This restaurant is lovely inside and packed with people. It's a bit loud, but it just adds to the festive atmosphere. The scallion pancakes and string beans are especially good. I also enjoyed the crab spring rolls. The lemongrass chicken entree was decent, as was the fire noodle entree.

I haven't been to a restaurant this good in a long time. I was thoroughly impressed with my experience at Ana Mandara and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the San Francisco area. The decor was incredibly beautiful and lush, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Every single course ordered was fantastic. My party enjoyed the dungaress crab appetizer--fresh and very well seasoned. The quail and basa entrees were delicious and filling. The desserts, bananas flambe with phyllo and poached pears with cinnamon were amazing as well.

Tra Vigne is beautiful inside, with high ceilings and a pleasant atmosphere. One can dine outside as well, in a lovely garden type setting. Although I enjoyed the meal, I felt that the two entrees that I sampled were extremely oversalted. The rabbit dish was delicious, but overladen with sodium. The was beef short ribs were incredible in that the meat was very tender and juicy. However, again, the natural flavor of the meat was overpowered by the taste of salt. The appetizer of fresh mozerella crostini was good, as was the panna cotta brulee dessert.

When you step into the dining room at Fifth Floor, you notice its elegance and its sophisticated decor. The service is wonderful and the staff is both helpful and unobtrusive. The Duet of Crab first course is excellent. The tempura softshell crab is crisp and comes with a creamy pistachio sauce. The other crab is clean and fresh--very pleasing to the palate. Unfortunately, the Kobe Beef Tartare was bland and the foie gras was overcooked and veiny. My party enjoyed both the ostrich and roasted poussin entrees very much, although the chanterelles that came with the poussin were gritty. The best part of the meal was the dessert. The fresh, made to order ice creams were delicious. I recommend the strawberry/butter pecan ice creams that come with a strawberry shortcake and a pecan tart.
Although the food at Fifth Floor was very good, it left me dissatisfied. After reading so many raving reviews of the place, I expected more and came away very unimpressed. I don't believe the food or experience is worth the price at all. For the money, I would rather go to an exquisite restaurant like Ana Mandara twice instead.

I was disappointed with my experience at Chinois. My salad and duck entree were rather plain, and I was unimpressed with the decor.

I liked the atmosphere and the decor of this restaurant--loud and fun. The margaritas were pretty good, as were the complimentary chips and salsa. The chicken dishes I've tried were juicy and flavorful.

This restaurant has a quiet, low-key atmosphere. The fajitas are pretty good and the combo platters are fairly large.

I liked the coziness of this restaurant. It's right by the library, which makes it an ideal place for students to take a break. The pastrami sandwiches are pretty good.

The food here is fresh and the chicken is tender and juicy. This is one of my favorite places to go for this type of meal. The sides, like the mashed potatoes, are good.

I liked the beef burritos here--they were fresh and filling. The meat was actual steak, rather than processed-meat that other places have sometimes.

The food here was overpriced and is generally overrated. I had a pasta dish that came with focaccia and wasn't too impressed with either.

The food is cheap and tasty here! There is lots of variety on the menu and the decor is very homey, yet eclectic. There's even an aquarium in the middle of the restaurant. The bakery goods are especially yummy.

I never understand why people love this place so much. It's standard Italian fare--nothing I have tried has ever stood out to me. I do like the neverending salad and breadsticks deal though.

This is the type of place you take a soccer team or a big bunch of kids. There are huge tables for everyone to sit at and the atmosphere is very low-key. The pizza is decent.

I really love the Cheesecake Factory because you get so much for your money. The portions are huge and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. I especially like the mashed potatoes here, but almost every entree (15-20 dishes) I've tried has been solid.

The pizza is different from most delivery-pizzas...it's a little bit sweeter? It's a good change from Domino's or Pizza Hut.

There are some interesting burritos here...they have a Korean burrito where they put in kimchee! It's decent food for cheap prices.

The paella was excellent, as were the desserts I tried. The atmosphere is romantic and intimate. The server was very funny--he recommended all kinds of dishes to my boyfriend and me, and got insulted when we ordered too much. Excellent food, but be prepared to spend a fair amount of money for it.

The restaurant is beautiful inside and there is outdoor seating that has a fabulous view of a garden. It's very proper and the servers are very formal. The chicken tikka masala is especially good, but all the dishes I've tried have been solid.

The pizzas aren't superb by any means, but they are edible and pretty cheap. It's pretty standard college delivery food.
