I have eaten at Chiaroscuro on several occasions and have always found the food exceptionally good and the service impeccable. The menu changes frequently so it is always nice to find out what is new. The pastas are delicious and there are always great variations, like the paper thin lasagna with various fillings. I also like their choice of desert and the chocolate souffle is to die for.
The service is always great. The waiters are attentive and friendly. I feel really well taken care of when I stop by for dinner. The decor is also unusual and very appealing with an interesting contrast between the concrete interior and the warm candle lights. Just a great place to have a delicious and fairly priced dinner!
Pros: Delicious food, creative menu, outstanding service
Cons: Can't think of anything

The Big 4 is my "Hood" restuarant - 2 blocks from home into a truly clubby, Old Guard institution. Warm & inviting - dark and traditional, interesting artifacts, actually really comfy. It makes me feel coddled.
My husband and I loved it. Its my place for cocktails, Easter brunch, after Church lunches and evening gatherings - intimate and large. The crowd ranges from up and coming to The well-coiffed, groomed Old Guard. sometimes a few crazies & colorful geezers.
The food has gotten better over the years, the newest thing is more hip dinner settings. Need a comforting dish - The Chicken Pot Pie is LOADED with succulent chicken breast. The Bar Burger is served with THE BEST FRIES!! The AllAmerican Menu is really done well, the surprise is that they serve buffalo rib-eye and great, fresh sides.
I like to have cocktails by the fire with a fine friend.
Pros: Ambiance, Fresh, clean food, Interesting habitues

The 2nd edition of this sushi joint is off the hook, once again. I've spent many a night at sushi rock on polk drink large sapporos and knocking down their great rolls, especially since they are one of the few sushi restaurants open late. Sushi rock on pine was top notch again, with great food and service.

Had both lunch and dinner at Unicorn and both times I was very impressed by the level of service and quality of food. Since I had dinner last, the review will center on that although it applies just as much to the lunch experience. We (party of 4) wanted a good sampler coverage so we ordered from the Land and Rolls (I think it was called) pre-set menu as well as the Giant Scallops from the entrees. PLENTY of food, and as for what we thought of it, they had us from the moment the first item landed on the table. The quail was crispy and flavorful, and the salad that followed tasted zippy and clean. Our foodie friends, who eat out ALOT, were very impressed. Dish after dish did not disappoint. The oxtail was meaty yet meltingly tender while the assortment of rolls came with a lovely variety of dipping sauces that delivered a constant change of flavors and textures with some rolls hot and others cold. We scraped the last drops of wasabi sauce from the Scallops plate to soak the black coconut rice and then ate the rice plain as the other food quickly disappeared; it was that good. We finished with coffee (vietnamese and americano, both excellent) and dessert that had come with the pre-set meals. The mango panna cotta was soooo good. We also had a banana and ice-cream dish (forgot the name of it on the menu) and that was excellent as well. So what more can I say? The food here definitely appealed to all of us!
A quickie on the location, decor and service: PARKING the likes you'll never see in SF. Yellow zone meters are over by 6 pm, so parking is about as plenty as it'll ever get in the city. STRIKING light fixtures, an amazing room screened by a water curtain, and a bathroom (you'd be amazed how some restaurants overlook this) you can almost call home--except don't use the narrow stall unless you're, well, narrow. SMOOTH and unobtrusive service, well-monitored and very responsive. Excellent, excellent, excellent!
Pros: Parking, Food, Service, Decor

I went not sure what to expect but I was blown away by the execution of the food. Not to mention the quality of the products. Really phenomenal.
