I actually know nothing about Dr. Guerin except that he employs Dr. Po. Dr. Po is very nice but quite incompetent I think. She did two fillings for me about 6 months ago, and I have had problems with both of them since day one. (One's pretty loose, the other too big.) I'll have to have both fixed next time I go for a check-up, but frankly, I won't go back to her.'
Writing a year later: I went to another doctor in Dr. Guerin's office, Dr. Marhew, and frankly my husband and I didn't think much of him either.
So Dr. Guerin's office, as conveniently close to the Tufts campus as it is, is probably best avoided.

You've probably been to or heard about Ebisu at 9th and Irving. And while you were waiting 1.5 hours to be seated, you probably watched people getting tables right away at Hotei across the street. Hotei used to serve only non-sushi Japanese food (donburi, udon, etc.), so it didn't attract as big a crowd as Ebisu. But now they serve sushi - Ebisu's sushi! Without the wait and just as excellent. Plus you can choose from all the other Japanese meals they've always had. The place isn't too expensive and with a group of 5 we were seated almost right away (though partially because it was Monday night). I'm giving it a 10 for the quality of sushi, the menu breadth and the short waiting time.

Osha is located roughly between the Tenderloin and Union Sq. It's a pretty low-ley place where everything is done pretty quickly, no frills. You even have to request dinner plates if you don't want to eat off the little appetizer ones. But the food is great, esp. their pad thai, curries and spicy eggplant. It is inexpensive.

Ella's sits on the corner of Presidio and California. The brunch menu is fairly short, but everything on it is awesome. Freshly squeezed orange juice, various incarnations of breakfast classics with eggs, potatos, onions, chicken and more ... and best of all, the pancakes! They come stacked up 3 pieces high, wide as the plate, and you can have them with baked-in bananas. They just melt on your tongue. The main breakfast items run around $10. Even though I only just recently discovered it, apparently this place is no secret to others, so you may want to get there before 10am to get seated quickly, esp. with a large group. They seem to serve dinner too, but that's not what they're known for.

Excellent service. Fun, lively atmosphere. Very diverse menu with different price options: $8 for a burger, $21 for a ribeye steak. Both were great.

Went there for a work lunch date. They carry the typical Vietnamese fare. Not too expensive and pretty good. We shared 4 different dishes (eggplant, sauteed curry chicken, pork bbq salad and some garlic beef) -- all of them were great, flavorful but not overpowering. The decor on the other hand is most like non-decor. The place is clean and pleasant, good to grab lunch or dinner with friends, but not suitable for a romantic date.

There are several locations of the SF Soup Company, and they are my favorite lunch place. They offer some 10-15 soups at reasonable prices. There's something for everyone: vegetarian, hearty, Indian, low-fat, etc. I've tried several and my friend has tried some others, and they are all excellent. You can grab a piece of bread on the side. They also offer a few pre-made salads and sandwiches and the usually beverage options. I usually get a small soup and half-sandwich (I recommend the grilled veggie sandwich). There is modest seating.

Anna's, part of a small chain, is one of the places that we visit periodically. It is right in the Davis Square area and is pretty popular. There is usually a short line to order, but it goes very quickly. The burritos are the best, but the whole usual range of TexMex is available. There is a seating area within the restaurant, though it can get crowded, so getting your dinner to go may be a better option. The prices are on the cheaper side, though not as cheap as some really authentic places. I definitely recommended for a casual meal.

Orleans is one of the few bars around Somerville's Davis Square. They serve dinner, which I heard is pretty decent, but I have not tried it myself. The place is more known for drinks later in the evening. There are several couch areas for groups to hang out. The place is nothing special, but if you're looking for drinks around Davis Square, definitely stop by.

Crossroads is an upscale cafe with a selection of books, cards and magazines for purchase. It is an ideal place to read or chat, either on a couch indoors or at one of the outdoor tables in a beautiful little garden. They serve a range of foods from plain breakfast items to sandwiches, fantastic soups and seared ahi tuna on a scrumptious green salad. The food is upscale both in quality and in prices, but it is really good. You are also right on the Embarcadero, close to the MUNI, ballpark and downtown, so it's a convenient stopover spot on your way to other places. And one more added benefit: the cafe is part of the Delancey Street Foundation complex, a non-profit that functions as a halfway house and provides its residents with employment opportunities in the few businesses it runs, such as this one. (They are all nice businesses too, a knick-knack store, a florist, a restaurant...) So you can feel good about paying a little extra for your lunch.
