Anything with pisco, but the pisco punch is the best you'll ever have.
Afternoon tea for two, with champagne was lovely. Had the 100 anniversary tea...loved the florals and warm scones :) The Pear finger sandwich was my favorite.
Very good Sunday brunch!
There’s nothing more civilized than weekend afternoon tea. Especially if you consume the finger sandwiches and scones amid the splendiferous turn-of-the-century trappings.
Order a glass of zaya, it's the best way to enjoy your cigar.
The best place in San Francisco to smoke a cigar!
The bartender will spritz you with Febreze before you leave. He also has "stripper glitter perfume," which I do not recommend.
The duck is cooked in a wood stove. Great prices, but no reservations. They'll text you when your table is ready.
SJB & Peking Duck
Stop what you’re doing and go here for dumplings immediately ✋
MUST: lobster bisque and the popovers with strawberry butter. GET IT AND YOU WONT REGRET IT
Delicious cheese plate app. Tasty Ahi Tuna app as well! And of course, the bread and butter are unusually good.
The traditional chicken broth and fantabulous popovers are worth making the trip. Make the lobster bisque a staple. Unfortunately, for me, the fun ended with the appetizers. Ive had better pricewise.
Best place in the neighborhood to get sangria by the pint.
Free shots at the bar every time the Giants hit a homer!
Pretty decent place on a taco tuesday. Both hard shell and soft tacos; beef, chicken, or pork, on the menu.
Concierge, Tom Wolfe is superb. Bangkok suite is blissful. Very lovely hotel.
It is said that every US President since William Howard Taft has stayed at this hotel. This hotel is the first place Tony Bennett ever sang “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.”
In 1945 the Fairmont hosted international statesmen for meetings culminating in the creation of the United Nations. The UN Charter was drafted in the hotel's Garden Room.
Good ol’ Vesuvio. Classic North Beach bar. Sit upstairs for good people watching!
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. No matter how many tourists drop in for a pint, it still feels as though it's full of locals. We recommend an Anchor Steam.
sit upstairs in the corner and see the bright bright lights of Broadway.
$8 zabaglione is the best I've had in SF so far. Perfect date dessert, worth going for that alone.
Hate to be this guy, but it's the truth: whoever the chef is could cook up human limbs and I'd still chow down. Incredibly delicious!!!
Service is stellar-- the food? Not as awesome
Try the Coconut S'mores Cupcake - coconut cake topped with chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow. The coconut flavor is brilliant in combination with the chocolate and toasty marshmallow flavor. Read more.
Everything here is yummy!!!
Cupcakes for bitcoins is very cool
The food is excellent! Try the lamb chops. Do not miss the Brussels sprouts! For dessert try the Sour cake with coconut sauce. One of the best food I have had!
Brussel sprouts!!!!
Skip the formal dining and head upstairs to the lounge. Comfortable seating with a full menu, excellent service, and live jazz. Try the braised brussel sprouts or anything with crab.
The best garlic noodle ever. The crab and seabass are awesome.
It's wonderful!!! Everything (incl crab and lobster)!!! Furthermore it's in Michelin guide 2010 and Tripadvisor 2011
Amazingly diverse menu offerings, excellent service, eclectic clientele, etc. Relaxing back patio that's perfect for those beautiful afternoons. Locally sourced. A definite must try!
Put their Swordfish in your face. You'll thank me.
If it's swordfish you're after -- look no further. Presidio Social Club is your personal Cabo Wabo.
Love the Phoenix! Cool vibe, great pool, eclectic guests (all cool). Makes for a great time.
Before the SVEDKA Fairy Princess Party on June 2, head to a mixology class with master bartender Nick Varacalli. He'll show you his spin on two classic cocktails—the Cosmopolitan and the Manhattan.
Great hotel; close to everything in SF, a great 1950s vibe and a beautiful pool.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
