1. Da Flora-A Venetian Osteria
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 981-4664
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
I've been fantasizing about Da Flora for years; we finally went for my birthday last weekend (my bf used to be a regular but hadn't been in years). And the place did not disappoint. You will be hard-pressed to find better, more authentic Italian…More »
2. Comstock Saloon
Come for the cocktails; stay for the food!
Based on reports from friends, I was expecting the cocktails to be fantastic (which they were). The list is short, but everything we had was fantastic! Plus, there's always the option of The Bartender's…More »
3. Saha
I didn't have anything here that I wasn't blown away by. The 3-course prefixe for $40 is definitely the way to go, and it's a fantastic value.
Don't remember what all I tasted off of everyone else's plates, but I was super impressed by all 3 of my…More »
4. Pancho Villa Taqueria
Brace yourself. Panco Villa is the Mission burrito to end all Mission burritos. I might go so far as to say that you haven't had a Mission burrito till you've had a Pancho burrito.
Maybe it's the other-worldly rice. Maybe it's the wide selection of…More »
5. Little Star Pizza
Little Star now takes plastic.
My life is complete. :)

This is where I go when I want utterly fantastic, unspeakably tasty deep-dish pizza. Having never… Read more »
6. Tartine Bakery
Pro - I can walk there.
Con - I can walk there. Grrr...
Tartine is another one of those reasons why I'll never be a six-minute miler. Because holy Jesus, everything there is insanely delicious, and it's all I can do to limit myself to one trip a…More »
7. Beretta
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 695-1199
I have a new favorite drink at Beretta -- the Mother Theresa. It doesn't appear to be on the menu posted online, and now I've waited too long to write this so I've forgotten what was in it. But damn. That one's the new shit.

I have only been here to eat twice, and the food was excellent both times. The first time we had… Read more »
8. NOPA
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 864-8643
Categories:
American (New),
Modern European
Neighbourhood: Western Addition/NOPA
Not that NOPA needs reviewing...but still.
We walked in around 8 on a Tuesday evening. There was a 30-45 minute wait for a table, but we hung out at the bar having cocktails while we waited & ended up getting two seats there in maybe 20 minutes.

9. Mo's Grill
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 788-3779
Categories:
Burgers,
American (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Mo's & Big Mouth are in a constant battle for the #1 spot in my red-blooded American heart that's reserved for Best Good-Ol'-Fashioned American burger, at least in SF. True, I get to Big Mouth more often because it's walkable, but Mo's is the…More »
10. Maverick
We went back for a friend's dinner birthday last night, and dinner was every bit as tasty as brunch earlier this year!
For appetizers -
Crab puffs were some of the tastiest I've had. This is what cooked crab should taste like! The fresh cucumber on…More »

Pricey, but absolutely worth it. Not a single complaint.
We went for brunch, and started with the… Read more »
11. Radius
Uh. Mazing.
We finally made it out here on a Savored coupon (score!). I just don't even know where to start.
Great appetizers. Try the Ocean Trout Crudo, or the Pork Belly & Farm Egg, or the Pan Seared Calamari (I could've eaten buckets of that). If…More »
12. Thermidor - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 896-6500
Categories:
Seafood,
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin, SOMA
And again....I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place.
Sigh. And yet again, it's been long enough that my memory about what we had is fuzzy. (Which just means we have go back, right? :) )
We went to Thermidor with a Savored coupon. Yes please!…More »
13. Incanto
Three words: Leg. Of. Beast. Seriously; Jesus. Among the best meals I've had in my life.
First, a few caveats, which it looks like account for the vast majority of one- and two-star ratings:
1) The food is heavy, by and large. If you're looking…More »
14. Dosa on Valencia
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 642-3672
Categories:
Indian,
Gluten-Free
Neighbourhood: Mission
Was looking for my review for Dosa & realized I've never reviewed it. WHAAAA??
I'll be honest. It's been a few weeks since we were there, so I've forgotten a lot of the details. But what I do remember is that we walked in randomly around eight on a…More »
15. Garibaldi's
San Francisco, CA 94115
(415) 563-8841
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Laurel Heights
Just fantastic, on every count.
Three of us went for dinner since it was within walking distance of our friend's place, not really knowing much about it. (We had no trouble getting an 8:30 reservation for the same night.) We were immediately seated…More »
16. Another Monkey
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 241-0288
HOLY JESUS!!
My 2 year search for a new go-to Thai establishment since Osha went downhill is over.
We went here on Saturday night for dinner and could not have been happier. We walked in around 8:30 or 9 & were seated right away. To start, we had…More »
17. Fresca
We walked in on a Friday around 8:15 & were seated almost right away at the oyster bar (we would have had to wait about half an hour for a table since we didn't have a reservation). I was rather impressed by the atmosphere / décor (dim, cozy,…More »
18. Limón Rotisserie
I actually feel a little bad giving Limon only 4 stars - realistically, 4.5 is probably fairer, giving how amazing how many things about our dinner were.
We started with the "Limon" ceviche (fish, calamari, and shrimp) and the Empanadas de Carne…More »
19. Anchor & Hope
Sustainable seafood in the Soma area with a nautical theme (maps, ropes, fish murals). An enormous high-ceiling room with concrete floors & exposed wooden beams, & a bar that runs almost the length of the front of the house.
Enormous beer menu & a…More »
20. Prospect
We really enjoyed just about everything we had at Prospect. Initially we'd been meaning to go for the cocktails, but it turned out the food was spectacular as well.
The look of the place shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with Boulevard, as Prospect…More »
21. Ali Baba's Cave
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 863-3054
Categories:
Fast Food,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Mission
One of my top late-night picks for quick, cheap delicious Middle Eastern. I usually get the chicken shawarma, which is extremely tasty (and enormous - I usually only eat half of it in a sitting), but I've also had the veggie plate and don't remember…More »
22. Kan Zaman
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 751-9656
Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
My only regret was that we weren't here on a belly dancing night. However, we had some really yummy small plates, including spicy sausage, some little feta cheese cakes, and some of the better hummus I've had. We also had the warm spiced wine,…More »
23. Valencia Pizza & Pasta
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 642-1882
Categories:
Pizza,
Italian,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mission
I go here for brunch when the wait at Boogaloo's is too long. Also all the best brunch comfort foods (pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, omelets, etc.), but at about two-thirds the price of Boogaloo's. (Recently we had two full…More »
24. Rosamunde Sausage Grill
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 970-9015
Categories:
Hot Dogs,
Bars,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mission
It's been a while since I visited the original, but we stopped by for a late lunch / early dinner today, which reminded me of how much I enjoyed the one next to Toronado.
Pros:
- Spacious! And I love the hunting lodge-esque decor.
- All the classic…More »
25. Sushi Delight
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 621-3622
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Hayes Valley
In terms of tastiness-to-price ratio, Sushi Delight is the best I've found so far in the city (ie, yes, you can get better sushi, but it's disproportionately more expensive, and yes, you can get cheaper sushi, but it's disproportionately less yummy).…More »
26. Kiji Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 282-0400
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Mission
Higher-end sushi than Sushi Delight (which is my usual go-to late-night sushi joint), but also significantly more expensive. To be fair, though, I think the portions were also a bit bigger. I really enjoyed Kiji - we had excellent specimens of all…More »
27. Marcello's Pizza
Marcello's is to New York style pizza what Little Star is to Chicago style. Another one of my favorite late-night stops for greasy, floppy, cheesy, garlicky, CHEAP tastiness. I love their sun-dried tomato and spinach, and they make a pesto pizza…More »
28. Boogaloos
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 824-4088
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Mission
This is my go-to weekend brunch spot when the wait's not too long. They have all the requisite brunch comfort food (pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, omelets, etc) in just about every conceivable combination, and also some more unique…More »
29. Pizzeria Delfina
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 437-6800
Been wanting to write up Pizzaria Delfina for a while now, but it had been a few months since I'd eaten there, so out of fairness I really felt I needed to refresh my memory before reviewing it. We went again yesterday evening, so I'm ready to go.
…More »
30. Big Mouth Burger
Not the best burgers I've had in the city, but damn close, and DEFINITELY the best within walking distance. Burgers are enormous, cooked to order (as in, medium rare actually comes medium rare), exceptionally tasty, and vegetables look and taste…More »
31. Kasa Indian Eatery
We've started referring to it as "the Indian taqueria." For the best deal, get a couple of the roti -- a tortilla-like flatbread that they'll fill with your choice of meat / cheese / vegetable fillings and sauce. Two of them totally fill me up, &…More »
32. Tony's Pizza Napoletana
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 835-9888
We finally got around to going! A pretty broad selection of pasta & pizzas of various styles, & also an impressive bar for a pizza place.
A 45 minute wait for 5, but the hostess took our number & we wandered down to Tony Nik's for a cocktail, so it…More »
33. The Alembic
San Francisco, CA 94117
(415) 666-0822
Categories:
Bars,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
I've been waiting to go here for quite a while, and wasn't disappointed! :)
Firstly, though it's small, the place has a very cool "old modern" feel to it -- dimly lit, dark wood & iron, elaborate gear-and-pully rigs adorning odd corners (very Baroque…More »
34. Pakwan
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 255-2440
Another fantastic late-night option, and conveniently located as to make it a good pre / post-drinking option.
Pakwan is to Indian as Sushi Delight (Market & Duboce) is to sushi: You can get better, but it's disproportionately more expensive, and you…More »
35. Udupi Palace
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 970-8000
Categories:
Indian,
Vegetarian,
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Mission
This little South Indian place opened a couple of years ago on the site of the old Firecracker Chinese place (rest in peace, Firecracker :-( ). Just a few doors down from Dosa, which is perhaps slightly better quality, but Udupi Palace is waaaay…More »
36. Cha-Ya Vegetarian Japanese Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 252-7825
Categories:
Japanese,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Mission
We've been meaning to get around to checking out Cha-Ya for a while; finally, during one of the mini heat waves that swept the city in the past few weeks, we made it over.
I tend to be a bit skeptical about vegetarian places, not because I have…More »
37. Velvet Cantina
Finally! A chance to try the food. And I have to say, I wasn't disappointed.
Allow me to proceed chronologically.
First came the chips and salsa. Bravo, chips! Homemade, piping hot, thick, crispy, & with just the right amount of salt. Salsa was…More »

38. Zaytoon Wraps
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 824-1787
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Mission
We've been here for dinner several times since they opened and have been pretty pleased. We already knew the staff was super-friendly; our first experience with the food was a few weeks before they opened, when a couple of the guys propped the door…More »
39. SPQR
San Francisco, CA 94115
(415) 771-7779
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Lower Pac Heights, Pacific Heights
We went for brunch this weekend. Delicious!
We started with mimosas and spritzers. The mimosa was excellent, and the blood orange spritzer was a fabulous non-alcoholic option.
Butternut squash soup with kale was AMAZING. Thick, rich, and creamy with…More »
40. B3 - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 401-7258
Yum! Will definitely be back!
We stopped in last night for burgers & wine. First, bravo for selling tastes! I'm a big fan of tastes because I have commitment issues when it comes to selecting wine to go with dinner. We noted that most of the…More »

Why You Should Read My ReviewsI eat out at a lot of places in the Bay Area. And I have excellent grammar. :)
