My husband and I went to this San Francisco landmark restaurant the other evening to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary and all I can say is.....what a romantic evening! The restaurant is cozy(the lighting is great!) , it wasn't too crowded on the night we were there (perhaps a sign of this awful economy?!) The waiter was gracious and very efficient, the food exceptional and the dessert (yes you have to save room for dessert!) was scrumptious! and what followed later on that evening, well, just use your imagination! ;) Seriously if you are looking for fine dining, a romantic dinner or perhaps to entertain business clients than definitely pay this San Francisco landmark restaurant a visit, you will be very glad you did!
Pros: Great food, attentive wait staff, wonderful wine list, romantic atmosphere, great location!
Cons: Nothing!

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 love little mom and pop restaurants, and this little gem is in that category of the few still out there in the city.
From the cute waiters, to the old-world decor, and ofcourse the delicious food, this little Trattoria is still run by the "Family". The owner is back there tossing Pizzas, and the wife is in the kitchen creating homestyle southern Italian cooking at its best. Meanwhile, the son is running the dining room with his very good looking and charming wait staff. I love this place!
Pros: Great food and service
Cons: ---

Whether you're from India or not, it's difficult to NOT enjoy this gastronomic experience. The food is simply, and I do mean simply amazing. Just the right amount of seasoning to let the flavor of the food stand out. The presentation is grand, the drinks are up to par with the food. I recommend the Lychee Martini...actually the entire cocktail list is amazing. Save room for dessert, it's well worth it. Every part of India is represented, North, South, East and West, some of which has the addition of a flavorful Western influence. Go- try, and enjoy. I know I have, and look forward to it every time.
Pros: Fantastic food
Cons: Lousy parking

This is what comes to mind when you think of a world-class dining experience.
I went here for drinks and dessert the other night and everything was fantastic. It's certainly a 'culinary experience'. The food is highly conceptual and experimental but executed well. By conceptual, I mean lots of foams, textures, presentation, and interesting flavor combinations (think basil sorbet).
The space blends industrial features with a streamlined 50's-inspired aesthetic. Prices are moderate to high but totally worth it. This place is pretty classy but not intimidating or rude as some fine dining can be. Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful even though we were just having dessert.
Definitely worth checking out!
They also have a cafe that's open during the day next door. It's kind of equidistant from Embarcadero and Montgomery BART stations.

First of all, this is a high end restaurant, they take reservations, and most people go well dressed. I like to go to restaurants with great food but I do not like to dress up, and its nice to have the option to dress just "comfortable". The food is very good and up to what you expect at this price range. The service is good too, although I personally do not like to be asked how everything is while I have my mouth full. It is considered good service to check up on the customer so I guess they are just doing their job.
They always have something new on the menu and often redo their entire menu with new items. All in all, a typical dinner here with no wine and dessert will cost you about $75 per person. If that is in your price range for a special occasion or just because you want to have great food, I can certainly recommend The Farallon to you.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Price

That's right, enjoy eating in this authentic Italian restaurant located in the Mission on 16th street.
Enjoy a glass of vino as you peruse your menu complete with a variety of delicious choices ranging of antipasta.
Choose your main dish known as primi from a wide range of pastas like penne, rigatoni, lasagna, and fettucini.
The portions are typical for a true Italian dinner, so if you're accustomed to over-sized portions Americans are notorious for, you may need to consider ordering a side dish secondi like prosciutto, carpacchio, or mixed vegetables. Be sure to ask your server if any pommes frittes (Italian version of French Fries) are available. Yes, I said French Fries, but these are much healthier and no doubt tastier than anything you've had at a drive-thru.
I doubt you'll miss the Italian accents from the staff since it seems like all of them, at least when I've been there, are Italian immigrants. They're hip, young, and dedicated to creating the right balance of an Italian atmosphere suitable for a business dinner meeting, a night out with friends, or that special night with that romantic someone. They're proud of their Italian cuisine and culture and they enjoy sharing it with their diners.
End the night with gelato for desert along with some gourmet Ilily espresso. Or you may want to try the desert liquor, Lemoncello. This is especially helpful in digesting those pasta carbs.
Finally, something that little something that sets Il Cantuccio apart from anywhere I've ever been is your bill is accompanied by a small cup of Gummi Bears that just may hit the spot if you don't have room for desert.
I hope you find my review helpful and thanks for reading! Buon Appetito!

New ownership recently took over and have kept the same food and atmosphere, but the wine list is dramatically improved. Great selection of Calfornia wines in addition to the Spanish and French wines they carried before.
Pros: Easy parking and good food
Cons: Make reservations - can be a long wait on weekends
