I think Trader Vic's is one of the most beautiful restaurants in San Francisco. They also make the best MAI TAI using fresh lime juice. Pu Pu appetizers are fun. Everything from their famous oven is great, especially, Indonesian Lamb roast. But, you can have just a hot dog or hamburger when you feel like having something small at their very long bar.
Pros: great drinks, delicious food, nice ambiance

Anyone that watches Top Chef on Bravo will know of Tom Colicchio and his NYC restaurants. 'Wich Craft, in the Westfield Mall, is his newest venture, a casual restaurant serving mostly sandwiches and a few soups and salads. The location is huge and somewhat sterile, with high ceilings and two floors filled with tables. Iit was quite empty when we visited, but the place probably caters more to the FiDi lunchtime crowd.
I had half a goat cheese sandwich (filled with avocado, watercress, and of course goat cheese) along with potato cheddar soup. Both were actually pretty decent and the soup had a nice kick to it. One complaint was the sandwich was a bit soggy and made it harder to eat. The ingredients seem to be top quality and flavors were there as well. My friend enjoyed her grilled steak and shitake mushroom sandwich too. Now the pricing- about $9 for a somewhat smaller sized sandwich with no sides, but it was still a fulfilling lunch.

The pure aesthetics of this hotspot, floor to ceiling glass lets the light pour in making the space warm and inviting. Besides the atmosphere the food is also a highlight. With a short but sweet menu, Wichcraft's simplistic appeal offers a variety of options to feed your appetite. The peanut butter cookies are my favorite and highly recommend you should check out this deliciously good restaurant.

My favorite cafe to visit for Hong Kong style desserts. This place is tiny but the menu is astounding- there is everything you can think of on here, and more. There are hot and cold desserts - some with fresh fruit, sago, and coconut milk. You have dozens of options to choose from, what type of fruit, jelly (snow frog?) , coconut milk or sugar water. There are also some interesting sweet herbal soups on the menu, which are probably healthy as well. There is also mango mousse, tofu desserts, bubble tea, black sesame or peanut soup. It's all delish. Some entree items as well, such as ramen, "western style" spaghetti, etc.
Last time I visited, I couldn't decide on just one dessert, so I ended up with two!

12 Galaxies is a pretty nice place to see a show for small to mid-sized acts. The sound can be really good and the place is big enough that the main floor can be quiet while talkers can chat away at the bar or go upstairs.
My biggest gripe with the place is the staff, mainly the bouncers. It seems that if there aren't any problems form them to deal with, they will start harassing the closest person. I've witnessed this several times. From calling someone a "gay" to grabbing girls' asses, these guys will do anything they can on their power tripped out shift and as soon as you ask them to leave you alone, they reveal themselves as staff and have you removed. Pretty nice huh? Staff person named Mike seems particularly meth'd up over a fresh shot of steroids. If the management can cage those animals back in the zoo, this would be a really great place.

On a recent trip, my girl and I turned to Citysearch for help in finding a brunch spot near our B&B. We were a bit desperate as it was pushing 2pm, we hadn't yet eaten and barely had an internet connection. Well of the 5 or 6 suggestions, 1300 on Fillmore seemed to meet our criteria the best. Well Citysearch knocked this one out of the park!
Unlike the after-church crowd, we were more than a little under dressed. Still the staff promptly seated us in the gorgeous dining room. Our waiter was extremely friendly, assisting us in putting together an amazing meal. The banana blueberry buckwheat buttermilk pancakes appealed to both of us, although she ordered without the blueberry. Although we usually avoid ordering the same dish and side, we both were in the mood for scrambled eggs on the side. An appetizer of scones rounded out the order.
Curious about those pancakes? In a word, heavenly. Really, the texture and overall taste were fantastic (and would be no less wonderful had we not arrived virtually starving). The respective fruit was infused into the batter and also included on top. The syrup must have been grade B dark amber as it complemented the sour of the blueberries well. The eggs were perfect so much so that she was ready to salt them, but ceased upon tasting. They had perfect consistency, plenty of flavor and I wish mine came out as good at home.
Throughout the meal, the wait staff checked in on us. You could get the impression from other reviews here that the wait staff is perhaps too attentive, but is actually just right. At some point we attempted, naturally, to find fault with 1300 on Fillmore. The staff is fast and friendly, food amazing, entire restaurant decorated beautifully and tastefully, and it even has perfect chatter loudness level, allowing you to hear each other yet still providing that out-to-dinner experience. For a couple of New Yorkers with high expectations, this meal satisfied all-around. Go- you won't regret it!
Pros: food quality and quantity, ambience, staff, reasonable prices
Cons: neighborhood is a little sketchy

I usually avoid Broadway like the plague because it's not really my scene. However, after a stop here I was blown away by the place. There is a casual yet stylish aura surrounding the place that also serves up a mean cosmo. The staff was unbelievably friendly and I was able to order a drink within the five minutes I was standing at the bar on a Friday night. I would highly recommend giving this place a chance.
Pros: friendly staff, great drinks, ambiance
