This previous diner obviously had a bad day...I have been there many many times and it is always good. Being Chinese, I know my food and i love wine so like anywhere, you need to know what to order. Ask the servers and they wil guide you to the signature dishes...The SF Chronicle named it one of the "Top 100 Restaurants" in the BayArea and gave it *** so how bad can it be. The live jazz is free and I even saw Stevie Wonder play there one night a few years back for free and he just jumped on the piano and played for almost two hours...mind blowing experience!
Pros: Great overall experience
Cons: parking is a pain

We went to RoHan Lounge the night before 4th of July, and we had a great time. The ambience is cool. We had a large group of 8 people and the one bartender and one waitress were nice, prompt and best of all the food is good and cheap! The crispy tofu was cooked perfectly and not oily. The vegetable dumplings were a little overdone, but the beef was also terrific. Overall, we were very happy and wish it was closer to where we live!
Pros: food is tasty for a great price
Cons: location

I really enjoy visiting friends at the Matrix. I've been going there for the past few years and actually love it. The staff is great and the music is enjoyable. There isn't to much other to write, but its a wonderful place to meet people.

My friend & I had a great time here recently on a Sunday night. The decor is tasteful with orchids, a cool waterfall/waterwall thing and artful lighting. The bartender was totally friendly, the patrons were all having a nice chill time (late 20s-late 30s) with somebody passing around chocolate for everyone to share. We stayed for a couple hours talking at our table and enjoying the positive vibe. The drinks seemed a tiny bit weak at first, but at $2 a pop we could afford to keep drinking. The doorman was a gentleman, listened to our buzzed chatter and then helped us hail a cab in the rain. I forgot to tip him and feel really bad about it now. Next time, I promise.
Pros: Friendly, great atmosphere, cool drinks
Cons: Parking is tough so consider cabbing it

As a native San Franciscan of over forty years, Tommy's Joint is a place that my dad used to visit as well as myself. A stop over for many celebs during the hay day of the rat-pack and such. This place has all the true ambience of a San Francisco landmark. Oh yes, and the food is terrific! You have not been to San Franciscvo unless you have stopped by Tommy's Joint.
Pros: The exotic menu and terrific service.
Cons: Need to pick anytime outside of peak meal hours.

No one can deny that Top of the Mark is still an amazing place to catch a fancy cocktail and hang out with your suit buddies after a tough days of deal making. Having that said, be ready to strut your stuff; or risk feeling uncomfortable in your own skin.
Pros: Amazing ambience
Cons: Pretentious crowd

You might drive down market street 100 times and wonder about the sign outside this lounge...It says "Love will solve all your problems, Love will only let you down." It was some time before my friends and I decided to venture to this mysterious and alluring nightlife spot, but since we did, we have been going back time and time again. This is an AMAZING place to have a party or do bottle service. The interior is hot. The crowd is hot. The staff is hot. The abiance is hot and romantic...are you getting my drift? It's a change from the regular nightlife that can get somewhat blah. Great music mixed with great cocktails. They also have a variety of performers that come in and do surprise shows. I have seen beatboxers, belly dancers, samba dancers, djembe drummers...I would recommend it.
Pros: great place to celebrate, reasonable prices, very comfy VIP
Cons: parking is 1.5 blocks away, the place can get busy early

Went for brunch the day before Easter...bf had foie gras panini...I had the duck and scrambled eggs on country bread. Both were a-ma-zing.
Vinny (awesome waiter!) gave us great suggestions for drinks to go with and even treated us to a scoop of ice cream after we determined we were too full for dessert. He said "I know you're full, but you HAVE to try this."
Burnt sugar...UNBELIEVABLE. Really out of this world. Vinny was right...I would go back to SF just for that ice cream!
Great experience overall.
Pros: What's not to like?
Cons: Only beer and wine...but we survived

I've been the venue for a couple concerts. Each time I really enjoyed attending. I like the fact you can feel close to the performers no matter where you stand. Plus, you have your pick of a number of vantage points, whether on the floor or on the balcony. Since the place has pictures of past performers all over, I could get a sense of the historical relevance of The Fillmore as a music venue. I'm looking forward to next time I go.
Pros: Historical, personal
