Right where Richmond begins is a new restaurant called Shabu Pub, with impressive hours until 2 AM. All you can drink and eat — I looked forward to trying it out and found it to be an utter disappointment on all levels. Don’t even bother with it.
Located in the NOPA district of San Francisco, Mojo Bicycle Cafe serves up coffee and beer/wine — but also has a surprisingly delicious menu of sandwiches.
SF Gate, via TownHog, is offering a $15 for $30 (50% off) coupon for what I know to be the best pho in San Francisco. Twelve hours remain to this deal; maximum is two coupons per person!
In the Outer Richmond is a gem of a restaurant serving up what is perhaps the SECOND best Shanghai Dumplings in the city, next to Yank Sing. Then again, when you name your restaurant “Shanghai Dumpling King”, I guess you best be good at it!
Lucca Deli joins the massive group of American people and companies contributing to help out our neighbors in Japan! Thank you to Linda and the team at San Francisco’s Lucca Deli!
Japan needs help — NOW. Please donate to make a difference, and help the great country rebuild.
Chapeau! Don’t ask; just go. It is easily the very best French food in the city, with a stellar chef, fantastic ambiance, and good service. Stocked with a full bar, make sure to begin your night with a Laphroaig before moving onto their great wine list.
Okina is a small Japanese restaurant that is simple to miss from the outside. Opened only from Thursday to Sunday, the restaurant is a two-person joint offering fresh fish, albeit a small selection. There is nothing on the menu that offers cooking — you come here for the sushi, and that’s it.
How one of my favorite restaurants plummets not just to the bottom of my list, but entirely OFF my list — I will never understand. Everything about this dining experience was sub-par and the only thing impressive about Valentine’s Day at Range was the mediocrity of it all.
Romantic and quaint, La Ciccia is a Noe Valley restaurant serving up Italian fare from Sardinia. Combining spaghetti with bottarga, a fish roe, this restaurant is one that everyone should try to get a glimpse into Southern Italian cooking.
