Some of the best (and worst) places we've hit in San Francisco.

 1. The House

1230 Grant Ave
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 986-8612

Categories: Asian Fusion, American (New)

Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill

4.0 star rating
  2/12/2012

The House may very well be the upset winner of our recent San Francisco trip. Asian fusion can really be a question mark of a category, but this place nailed it.

We came here for lunch, and just to be safe, called ahead to get a reservation. We were…More »

 2. Sotto Mare

552 Green St
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 398-3181

Categories: Seafood, Italian

Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill

4.0 star rating
  2/11/2012

We strolled into Sotto Mare at 6:30 on a Friday night and managed to land the last two counter seats. Lucky us!

We started out with a half dozen west coast oysters. At only $1.50, these oysters were amazing, as we probably should have ordered more,…More »

 3. Sushi Zone

1815 Market St
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 621-1114

Categories: Sushi Bars, Japanese

Neighbourhoods: Hayes Valley, Mission

4.0 star rating
  2/12/2012

After reading all of the reviews citing 2.5 hour wait times and not complaining, we had to give Sushi Zone a try. We got here at 6:00 sharp and put our name on the list. For those of you who haven't been to Sushi Zone before, putting your name on the…More »

 4. Molinari Delicatessen

373 Columbus Ave
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 421-2337

Categories: Sandwiches, Delis, Meat Shops

Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill

4.0 star rating
  2/19/2012

We have been to Molinari a few times now, and it is a consistent winner. The first time, we stopped in around breakfast during a stroll down Columbus to pick up some prosciutto (Parma). These guys know what they're doing--the fat was meticulously…More »

 5. Swan Oyster Depot

1517 Polk St
San Francisco, CA 94109
(415) 673-1101

Categories: Seafood, Seafood Markets

Neighbourhood: Nob Hill

4.0 star rating
  2/10/2012

Swan Oyster is the first place we always hit after landing at SFO. In previous years, we've waited in the line (sometimes well over an hour) to grab counter seats. This time around, we got our food to go. It still took some time to get our food, but…More »

 6. Liguria Bakery

1700 Stockton St
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 421-3786

Category: Bakeries

Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill

3.0 star rating
  2/12/2012

This is a good, no-frills place to get some solid foccacia, if you don't mind the somewhat cold reception that you may receive from the people behind the counter.

Over our last few trips, we've tried the mushroom, the pizza, and the rosemary garlic…More »

 7. Tartine Bakery

600 Guerrero St
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 487-2600

Category: Bakeries

Neighbourhood: Mission

3.0 star rating
  2/19/2012

Tartine is one of those places that my wife is dying to visit every time we visit SF.

No matter what time we seem to go, there is always a line out the door and no place to sit. However, like magic, no sooner do we order our food than a couple of…More »

 8. San Tung Chinese Restaurant

1031 Irving St
San Francisco, CA 94122
(415) 242-0828

Category: Chinese

Neighbourhood: Inner Sunset

3.0 star rating
  2/18/2012

This is an interesting northern Chinese/Korean joint, that is very different than the hundreds of other Chinese spots that dot the city.

We started off with an order of shrimp and leek steamed dumplings. They were pretty good, though perhaps a little…More »

 9. In-N-Out Burger

333 Jefferson St
San Francisco, CA 94133
(800) 786-1000

Categories: Fast Food, Burgers

Neighbourhood: Fisherman's Wharf

2.0 star rating
  2/12/2012

In-N-Out Burger is a religion. Millions choose to fall in line, while a smaller subset beat the drum with fervor. I happen to be a non-believer, so this review may or may not be for you, depending on your degree of indoctrination :)

I'll start off by…More »

 10. Fresca

2114 Fillmore St

(415) 447-2668

Categories: Tapas Bars, Peruvian

Neighbourhood: Pacific Heights

2.0 star rating
  2/13/2012

We were pretty disappointed with Fresca. Great atmosphere, but really mediocre food.

We started out with a trio of ceviche. This was a mixed bag. The 5 elementos had a nice flavor, but a few pieces of halibut tasted off (fishy). The pasion and chino…More »
