“Even though the "Open" LED sign was turned off, L&D Bistro is actually open. I was the only customer at noon and then it became 1/2 full at 12:30pm. The thing about restaurants with the word "bistro" in the name always puts a smile on my face. It reminds me of the old TV sitcom Three's Company where Jack Tripper owned Jack's Bistro. That show was hilarious. There's none of that wackiness here though. I had the fried shrimp & calamari $13 as my appetizer. That was good. They put a bed of tomato red sauce on the bottom with some capers. It would have been better if there were tarter sauce available. Chef's choice I guess. It was still good. For my entree, I took advantage of the lunch special $14.50, which comes with a beer or a soft drink. My grilled Angus top sirloin steak came out well done'ish, even though I ordered it medium. It is challenging, to say the least, to cook that thin piece of meat right. Regardless, still good. It took about 35 minutes for the entree to come out if you have a limited timed lunch break like I do. You pay at the cashier when you are done, which is more efficient. Service was excellent.“
“I have lived in Brisbane for 3 decades now. When my kids were younger, this was a regular spot for them after school for nachos with everything or for family dinners or occasional weekend breakfast. Since they have grown, I don't go as often, but drop in from time to time. I work long hours, generally getting back to town late, plus my big meal of the day is lunch and I generally don't eat an evening meal. This spot has a lovely atmosphere and Rafael is the nicest/kindest man! As an aside, he is also a wonderful supporter of many of the non-profits in Brisbane, so he is well loved and appreciated by the residents. I stopped in recently and ordered pozole, which I had never had here before. I can vouch for the menudo being great though. To my delight, the pozole was AMAZING!!! The to-go bag was packed with rolled up warm tortillas, a sliced whole lime wrapped in foil and small containers full of chopped up raddish, cabbage, an onion and fresh parsley blend, hot sauce (YUM!) and then chips and fresh salsa/pico de gallo as well. The pozole so knocked my socks off that I went back to get it again, this last Sunday, but he said he had sold out the day before... due to it being a popular order during cold/wet weather. He said he would have some this week, so I stopped in last night and bought two big containers - again, absolutely delicious! I finished a half containter last night and brought the unopened one into work today to share with my coworker, who says pozole is her favorite soup of all time, that her family makes it often as well, and she gave this one high praise and even went back for seconds. I am hoping Rafael keeps this as a regular on his menu as I can see myself ordering this weekly, in bulk, just to have in the fridge for lunch or dinner over a few days. Happy to know easy and friendly access to this deliciousness exists so close to home for me... but it would be worth the drive as well!“
“One of the best pizzas in San Francisco. Very small place with a parklet out front. About 5 individual sized pizzas on offer, with a daily salad special, and two daily desserts. Very casual and unpretentious but the food is glorious. Has thrived for about 25 years.Parking: Challenging. Allow time. Or take Lyft, Uber, or the bus if you can.Wheelchair accessibility: Outside seating is accessible, inside would be a tight squeeze.“
“Mike our server was energetic, friendly, and informative. Really excellent. The food was all delicious and the servings generous. The menu is "Latin American fusion". E.g. arepa de pollo, overflowing with fried chicken, avocado, and other goodies. One of us had the chicken ahi soup and loved it. Another was delighted with his thin sliced beef (under especiales on the menu). We had both the plantain appetizers, which were very different from each other and delicious. Tarta de Alfajores was incredible and the cheesecake also yummy. The decor was interesting and bright. Our only issues were very high noise level at times (but not the whole time) from happy customers' conversations and slightly slow service, which we attributed to the fact the place was completely full (and for which our server apologized, unprompted). We will definitely go back! It's a very small place, and we were unable to reserve online for the time we wanted, but successful in person. I wish I had taken more pictures of the food, but it looked and tasted so good I didn't think of it until dessert.“
“Treating myself to a Friday brunch and couldn’t have picked a better place! I was immediately greeted by a genuinely friendly waitress and there was plenty of seating to pick from. I’m always on the search for a good breakfast sandwich and theirs hit the spot - so good!! I actually really enjoyed the smaller portions because they were so flavorful, didn’t make me feel stuffed, and allowed me to try the doughnut plate too:) Will definitely be back for more!“
“This place is a ridiculous gem of a spot. Rather unassuming from the outside, but inside is a super focused, stylish and capable kitchen turning out a small menu of greatness. It almost goes without saying that this is not grocery store rotisserie chicken. You actually get crispy skin here, non generic seasoning and nosiness throughout. It's also served with fresh mint and cilantro, and all the chimichurri you can stand. The sides are impeccable with next level roasted broccoli and Brussels, both also served with herbs and bright sauces. All wrapped it up with really great service. Date night-level ambiance too! Only thing is you need to be ready for stinky leftovers because the amount of cruciferous veggies (cauliflower, sprouts, broccoli) you can get, but it's worth it.“
“1st time I went, I had seen the price on their online menu. When they rang it up, they upped the price. OK, I told em and accepted they did not set up their website and I learned not to use that pricing.Their Linguine with Clams and pear salad have brought me back a few time. The best Linguine and Clams anywhere.Pacifica is not loaded with good restaurants. Staff is nice, food comes quick and is great for either dine in, or take out.“
“One of the best wine bars in the city! Totally unpretentious, incredibly welcoming, and always a good time. The menu has a few changes regularly and there's ALWAYS a fantastic and varied wine selection. You can tell that every person who works here is passionate and loves what they do, one of the true gems of North Beach.Great spot for a romantic date in the evening, perfect place to chill with friends in the afternoon. Highly recommend the tastings - especially on Wednesdays! If you get a chance to take a class DO IT! You'll learn so much!“
“Fantastic gluten free crust, the vegan cheese was pretty good, perfect amount of sauce. I was hoping for a little more volume of the toppings (I got sausage & green olives), but I know food costs are way up. Overall a really great GF pizza experience.“
“My husband and I really liked it here, came accross it post discovering the bay. We'd walked miles, and fancied some pizza! We chose well.It's a really lovely place, plenty of seating snd they accommodate us walking in on a busy night. The aesthetic is special. All the staff were really great.We had a mix of pizza, with some extra toppings, mozarella sticks and olives. If there's one thing you need, it's the insanely cheesy mozarella sticks! Don't eat here without them.Pizza was really good, crispy and flavoursome. The price is fine considering location, and portion sizes. Would recommend going here!“
“Where has this place been? Nobody (well, most places) knows the struggle of wanting both sweet and savory like they do! If you feel the same, you have to stop by and order the CDMX which has chilaquiles with your choice of meat, a concha french toast with strawberries, and eggs with potatoes- all in one plate. The portion is pretty big and can probably feed two people or one very hungry person. The inside has a homey vibe and is also very clean. Service was super friendly and welcoming.“
“One of the best hot pastrami sandwiches I've had in a long time. Generous amount of meat, good size, with a tasty soft hoagie roll. I only had half of it for lunch. Salt and cinegar potato chips were a great side for it. I also had the potato salad. I am not a mayo person and I did not mind this one. No oily aftertaste, it was great! It also went great with the pastrami. Love the local neighborhood vibe and the super nice ladies that were behind the counter that day. Can't wait to try their other sandwiches!“
“I just came back from San Francisco where I was able to go to “La fromagerie” cheese shop in Chestnut. The products are fabulous. I have never eaten such good cheese in France! The sandwiches are prepared in front of the customer, the products are fresh and delicious. The charcuterie is excellent. Bread too. The shop is run by super friendly and welcoming French people! I recommend +++I already miss their Appenzeller!!!“
“New favorite spot. It's really good quality food, super healthy, and at a great price. The place is very clean and modern on the inside. And the drinks were great. Coming back soon.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. Plenty.“
“Just stopped in for the first time, smiling ear to ear… a Tropisueno just a little closer to home? Had the guacamole, they mix it with tomatillo and tomato, very flavorful and fresh… a red roast pepper salsa, chips are very solid, not too hard, and hold a clean oil well. Flautas came with extra lettuce and a coupe tomatoes, some zesty crème sauce…Very pleased with the happy hour portions, price… will be looking forward to the next time, already want to go back :)“
“Located in the safe, clean and lively Castro area, this was an amazing finish to our day. If you're craving fresh, quality ?, American Italian food, big portions and a dinning room with a ton of character The Sausage Factory is a sure bet for a great dinner. In a world of restaurants serving swill and disappointment, The Sausage Factory is easy on your budget and will leave you satisfied for sure.“
“It was such a wonderful and enjoyable experience. Roger and the rest of the staff are incredibly loving and friendly. We could not have asked for a more memorable experience. Thank you so much for making us feel so loved and cared for!Ask for the sushi bar seats - you will not regret it! It is your very own omasake experience, but better because in addition to really good sushi, you get to enjoy Roger's company. Highly recommend the aged tuna, Norwegian mackerel, and Wagyu nigiri! Also, make sure to leave some room for their in-house ice cream and desserts!“
“I've been to Macondo a few times, and have loved the food every time. We decided to do a bulk order for my daughter's 2nd birthday, as the hand-held nature of the food and delicious flavors seemed like it would be a fun and easy option. Constanza (who I believe is the owner) was very accommodating and easy to work with. We ordered an array of baked and fried empanadas, several different arepas, and salad. I love that the vegetarian options still have a ton of texture and flavor. One of our guests stated that it was the best toddler party food they had every eaten :)The party was a few days ago, and I've already been back for some more empanadas!My favorites:- baked beef+potato empanada- fried birria empanada- bahn mi arepa- colombianisima arepa- Macondo saladVegetarian options: The salads are delicious and vegetarian, along with tasty options such as the mushroom empanada, veggie arepa, and tofu arepa.“
“This was a real gem. Inside this cozy , authentic French bistro , get brought right to Paris! We enjoyed authentic dishes, extremely attentive and charming service , and had a lovely dinner pre- Cirque de Soleil at Oracle Park. Tasty dinner and impeccable service. I'll schlep from Oakland to come again and again . Truly great experience .“
“Best sandwiches in San Francisco. The daily specials are my favorite. The flavor combinations are so creative and incredibly delicious. Their classic tomato soup is wonderful, and the perfect addition to any sandwich. Service is always friendly. I would order from them every day if I could.“
“Thinner crust than typical NY style but the dough is absolutely perfect, with just the right amount of airiness, chew, and char. (Not crackery in the least bit.) Slices are easy to hold in one hand. Flavors are absolutely spot on no matter which combo you get. I leave delighted and impressed every time I come here. Best pizza in the city as far as I'm concerned, and I've tried a lot!“
“Super good diner experience in the city! Great countertop and small booths vibes, super friendly service and tasty food. I got the Irish breakfast, it was my first time trying Irish bacon and sausage, and it was super tasty. Funnily enough, it seemed like more people were getting breakfast than hamburgers here.“
“I have been grabbing pizza from here from time to time and they never failed to make a great 4-cheese white sauce pizza. Reminds me of what my mom picked up back in North Carolina when I was a kid. Ordered on the phone today and the guy accidentally heard “Portuguese” instead of 4 Cheese. They had both on the menu, I had no idea so I felt bad! Thankfully he did not charge for another pizza and actually upgraded me to a bigger size. He let me try the Portuguese slice too. Great place, food, and service!!“
“If the breakfast sandwich at Iggy's were a movie, it could win an Oscar and all the ingredients would be nominated in their categories. The romantic lead must be the roast pork, mildly seasoned with "Middle Eastern ingredients," the man behind the counter said. Za'atar? Harissa? You got me. The love interest would be the eggs, lightly stirred and perfectly rendered. The wise 3rd party who keeps their relationship together would be the Rize Up Sourdough, a find in itself, perfectly toasted, soft in parts and crunchy in others. Arugula, tomato, red onion, and aioli round out the cast and each one hits a note of perfection. I'm only sad because I'm too full to eat another one right now. Not that it matters but the service is super-professional. They could throw the food at me from a passing Segway and I'd be back. Both the man who took my order and brought it out to me, and the owner Anna, checked in to see how things were. Why is it that when there's a problem no one checks, and when things are perfect, someone asks? (I know why). Also great ambiance, a quiet table outside on a beautiful spring day in our city. Some vintage easy soft jazz on the speakers, the song that played as I downed the last bite was Johnny Mathis' "Stairway to the Stars." He grew up just blocks from Iggy's. Coincidence, or just a perfect harmonic convergence? Go get an Iggy's breakfast sando and you be the judge.“
“Stopped by this place for coffee and was pleasantly surprised. Breakfast bagel sandwiches were amazing and he can make it with whatever you please. I had egg, avocado, and cheese on Asiago and my husband had egg, bacon, cheese, veggies, with slight spice. We loved them both. Coffee was good with lots of variety. Best of all he was very nice and accommodating as we were just visiting from out of town. Highly recommended!“
“Unique salads, healthy ingredients and quite large portions. You should empty the container into a larger dish at home and stir the ingredients well.My favorite is the Vibrant salad, which has an outstandingly complex flavor mix. I still usually add the excellent lentil balls“
“Napizza is one of my favorite “go-to” restaurants in SF.Their quality of food is 10/10.Their service and attentiveness is 10/10.Their wine list is a 10/10 (primarily Italian reds).I have brought many friends from out of town and guests here to eat, as its ambiance is one of coziness, its intimate (in terms of its size), and fun (they tend to play music towards the evening depending on the crowd / customer vibe).Do go check it out, and don’t hold back on trying different things on their menu!P.s. I love their Caesar salad + anchovies“
“A bite of Paris in the heart of Downtown SF. Breads are fresh, meats are plenty, and the love in the preparation of the food is felt at each table. The menu was as joy to browse over to see what I will come back to get next. Thank you Chef Michael for the wonderful meal!“
“Can't find a better sandwich.Any other sandwich chain only scores 1 or 2 compared.The roast beef was tender, thinly sliced, the onion jam sauce so delectable, the bun was perfect. Been years since I've had a sandwich meal that surpassed the taste of Q's.It's an 11.“
“This is my favorite place to get my Korean food fix in SF. Every time I come, the food is consistently delicious! The staff are friendly but leave you to enjoy your meal. Food comes out quick and fresh and hot! The banchan is plentiful. It takes me two busses or a train and a bus to get here from my house, and it is worth every minute of the journey.“
“This is the place for a quick bite if your in the area. Fresh bread plenty of meat. I like turkey and ham together. This place is on point. There is not a lot of memorable eating spots I have in the bay but this is one of the few I really enjoyed“
“Met with friends at Los Feliz golf course. We came into Morrison for a quick bite and a beer. We are so happy we came in. We come to this place a lot because it's the best pub in Los Angeles. I had the spicy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. We worked with the amazing Danielle. She was super attentive and is one of the best servers I've ever had. We had Don Julio 1942 for 10$ a shot!! Thank you so much, we will be back soon!“
“A great little gem in a bustling historic location. Great to sit at a little table in the plaza and watch the people and pigeons! Friendly and prompt service. Drip coffee was fresh and hot. High-lite was the tasty croissant breakfast sandwich. Made fresh on the spot and not reheated like most cafes. Lots of toppings and options - next time I’ll try a veggie bagel sandwich!“
“Cute little place a bit off the beaten path. Ordered the Morrocan Rice with Kefta and caramelized onions and a side of hummus. The Kefta was delicious with the caramelized onions seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg (?). Really good. The tangy side salad was a nice counter-point to the Kefta. The hummus was top drawer and sprinkled generously with paprika. The only disappointment was the pita which was a bit dry and appeared (and tasted) "store bought." Taking off a star for that. If you're serving this type of food, you can't fumble something as basic and central as the pita bread. Aside from that little fail, very good.“
“As a pizza connoisseur, when I heard about Roman style pizza, 'pinsa', with a different dough, I was immediately curious. As they note on their website, pinsa dough is made from a combination of soy flour, rice flour, and wheat flour, creating a crust that is light yet crunchy and satisfying.We ordered the Formaggio di Capra e Spinaci for some greens to go with, and then got the Quattro Formaggi and Prosciutto e Fichi for our pinsas.I find salads from pizza places to be very hit or miss; and Gusto Pinsa's salad was certainly a hit. The salad was perfectly dressed - it had a ton of flavor with the dressing, tomatoes, goat cheese, cranberries and walnuts coming together to provide an interesting textural contrast, with a nice hit of black pepper.The pinsas were the star of the meal though, as expected. Although I'm not the biggest fan of cheese only pizzas, the Quattro Formaggi was excellent! It was super cheesy and salty (in the perfect way), and the splotches of sauce provided nice balance to the saltiness of the cheese.The Prosciutto e Fichi was the preferred pinsa by myself and my partner, with the prosciutto and fig glaze providing a nice saltiness and sweetness that contrasted very well with the Quattro Formaggi.If you haven't tried Roman style pinsa yet, what are you waiting for? These pinsas were delicious and somehow felt much lighter than eating a regular pizza. We will be back!“
“Ordered the Shake your bahn bah sandwich which comes with a mixed salad, was well made and delicious. Bread was toasted beautifully!Also ordered the shrimp po-boy wrap, which also came with a mixed salad. Wrap was ok, should've substituted the wrap for bread as in the banh banh, would have been much tastier. The salad was great, really liked the house dressing.“
“Tasty authentic ramen. Lovely staff. Serves alcohol, but it's not on the menu, so make sure you ask. Know that when you choose meat, you'll only get one type (i.e. fuku chicken karaage ramen does not come with pork from the base, which is not clear on the menu). Would come back again.“
“Absolutely fantastic sandwiches! Huge selection of breads, meats, cheeses etc and they have a vegan salami which is delicious! Plus they offer a vegan mayo for no additional charge. It can be a little overwhelming, just take your time - the board tells you everything. If you go at lunch on a weekday expect a line but the workers are super nice and fast. And of course there's not anywhere to sit inside - this is a deli! Just take your sandwich and be happy Highly recommend if you're in the area.“
“Amazing food with options that meet different tastes.Their burgers are so tasty and their sandwiches as well.I love their packaging has a minimal use of plastic.There's an indoor seating area which is a bit noisy but outside the terrace is just perfect, good luck finding a table when it's busy! ;)“
“Really good bagels, not exactly NYC style, they're their own delicious thing. PRO TIP: preorder from his online shop in the week that leads up to skip the line.Highly recommend the trout rillete when he's doing sandwiches.The proprietor is also just a great guy and writes an amusing/heartfelt weekly newsletter about the tribulations of a baker.“
“I love Valencia Street restaurants, so this one has always been on my bucket list. Luckily, it did not disappoint! Super cute seating outside with the lights and solid pizza to satisfy a craving. As an appetizers, we got the butternut squash arancini ($13.50), which were unique to me with good flavor and texture. For pizzas, we shared the Burrata Red Pie ($24) and Clam White Pie ($24). I enjoyed the clam one more because it was more special and did a great job capturing the flavor. The pizzas are a bit pricey for the size, but I say that as someone from the east coast who has just never gotten used the pizza prices here. I still prefer some pizza spots in North Beach more, but I really enjoyed the different toppings and options here!“
“Took a flight to San Francisco and was starving. Walked around before deciding on proper Food. Had the chicken pozole and fresh yogurt.I was too brown to speak! the Pozole was actually good and not offensive to my ancestors. The yogurt Greek yogurt was just the way to end this visit to the airport. It’s a must try for me.“
“I got the Rib Eye Pizza. It's very tasty, the jalapeño omg to die for. If you are looking for something new on your pizza toppings, this one is definitely a must to try. The potatoes & mushrooms with garlic and pepper are delicious.“
“Great staff, super accommodating and my super burrito was delicious (definitely had a Mediterranean flair...yum!) Appreciate the care that they had for me especially since I was riding out a power outage a couple blocks away. Would definitely come back!“
“We ordered the paneer tikka masala and the veg chilli momos. Both were good, but the Momo portion was small. Order something else with the Momo as it is not enough for one person. Parking is a nightmare, if you are not a local, plan your parking with care.Vegetarian options: Veg chilli momo, veg steam Momo, daal, veg pakoda, paneer chili , daal makhani, saag tofu (vegan option)“
“You can’t find a better place for bruschetta, paninis and very flavorful salads! There are so many choices. The food is not too heavy, yet very filling even for a manly appetite. Food preparation is consistent year after year.The bar menu is progressively being updated and now includes more than the robust wine menu that has always been available.Unassuming atmosphere. Good music in the evenings on the weekend. Nice covered back patio. Good space for parties.Very hard working owner and staff. There is very little turnover.Try it!“
“I picked up the Gotti sandwich today. The chef is definitely not shy with the food here. Sandwich was seasoned and super tasty I can't wait to come back and try another one. I finished half of it shared the other half of my friend and then ate his half wow great value.The staff is also fabulous which just rounds out the experience and makes me want to come back.“
“Really great pizza with a crispy, chewy crust cooked to perfection (got that "leoparding" as the pizza geeks call it) and a bunch of different pies ranging from traditional NY style to a great looking lamb and sumac topping we'll be back to try. We also had SUCH a great cheesecake for dessert. And, the wine list is well appointed with great notes on every glass and bottle, the espresso coming out with our neighbors' dessert smelled great, and the folks working here were soooo nice and so fast to swing by the table to ask if we needed anything. Cozy and friendly inside, full of cheerful locals - a great place for a Saturday date or a quick meal on a weeknight. Maybe my new #1 favorite pizza place in SF. We'll be back over and over!“
“Go there!! Best restaurant for noodlesoup Ive ever been! Amazing homemade iceatea with just the perfect amount of sugar and lemon. Im travelling a lot and thats one of the most authentic and best restaurants Ive ever visited. So much enjoyed, also kids, because you can spice up yourself... 6 stars!!!!“
“Great place to get a quick bite to eat like a sandwich, soup of the day or some pastries. Also a nice place just to take a break and have lunch.Vegetarian options: They serve different kinds of salads.Wheelchair accessibility: Enough room to accommodate.“
