I am very lucky that my husband let me plan a lot of our dining adventures while in San Francisco! I knew that I wanted to do a chef's tasting with a wine pairing. However, I did not want to spend $150 on the tasting menu alone. Thus I decided on…More »

This is one of my favorites. I love that it is hidden on a residential street. The food is always terrific, especially the tortellini with vodka sauce and the calamari. I like the old-school Italian restaurant atmosphere. In a city full of…More »

Completely decadent! This is a great special occasion type restaurant. The food is inventive and fun. I couldn't get enough to the caviar staircase. Aside from being a great presentation, the caviar was just darn good. We had the Chef Tramonto's…More »

Yes it is cramped. But I just love love love this little French restaurant. The food was delicious. Please don't expect a large Cheesecake factory menu! The choices are solid though.

The atmosphere was delightful. I overheard a lady at the table next…More »

My best friend took me here for dinner last night. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, everything was just wonderful. The decor is very funky and a little like what I imagine the inside of a genie bottle looks like :). The food is amazing…More »

I usually hate waiting for brunch, but this place is so worth it. The food is spectacular. I had black bean cakes with eggs and potatoes. They were excellent. The bb cakes had just the right amount of kick to them. The atmosphere is really cute too!
