Bay Area: Food

Chris Chen: aside from pizza, chicken wings are good. dry spice rub, not tossed in sauce

Joe Gratz: Arrive at 7:30 AM or 2:30 PM. Ignore the menu on the table. Order one of the specials on the whiteboard.

Mike Lee: The omakase sushi hasn't let me down yet.

Ari Friedland: best hummus I've ever had outside of Israel. the meat hummus and mushroom hummus are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY AMAZING!

Jordan Kong: Come early for steel cut oatmeal.

Susan Loh: Cheese! Sandwiches! Beer! Sun! Perfect recipe for a lazy sunday. Come here and feast while lounging in their courtyard.

Madeleine Sinclair: Do the tasting menu and ask for the music set list from the evening.

ViatorStaff: Gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge and amazing, upscale seasonal vegetarian dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Great wine list and desserts.

Nate Mahoney: Satisfy Xiao Long Bao cravings here!

Eater: Grassfed beef on a brioche bun, with optional cheese. (You want the cheese.) Eater SF editor Allie Pape says, "Nopa is my favorite white-napkin burger by a mile." Bonus? It's served til 1:00AM.

Jordan Kong: Recently awarded a second Michelin star. When in doubt, go for the longer tasting menu! (Never have I been so satisfied with a vegetarian option.)

Priscella King: *Happy Hour* $1 oysters on Mondays and Thursdays from 5 - 7pm. Get here before 4:30 so you can get seated before the rush. Leggi tutto.

nina alter: BEST potatoes, evar!

AskMen: The pizza here is Neapolitan -- the Italian invention where the toppings are just the accompaniment to the lovingly made dough that bubbles & crisps in a 900-degree wood-fired oven. Leggi tutto.

Jordan Kong: Get the Branzino.

Jordan Kong: Getting a tea service is great value, especially since the portions are enough for two!

Bon Appetit Magazine: Chef Jason Fox harmonizes a dizzying array of int'l ingredients - including sea urchin w/ sweet potato tempura, chrysanthemum leaf, shiso, scallion, & yuzu kosho. Also try the squid & pork belly! Leggi tutto.

Eater: Like Zuni, a onetime trailblazer inspired by the Chez Panisse mantra. And like Zuni, a fully-fledged restaurant on all levels, from food to service. [Eater 38 Member] Leggi tutto.

Washington Post: Critic Tom Sietsema: "I can’t recall eating better, or bigger, Scotch eggs. Puccio uses duck eggs instead of the usual chicken eggs and wraps them in duck confit rather than the usual sausage." Leggi tutto.

Jordan Kong: Get 5 of the pork belly and call it a day.

Bon Appetit Magazine: Enjoy as the aroma of spit-roasting pork fills the rustic dining room. The pastas include a raviolo filled with ricotta and an egg yolk that breaks under your knife to bleed into a brown-butter sauce. Leggi tutto.

Thrillist: Try the Marlowe Burger (Niman beef on brioche with caramelized onions/bacon/horseradish aioli). Leggi tutto.

Eater: A favorite late night stop of many industry folk. [Eater 38 Member]

SF Weekly: SF Weekly's Best Of 2011 - Reader's Poll - BEST VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT
