Category: American (New)

Neighbourhood: Union Square

4.0 star rating

How lucky of me to have two very good meals in one day. Dine About Town are often hit or miss but this time I had 2 hits in one single day (Aziza I love you too). I guess the effort I put in researching the restaurants and their DAT menus actually…More »

4.0 star rating
  4/16/2012

How often do you find food that looks amazing, tastes wonderful and does not come with a sumptuous price tag? I was in a foodie photographers' heaven when our server brought out plates after plates of artistically garnished and perfectly color…More »

 3. Citizen's Band

1198 Folsom St
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 556-4901

Category: American (New)

Neighbourhood: SOMA

4.0 star rating
  7/20/2011

At a time when contemporary and innovative cuisine almost always equates to globalization and fusion, a restaurant such as Citizen's Band is rarefied. The dishes are creative yet remained true to its core.

Mac and Cheese - A very interesting take on…More »

I can probably list 10 reasons why you need to dine here but you really only need one.

Keep this in mind if it is your first time dining here - Oyster Bingo.

These lovely baked cheesy oysters are just too scandalous for words. You can order any numbers…More »

Category: American (New)

Neighbourhood: SOMA

4.0 star rating
  11/17/2011

I must confess I had a slight doubt when I made my reservation. I needed a restaurant that could accommodate a larger party for a weekend reunion dinner on a fairly short notice. My options are quite limited. No one I know had dined at Radius. There…More »

Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill

4.0 star rating

It is not hard to understand why The House received so much love. The food here is a happy Asian American love child. Not pretentious. Not being hard to get. Just really down to earth good food that made excellent use of both Asian and American…More »

Los Gatos, CA 95032
(408) 399-6457

Category: American (New)

4.0 star rating
  3/22/2012

I am jealous of people who work near Los Gatos downtown. There are just no shortage of excellent lunch options. Thirteen dollars for a Dungeness Crab Melt or Lobster Roll is really money well spent. These sandwiches are more refined than those from…More »

(408) 970-6104

Categories: American (New), Bars

4.0 star rating
  9/1/2009

Parcel 104 used to be my default special occasion go-to restaurant.

The theme of this restaurant is Farm-Fresh American Fare. Expect to see a slight American twist to your favorite French delicacy. Most of the dishes I have tried are good.…More »

(415) 348-1555

Categories: American (New), Lounges

Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA

4.0 star rating
  7/13/2010

Intriguing start, strong development and surprisingly weak finish. Fifth floor left me feeling I have just watched a movie that rushed to a terribly ending. I like the appetizers and entrees but the desserts were disappointing.

I took 3 bites off…More »

 10. Tarragon Restaurant

140 S Murphy Ave
Sunnyvale, CA 94086
(408) 737-8003
3.0 star rating
  4/13/2010

Picked up a half off Groupon at this restaurant and tried it for the very first time last week. I saw the 3.5 stars reviews on yelp and I thought to myself this is probably just another one of those pretentious new restaurants.

Our dinner started with…More »
