For vegetarians who are looking for a chic place, this is for you! The food is average but a bit overpriced for vegetarian cuisine. However, the view out to the San Francisco Bay is wonderful on clear days. The restaurant has a wonderful open space because it is housed in a converted pier building at Fort Mason. The waitpeople are nice and definitely not overbearing. Hard to say if there was anything on the menu that was outstanding, but the meal was satisfying in taste. less

Tokie's is the only sushi place in Foster City that combines fresh sushi with a great atmosphere and crowd. Generally crowded on most days and evenings, you can get great specialty rolls like the Shannon Roll which seems to be a popular one. Can be a bit pricy but the quality makes it worth it. Outside of sushi, they also have a nice selection of Japanese food ranging from tonkatsu to teriyaki. Service is average. Definitely make a reservation if you plan to go during peak lunch or dinner hours. less

Decor is nice, service can be slow, and food is just average. They tend to overspice the pastas which is good if you really want to smell like pepper and garlic at the end of the meal. Best to make reservations and also be prepared to search for parking a few blocks away. less
The Slanted Door	San Francisco, CA

This is just your basic Euro-Asian cuisine that has become so popular the last few years. Entrees tend to be overpriced, service is a bit slow, and food portions are very small. Authentic Vietnamese it isn't but atmosphere is good and definitely trendy. Avoid the rack of lamb unless your appetite is small. Desserts are average. For a better Euro-Asian experience try EOS or House/The House - you'll get more bang for the buck. Reservations definitely recommended here. Walk-ins can be difficult. less
South Park Cafe	San Francisco, CA
French restaurants are supposed to be known for their attitude and that's definitely what you'll get at this pseudo French cafe in the trendy South Park, Multimedia Gulch part of SF. Food isn't bad but service is lousy. The flank steak sandwich is ... more French restaurants are supposed to be known for their attitude and that's definitely what you'll get at this pseudo French cafe in the trendy South Park, Multimedia Gulch part of SF. Food isn't bad but service is lousy. The flank steak sandwich is a good lunch choice but my favorite are the mussels with fries. Might seem like an odd combination but my friend tells me that in France it is fairly common. Can be busy so be prepared to wait. less
Isobune	Oakland, CA
The Isobune tradition continues at their Berkeley location. Compared to the Japantown location, this one has sitdown area available rather than just the ever repeating boats.

Compared to the Japantown location, this one has sitdown area available rather than just the ever repeating boats. I'd suggest sitting at a table if possible and having a leisurely dinner or lunch. Lunch special is a great deal. Sushi isn't always the freshest compared to other sushi restaurants in the Bay Area but it isn't bad. Check it out if you are in the area. less
Elroy's	San Francisco, CA
Elroy's has been a hip and happening place for the yuppy professionals both for lunch and dinner. Food is average and service is average as well.

But ambiance has a nice feel if you are in your late 20's or 30's. Despite being located in the multimedia gulch area of San Francisco, you'll find more professionally dressed attire being prevalent. Fish and chips are a favorite of mine for just some basic food but the Elroy's Burger is good as well. Save room for a dessert like Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate if you are a mad chocoholic. less

This is the newest, hip spot in the Marina and people are noticing. Start off with a wonderful appetizer like the strange-flavored squid (calamari with a spicy, fish sauce type dipping sauce), move on to the Don-Don or Shanghai noodles (can be a bit spicy so if you don't like things really spicy ask them to make it more mild), and top it all off some tea. Service is helpful and friendly, portions are large, and you'll not walk away feeling you've spent a fortune. less
301	San Francisco, CA
Decor is extraordinary in this spin-off of Elroy's, which is housed in the same building. 301 is more low-key than Elroy's and, I dare say, classier. Food is the typical Pan-Asian/European mix that seems to be so popular these days and the dishes c ... more Decor is extraordinary in this spin-off of Elroy's, which is housed in the same building. 301 is more low-key than Elroy's and, I dare say, classier. Food is the typical Pan-Asian/European mix that seems to be so popular these days and the dishes can be of mixed qualities so consistency is sometimes lacking. But many of the dishes are seafood/fish dishes. Not a bad place if you happen to be in the area but for my money I'd go to House or EOS for a better food experience. But for atmosphere, 301 is outstanding. less
Ristorante Ecco	San Francisco, CA

Service is very friendly and decor is wonderfully clean. Food is good but a little over flavored at times (chicken breast can be slightly salty). Decent portions and a variety of choices. An excellent lunch choice if you work in the area, or great for dinner as well (can tend to be a little loud at times but not over bearing in volume). less
