Well worth the trip from downtown to eat and sample the brews. Service was friendly and above average, we wandered in dressed for the walk, and got a great window seat and prompt service. Excellent beer and great food, and very reasonable prices.
Pros: Great beer, food, service

I saw this place on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and when it was time to go to SF on vacation, this place was a must. We did wait about an hour and the place is very small but it was worth every minute. I think it was the best breakfast I had in years. In fact, it trumped Mama's in Washington Square and that is not easy. Recommend for the undecided to go during the week to avoid the crowds. Don't listen to the putz who said it was so-so below me. People would not be waiting up to an hour if it was just so-so.
Pros: Amazing breakfast
Cons: Not many tables

If you are impatient or in a hurry, I'd pass, but you'll be sorry. This was one of the best breakfast spots I've visited. Well worth the 30 minute+ wait to get to the door. Choosing your breakfast will be the hardest part. Food was exceptional in this intimate setting. Service attentive and very friendly. Sally was great (go Kalamazoo!!). Wide selection of fresh breads, fruit, juices and willingness to accomodate fickle palates made the experience worth every penny. Note to the wise, NO CREDIT CARDS! Bring your cash and enough of it because breakfast is not going to be cheap, but you won't regret it.
Pros: Ambience, Best fresh breads

This is a true jewel among restaurants in SF! The Chef is a master of spices. The flavor of every dish was very well balanced but still had a nice exotic touch, very interesting for ones taste buds! The decoration on the ceiling and walls creates a very warm atmosphere. Staff is extremely attentative and friendly, they will explain everything to you, as there may be a few things that one may not be familiar with. Make sure you make a reservation. It is a must while in San Francisco!

There are a lot of bad reviews of Asia De Cuba so I went ready to be disappointed and was pleasantly surprised. We went earlier than normal for us for dinner - around 6:15 instead of the normal 8 or 9 dinner time so perhaps this was why our experience was so nice compared to others...? We were seated immediately, service was wonderful, they had good wine choices and our waiter, James I believe helped us a ton with the menu. We ended up only ordering about half of what we initially thought we would need and he warned us of the HUGE serving sizes and helped us avoid not eating half of our food and also helped to keep our bill to a much more reasonable amout than it would have been for a ton of wasted food. Everything we tried we really liked. Some of the dishes were actually a little too rich for just us, it would have been better if there were one or two other people eating with us to share, but that being said - rich taste is always nice. I was very happy with our meal and hope to be returning soon.
Pros: good service, beautiful decor, yummy food
Cons: pricey - but that should be known before even walking in

I go San Francisco often to visit family and always make sure I head to Q while I'm there. The food is delicious, very unique meals - the kind of food that is not on your average menu. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is eclectic to say the least! To sum it all up, this what makes San Francisco the artsy and beautiful city it is. You need to check it out, you will not be disappointed.

Cafe Andree is one of my favorite restaurants in the city.
Man Ray prints on the tables, bookcases and mirrors, comfortable seating, (never a wait) and friendly service: Kind of like eating in a rich friend's library, without the pretension. Very studiously, I have attended to the menu. It's Tapas-style (I LOVE small things served beautifully). I also love that romantic dining.
I won't complain to you about the Squash Blossom fritters: really unique, crunchy, and delicious. Or, the duck confit salad, or ahi tuna tartare with mango and and avocado: so fresh! The pumpkin, mushroom, marscapone ravioli is unbearably delicious -- large ravioli tucked in creamy sauce. And, I'm hesitant to admit this, should this favored restaurant get busier, but the chocolate cake is to die for! And it's quiet, unassuming, delightful dining.
Cafe Andree is located in the Hotel Rex, a small quaint hotel owned by Joie de Vivre Hospitality -- the name says it all... A joy to live, a joy to eat and drink!
Speaking of which, if you've got time before dinner, go lounge in the bar area (near the hotel check-in).I used to do this all the time when I first moved to the city; one of the best ways to know a city is to visit its hotels. That said, the lounge area has plump sofas and chairs, big tables 1920's style, kind service, and good drinks: perfect for after work drinks, dates, or moments post-shopping on Powell. Sometimes, they have performances in the room to the right, which is perfect if you want some time to lounge. Ahh, the joys of the city!

Zazie's is always worth the wait. Brunch is so good, that I usually end up ordering multiple breakfast items out of pure indecision. The gingerbread pancakes with poached pears and lemon curd are to die for, and on the savory side, the range of poached eggs are cooked to perfection. Unlike most breakfast places that serve food you could cook in your kitchen (if only we all had the energy on a Saturday morning), Zazie's serves up food for a reasonable price that is beyond most people's cooking abilities. Perfectly balanced, fresh, and tasteful, this spot never ceases to satisfy the palate.

One of the busiest places on Haight Street and unfortunately not open for dinner, the pork store cafe has been one of the local favorites since it had opened. Fresh, greasy food!

I usually are not much of a breakfast eater, but was walking by Sears and low and behold there was not a line at all to get into the dining room which is very rare, so I went in and had the best pancakes every. I have never eaten any other meals here as there is alway a long line, as it is right in the middle of the hotel district and lost of tourist eat there
