"The tartare was so oversalted it was inedible, and the curry sauce with the mussels was bitter and unpleasant. The other starter we ordered, the foie gras torchon, was delicious though..."
"It was early in her 12-year stay at Chez Panisse that Mary Jo Thoresen, now pastry chef and co-owner of Jojo on Oakland’s Piedmont Avenue, learned that success sometimes comes from not struggling with the insurmountable. “We had this dessert o..."
"After much deliberation on where to have brunch on Sunday, especially after a very mediocre, disappointing and expensive dim sum experience on Saturday, my eating entourage and I decided to try Foreign Cinema. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, con..."
"The Scene The combination of an unobtrusive and nearly hidden entrance and the long, votive-lit concrete entryway makes you feel like a movie star entering a mysterious playground for the rich and famous. Soaring high ceilings, a working fireplace and whi..."

"Chic, neo-industrial restaurant offers large outdoor patio with nightly film screenings and revamped French menu from former Zuni Café chefs. Starters include highly recommendable warm duck salad with red pear and sumptuous salmon two ways (gravlax,..."
"The dinner menu is quintessential SF: Cal-Med seasonal and sustainable. Start with some warm olives ($4) while you debate who is getting what...."
"friends took us to this restaurant, which was out of the way and probably hard for tourists to find. Loved the atmosphere, and the wine list was varied and a little eclectic and we got a good recommendation...."
