Make a reservation a week in advance. Enjoy the delicious food (get the pork belly as an appetizer). The sea bass is amazing.
Order the black cod; it melts in your mouth and has amazing flavor. Then ask your waiter to get Lori (Baker) and Jeff (Banker) to sign a copy of the menu for a keepsake!
I'm a meat-lover, but the the veggie burgers here are fantastic. Get it sunny-side on a whole grain bun with a side of zucchini-onion haystack. You'll leave full and satisfied.
Best Chinese food in San Francisco Chinatown. Advanced reservation recommended. You won't be disappointed. Read more.
Romantic non-touristy gem in Russian Hill. Request a table in the front windows and watch the cable cars go by!
Be prepared for a wait, especially during lunch time. All the ramen is great, but my personal favorite is the Katana-Ya Ramen (the fried chicken is the best part!)
A very popular breakfast/brunch spot that is well worth the wait times. Get the French Toast Sampler or Dungeness Crab Benedict and an order of Old Fashion Crumble.
Pretty expensive, but a great spot for a special occasion. Get the risotto as one of your courses (if available) and finish the meal off with the flambe or cheese cart.
A fantastic brunch spot across the Bay with gorgeous views... get there by 11am on weekends to beat the first ferry and the crowds. No reservations accepted.
