We had Stephanie come into our office for three hours and she was the bomb! I wish she could come every week. She gives an excellent chair massage and I am looking forward to going into the studio for my Hot Stone massage. She listens to your needs and goes deep in the areas that really need it. I would definitely go back to her.
Pros: Deep, great hands, strong massage
Cons: Too Short!

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

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

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!

I have just returned from my hair appointment at Helene Rene and thought I
would finally write something on City Search about my wonderful experience
each and every time Helene has done my hair. I am shocked at reading 2 of
the nastiest reviews I have ever seen. I have known Helene for the last ten
years, she has done my hair with considerable finesse I might add and been a
warm, giving and loving person to be around. I feel I must come to her
defense as people don’t always know the whole picture. I know Helene would
never discuss this herself, but as a friend and a customer I must tell her
recent story. The building where she lives and works was sold last year and
she is being evicted. She has spent the last 6 months looking for new
digs, not just a new home but a space for her business. She has lived and
worked in this location for 20 some odd years and suddenly she is being
forced to completely change her entire life due to this new landlord.
We have all had bad days and I would hate to have her suffer unnecessarily
just because of 1 or 2 bad reviews, especially when there are at least 60
positive reviews praising her salon. Her prices are more affordable than
anyone on Union St. Helene was not available to cut my hair at one time so I
had to visit another salon which set me back $280.00. Please understand I
have extremely short, fine hair, it takes maybe 20 minutes to cut and the
color takes in about 20 minutes. I really felt taken on that one and from
now on I will give Helene a little more advance notice so I don’t have to
deal with this kind of rip off again. Helene was shocked when I told her how
much I spent!
She is fabulous, reasonable, warm and understanding and is currently moving
to a new home and has been offered a private space in a local salon to
continue her work. I wish her all the luck in the world and will remain a
good customer. Thank God she is staying in the neighborhood!
Pros: Example: best croissants in town
Cons: What are the drawbacks?

If you want the real deal on all levels go to Tres Agaves. I recently went with a group of friends for margaritas and some various dishes. We really enjoyed the fish tacos and the guacamole was insanely good! We also had some of the slow cooked carnitas ? mmmmm?.so good. However you have to try the tequilas. We had a tasting party and learned about the real history of tequila. No shot glasses here, all tastings were served in appropriate spirits glasses. We had a fabulous time.
Pros: Excellent sipping tequilas, super great authentic food!
Cons: really busy after a ball game!

Heather has been coloring and cutting my hair for over eight years now--perhaps even longer. I have followed her around the City, and am glad she's back at Stephen Saiz--I like the salon and the downtown location. Heather does the best blond I've seen--my hair ends up an amazing, natural-looking shade ("butter blond" as she calls it), with wonderful texture. She also gives great cuts--the style is always very current, but never too extreme (I work in a corporate setting, and I have to try to look "professional" so the men take me seriously), although I know she can do other styles--she gave my skateboarding son a great cut, also. She usually gets me in and out of there very fast, which I love. I have referred friends to her who have also become loyal clients. Finally, it's always such a pleasure to see Heather--she's funny and friendly, and I've really enjoyed getting to know her over the years.
Pros: Nice salon, nice people, downtown location

Sought this place out with my sister, who'd been before and knew about getting there before 5:30. Absolutely true. We got right in, and watched a horde form outside our window table. The food was stupendous. Flavors and combinations unlike anything I've had anywhere. Service excellent and informative, friendly, energetic staff. The decor is gorgeous. Topnotch
