We have frequented Vivande a handful of times and although have enjoyed the wine menu and delicious pastas, my past few experiences have been less than stellar.

May not be bottomless, but definitely the best damn mimosa I've ever had. EVER.
Anybody else have mimosa favorites on Fillmore?
Good pizza- definitely believe most can die happy prior to trying...
There's something about the ambiance that kind of gets to me...bright lights make it feel like your'e eating in a cafeteria.
I prefer taking this pizza out and eating it in the…More »

Can't believe I haven't reviewed Dinos!
Yes this is a "heavy hitter" neighborhood in terms of high end restaurants, but when you want just a tad casual, fulfilling Italian food, this corner joint is the place to go.
Pizza is good, but I highly…More »

I do not deviate from my go-to fish and chips at Woodhouse. They are just that good.
I did manage to persuade the bf to deviate from his usual with an order of Fribs (fish ribs). Those things are awesome! Who'd have thunk there was a fish that…More »

My hood keeps gettin better and better!
First Woodhouse, now Fraiche! Fraiche is my go-to when I'm down home in PA, and now they're down from my new home here in SF!
Dried figs+ clover honey+ almonds on yogurt= bliss!
Do you just need someone to tell you how to divvy your paycheck so you're actually living life and saving for a better one?

My numero uno evaluation of sushi restaurants is sashimi. How it's cut, and how cold it's served.

The one thing I haven't done at Long Bar is eat, but through service, vibe alone, they merit 4 stars.
Have recently discovered Tuesday night trivia. Good size crowd, good MC, not too drawn out... everything you'd want in a trivia night.

Papaya salad entree was good- possibly one of the better papaya salads i've had in the hood. All downhill from there...
