Review of Iluna Basque at 701 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94133

Since chef Mattin Noblia is on the current run of “Top Chef,” I thought it would be fun to check out his North Beach restaurant, Iluna Basque, and sample some of the Basque flavors that he perfected in France and Switzerland.My foodie girlfriend, husband, daughter and I rece...

Review of Nob Hill Grille Restaurant at 969 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109-4804

by grubalicioussf:

Nob Hill Grille is a cozy gem that my husband and I recently discovered, run by Bay Area natives, Rich Paez and Fabio Stefani, with chef Heli Samaniego as the driving force in the kitchen. Rich and Fabio, who have over 20 years of restaurant experience between them, took over the restaurant t...

San Francisco, CA: Sapoten - "a quaint Japanese eatery in the Outer Richmond"

2009-07-30T20:14:41-07:00

Review of Sapoten at 3420 Balboa Street, San Francisco, CA

by grubalicioussf:

One day around 11:30 a.m., I found myself very hungry and near Ocean Beach so I drove along Balboa heading east to see if I could spy an interesting and affordable spot to grab some lunch. I noticed a woman raising a decorative paper lantern over the doorway of a small restaurant with signage...

San Francisco, CA: Genki Ramen - "Disappointing experience"

2009-07-30T10:09:17-07:00

Review of Genki Ramen at 3944 Geary Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94118-3219

by grubalicioussf:

I’m on a constant search to find the best ramen in San Francisco, and my family and I finally made it here for lunch the other day. I was instantly struck by the Chinese shows on their TVs and by the Chinese wait staff. I have had some truly excellent Japanese food prepared by Chinese ...

San Francisco, CA: Sociale - "An intimate Italian eatery in Presidio Heights"

2009-07-27T19:27:33-07:00

Review of Sociale at 3665 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94118-1709

by grubalicioussf:

Sociale is a charming Italian spot tucked away in an alley on Sacramento Street. It’s a real neighborhood gem, the kind of place I like to take my mom for lunch and quiet conversation, or for a romantic dinner with my husband.I remember the first time I ate here, years ago. As I...

San Francisco, CA: e tutto qua - "In one word, E Tutto Qua is 'delizioso'"

2009-07-27T18:44:34-07:00

Review of e tutto qua at 270 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

by grubalicioussf:

Despite it being the Fourth of July, my brood didn’t feel like barbecuing at home on Saturday, so we headed to North Beach around 7:00 p.m. and met my girlfriend for dinner. We had planned to eat at Tomasso’s but since we were really ravenous and there was an hour-long wait, we de...

San Francisco, CA: bistro st. germain - "A good reason to head to the Lower Haight"

2009-07-21T21:26:47-07:00

Review of bistro st. germain at 518 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117

by grubalicioussf:

What a lovely dinner my husband and I had here recently. Upon entering, we were greeted with a friendly “Bonsoir!” and welcomed into the warmly lit dining room. In this French bistro on Haight Street, orange walls are set aglow by uplights and painted silhouettes of famous Paris...

San Francisco, CA: Wexler's - "Wexler's brings barbecue to the FiDi"

2009-07-21T21:14:08-07:00

Review of Wexler's at 568 Sacramento St, San Francisco, CA 94111

by grubalicioussf:

Wexler’s hearty sandwiches served on Acme bread are full of flavor and inspiration, and are definitely worth a trip to the Financial District, if you don’t already work/live around there. The flaked yellowfin tuna with braised kale, black olive aioli and celery root remoulade is m...

San Francisco, CA: jannah - "Chef Yahya Salih brings Middle Eastern fare to Fulton Street"

2009-07-21T11:30:36-07:00

Review of jannah at 1775 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

by grubalicioussf:

Note: Closer to two and a half stars right now, but I’m sure it will earn a full three stars once a few details are addressed. They didn’t serve a couple items that were supposed to come with our dishes e.g., lavash bread and bulgar. Servers needs to be better versed on the menu....

San Francisco, CA: Zazie - "quaint French bistro"

2009-05-31T22:25:31-07:00

Review of Zazie at 941 Cole St, San Francisco, CA 94117

by grubalicioussf:

Zazie is a cute little French eatery in Cole Valley that serves solid but not really imaginative breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner items. You can get your french toast, scrambles, poached egg dishes, roasted trout, duck cassoulet and chocolate pot du creme. Service tends to be on the aloo...
