French Creole food mixed with some Vegan fare and I am in love. Go early for breakfast or you'll have to wait. It's worth it though.

I work here a few days a week. The food is amazing Arabic fusion foods from all over the middle east, California and French inspired too. There is nothing like it in the world and well worth a try.

The owner is a retired rock and roll star with attitude. The place is super cute and the food is decent if you want Italian. But be ready for a disgruntled owner recovering from a hangover ;)

My favorite wine bar in the city and that's saying a lot because I am picky about wine. If you want to meet ladies it's great and if you wanna meet men it's perfect. The waiters are french and flirt!

Sightseeing
One of my favorite spots in SF! Take the dog, kids, picnic and walk right up to the golden gate. You could even walk or ride a bike over it from this place. Lovely beaches, a cafe and an old fort are some of the other attractions. You can often see seals, dolphins and sharks swimming about here :)
