I've decided to update my review of the W for the following reasons:
This time, the bathroom in my room was dirty upon check-in. I don't mean filthy-dirty, but there were watermarks and scuzz on the vanity, an opened, half-used bottle of body wash…More »

I always knew I loved German beers, but I wasn't aware of how much I liked German food until I came to Suppenküche. Suppenküche!!!!
This place is totally fun. It's got an open, raucous atmosphere that's totally welcoming and lively. Our group of 11…More »

Amazing BLT. Amazing.
There is something you should know about me... and that is my deep and unwavering love of bacon. And I mean all things bacon. Bacon in chocolate, bacon with eggs, bacon and scallops... you get the pic. So it's understandable that…More »

Butter is one of those great late-night spots that you go to when the party's over, but you want to keep going.
We came here after an event where everyone was dressed like they were at the circus. Needless to say, that event was totally crazy, and we…More »
Pizza. Bruscetta. Wine Bar. Sausage.... fried chicken sandwich? I don't really know what Zero Zero's focus and/or theme is, but I like it. The food is damn tasty and they have a huge menu of wines, in addition to a full bar and ample beer selection.…More »

Hog = pork products. Rocks = oysters. Two of my favorite things, kids.
We started with a lovely variety of prosciutto, each serving with its own compliment of fig, melon, or pineapple and some gorgeous flat bread/cracker-y thing. Scrumps. We also had…More »

Conceptually, I dig it. In actuality, it was a mess.
I love sushi, really I do. And I thought this clever way of presenting it as a wrap/burrito would work for me, but it go lost in translation, kids. Because it was as big as a burrito, I wasn't able…More »
I'm having mixed emotions over Bossa Nova. If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would... but here we go with just 3.
Maybe it's because my husbee's family is Brazilian, and I've actually eaten Brazilian food in Brazil, but I found the options at Bossa Nova…More »

Let me save you some time: just don't go here. In a nutshell, the horrible service and lackluster food totally negates the awesomeness of the location and view. With all the fabulous options in Ferry Plaza, there's no need to settle for this place.

So, let us begin... SFO is the 4th LARGEST airport in the world. Did you know that? I had no idea until the sweet, chatty TSA guy told me so. You see, he was chattin' me up in the most friendly way whilst I waited in an extremely long line to go…More »
I'm gonna do it. I am. I'm gonna be naughty and review a chain because this place is so deserving of a review I can't take it anymore. I love Bliss Spa and you should, too.
To make a long story short, my face was a mess. Excuse me: a complete mess.…More »
More than anything else, I just like the sound of 'Tropisueño'. It's fun to say and read and even listen to. Try it - 'Tropisueño' - see?
Ok, so really I've only ever been here for drinks with my colleagues/friends. We're very lucky that it's not only…More »
Do it for the Pho, kids. Do it for the Thai iced coffee. Do it because it's so fresh, so good, so cheap, and wicked filling.
I ran over here for a quick lunch with a foursome and we were in and out in under an hour, belly's full and faces smiling.…More »
If you're looking for brunch in SOMA, look no further, kids: B Bar is the bee's knees, indeed.
Why, you ask? One simple reason: Bottomless Mimosas. Again: Bottomless Mimosas! Raspberry or original, they just keep 'em coming till you yell 'uncle.'…More »

As my dear friend, Benjamin B said, the location of Samovar deserves five stars alone, what with it being a "park-side oasis in downtown SF." Location can be key, and in this case, it is.

You need to go for the Ultimate Spicy Tuna Roll. It's not nearly as scary as it sounds, and it was proooooooobably the best spicy tuna roll I've had in years. Years, people.
