier is outstanding. Read more.
Excellent (authentic Italian) pizza (loved the D.O.C.) and pasta (rabbit ragout was great). Have the homemade Meyer Lemon sorbet for dessert!
After a cathartic Greek meal, enjoy a Greek coffee cooked over hot sand, but leave that last sip for the gods. Oh, and you could probably stand up in that fireplace, but don’t try it. - Inspector
Very cool ambiance for a date. The Shrimp and grits are amazing. Definitely try it. Fried chicken here is a favorite and you CAN ask for white meat only but shrimp + grits = best I've had
Dig into a Filet Mignon Rossini with foie gras and Périgueux sauce. Or stay on the lighter side with excellent sushi featuring the guilty pleasure of Toro Fatty Tuna. Order a CosMojito for kicks.
You can make the argument that no restaurant in the last decade has changed the dining landscape quite like Delfina and its pizzeria offshoot next door. And that's a good thing. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
For the past 12 years, the unique Mission mainstay has served up fine foreign and independent films alongside seasonal California/Mediterranean fare with a touch of the comfort food.
Best authentic Indonesian I've had in a long time. Everything we had was amazing - spinach with shrimp paste, honey chicken, beef rendang and fried fish. Sedap!
Exceptionally amazing food!! My favorite was the Duck and the Pork Tenderloin. The wine list was spectacular. You will fall in love with GD as I did.
Seasonal menu that's consistently delicious. The atmosphere is French country-ish, but the food is all California farm fresh yumminess. Comfort food with a fine dining twist and excellent service.
farmers' market: my favorite weekend mornings hang-out spot! delicious food, music and sun. porchetta sandwich is painfully awesome :)
The burritos (dry, not wet) are first rate. If you're with a friend, do a splitty on an Al Pastor burrito and the Alambres (which come with tortillas to make mini-tacos).
Carne asada super burrito is great, but the real treat, when you're drunk and the bars have closed, is the quesadilla suiza (regular or super).
Perhaps the best Bay Area dimsum. If you must visit on a weekend, do yourself a huge favor and line up 15 min before they open. Otherwise, you could be looking at a 1+hr wait.
Everything is superb, especially the eggplant caponatina w/ burrata, fava bean bruschetta, gnocchi, dungeness crab arancini. But srsly-- the budino di cioccolato is the best dessert I've had in SF
Chocolately and boozy, the Borracha Abuelita ("drunk grandmother") made with tequila, chili-spiced hot chocolate and Mezcal-infused whipped cream is a surefire way to keep you warm during the winter. Read more.
