I went here for brunch on my 3rd day in town. the breakfast was a little small but delicious. The bloody mary was average, nothing special but eh outdoor seating was just what I was looking for.

I joined CitySearch specifically to warn all potential patrons, specifically women, to avoid this place. I spent New Year's Eve here, as I was invited by friends who had reserved it for the evening, and had a relatively good time, until the end. The bar's decent...kinda small and very small balcony. Drinks are what you'd expect for SF/Mission, minus I asked the bartender for something not much more difficult than a vodka/cran and his reply was "not right now"...you'd think that if drinks are $7-10 a piece, he could make time, but I forgave him seeing as it WAS New Year's Eve. At the end of the night, the steroid raging manbearpig of a bouncer stormed through the bar screaming that ?everyone needs to get the F**K out of the bar!? Well, like most normal people, we took this as our cue to leave. We (my best friend and I..who are 24 year old young women and about 5?3?) walk over to where are coats and purses are, by which time the bouncer had turned around and I guess decided we weren?t moving fast enough (it was maybe 10 seconds after he yelled to the whole bar), grabbed my friend and literally pushed her out of the bar, sans purse. After verbally trying to get the bouncer to understand that all we needed was the purse so that we could leave as he requested, I turned around into the door way to try to get back in so that I could physically retrieve it, but was met with a fist in my face and was knocked to the ground. At this point, I was angry and my friend was bawling outside because, not only did we just get physically abused for no reason, but we still couldn't get her stuff back, so I called the cops. Moral of the story: 1) The bouncer?s name is Mike and he should be fired on the spot. 2) The manager never once came to see what happened, and thus, should be fired on the spot. 3) Women BEWARE. Evidently it?s acceptable for the men in this bar to physically assult women and get away with it. Cons: Getting punched in the face, manhandled, lack of responsibility by management

This place has it all, it loses a star for price, but I love meeting friends here and watch the weird stuff on the wall over a good meal. Pros: outside seating Cons: a little pricey

Knock on wood I've been almost a dozen times and have yet to have a bad experience. They make it look so easy! My only complaint is that it is a little loud inside.

Food - Excellent. Wait Staff - Good. Concept - Unique.. NOTE - must speak quietly. So why the one star? In SF for a semi-annual gathering of my girlfriends (11 of us) from all over the country. We came to the Foreign Cinemna to celebrate my friend's 40th and my 36th birthday. When I my opened my eyes once completing my wish to bl0w out my candle - I see a woman (not a hostess, not a manager - but someone with the restaurant) leaning in over my friend to me and directing my friends and I to quiet down. This... AFTER my friends sang happy birthday and BEFORE I got to bl0w out my candle. WHO DOES THAT?! We weren't overtly loud, no movie was playing (we were inside) and we were dropping about $700 w/o tip on the dinner. I think that should afford my friends and I to sing happy birthday and bl0w out our birthday candles. To be fair - the manager apologized and purchased a round of drinks for the untimely and discourteous manner of her staff. But the deed was done. Great job Foreign Cinemna -- now you have 11 angry women in all parts of the country recounting our experiences to all our friends of your employee's great finesse. Pros: food Cons: staff's ability for good timing

I went here for my birthday and the food was great as well as the service. We sat outside and watched Amelie, it was a perfect evening. My favorite part was the lavender creme brulee, yummy! This place is a must if you live here or are just visiting as well as a great place to take out of town guests. Pros: everything Cons: nothing
