“I don't want this turning into some crazy hot spot, but you should go there! Amazing sandwiches and other bites, a pool table in better shape than at least the nearest 5, AND just a good low key vibe that's makes for an awesome brunch!Vegetarian options: Enough choices and options you'll find food there I'm sureDietary restrictions: Enough choices and options you'll find food there I'm sureWheelchair accessibility: Typical front door access and ada bathroom“
“I was coming out of a medical appointment feeling peckish since I didn't want to eat before being weighed like a heifer. I was walking on Geary when I was passing by the ultra-stylish StayPineapple, one of those hotels that make you feel underdressed if you're wearing Dockers. Gee, I guess my leather pants were at the cleaners. Regardless, they let me sit at one of their cafe tables where I noticed they offered $6.50 breakfast sandwiches.That sounded like a deal. I decided on the Turkey Sausage, Egg and Cheese Muffin which consisted of whole eggs, turkey sausage, provolone cheese, and a sourdough English muffin (photo: bit.ly/3sizwgS). Yep, it was a Sausage McMuffin but on the higher end of the quality scale. Besides, the coffee was good (photo: bit.ly/3gw3YRV). I also learned from my plate that "Stressed spelled backwards is dessert". It's an important life lesson to pick up at a hotel.FOOD - 4 stars...a higher class Sausage McMuffinAMBIANCE - 4 stars...it's a cool looking lobbySERVICE - 3.5 stars...polite but not that available TOTAL - 4 stars...a good deal in an unexpected placeRELATED - Exploring the Tenderloin?

“We had a lovely evening here, service was friendly, food was great (we had the steak, roast chicken and pasta - the kitchen was kind enough to give the kids second helpings of the pasta as they loved it so much) and we enjoyed a beer and wine along with the meal. Great atmosphere and some quirky trinkets about the place made it a most enjoyable evening.“
“Clam chowder from here is always tasty with same consistency. We also tried crab chowder which had peculiar taste. The view from upper floor is good but if you are there just to taste clam chowder don’t go upstairs. You might end up paying extra.“
“I was a huge fan of Delirama, my absolute favorite sandwich was the Delirama Mama, so I was sad to hear the owner was going to pivot in a new direction. I prefer take out to dining in, so I waited for that to be an option, and put my order in today. I got a fried chicken sandwich and the pastrami Reuben, both with chips. The menu says a small salad is served with the sandwiches.The fried chicken sandwich is HUGE and delicious. I prefer my fried chicken to be a little on the dark side, which this was. I only wished there were more pickles, but that's because if I could subsist on pickles I would.The Reuben was the same as the Delirama one. My husband was bummed it was "so small," but that's because I used to get the biggest sandwich option and this one is the regular sized one.The chips were yummy, and still warm from the fryer by the time I got home. Or had just taken on some of the radiant heat from my sandwich. Either way, delightful.The salad is not small, it is quite generous in size. The dressing is a little sweet and a lot acidic, which I really enjoyed. My one complaint is that it was overdressed for me, but I prefer the minimum amount of dressing.I gave the atmosphere 4 stars because it was a bit dark inside for me.“
“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.“
“L'Ardoise is an absolutely charming French bistro in a residential area, an easy block or so walk from the Market-Sanchez muni/bus stop. The food was simply wonderful from start to finish. Appetizers: tiger prawn ravioles and escargot in crispy potato cups. Entrees: coq au vin and duck leg confit. Desserts: Valrhona chocolate fondant and floating island (meringue) in caramel sauce with creme anglaise. Lovely wine selection to go along with anything you choose. Our server, Raoul was truly kind, helpful, and attentive without being over-solicitous. You really should make reservations, but if you're in the area, stop in and give it a shot--they also do takeaway, if you can't get a seat. ALL the stars to L'Ardoise!!“
