SF is full of great eateries but the one that holds my heart dear is Tommy's Joynt on Van Ness. Is it still there? It is to me indelibley etched on my brain - memories of a weird time - take me away there again. Buffalo Stew anyone? Tommy's was the first place I ever discovered, over 25 years ago, that had the biggest selection of beer I had ever seen. What a dusty musty blast to the past this place is. Groovy man!

The problem is, >though, that we only have two days. > Tadich Grill on California near Battery has excellent seafood, and good steaks too. It's a very old-time San Francisco kind of place. Sam's Grill, on Bush near Kearny, is also a fine choice for fish. Yet another place for great mesquite-grilled fish (although you might not expect it) is the Cadillac Bar & Grill, at Minna alley near 4th and Mission. For high-end French/Chinese, check out Tommy Toy's on Montgomery at Washington. The signature menu is awesome. For Chinese, Brandy Ho's (1 at Columbus near Kearny, the other on Broadway near Montgomery) is THE place, IMO. Try the smoked ham with garlic.

San Francisco has particularly good Asian food of all kinds, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, etc. My very favorite place is Thep Phanom, a Thai place, at Waller and Fillmore (one block south of Haight and Fillmore; if you're taking the bus, take the 22 Fillmore, the 7 Haight or the 6 Parnassus). stephanie
If you're around Berkeley area, Zachary's stuffed pizza is absolutely wonderful. J
Although I am not a native San Franciscan, my wife is: She recommends Westlake Joe's--it has the old time San Francisco look, the food is modestly priced, and you get generous portions to boot. the old pro On Mon, 26 Apr 1999 12:27:36 -0500, Asako wrote: >Hi! > >My mother and I are travelling to San Francisco and are looking for good >and reasonable restaurants there.

Westlake Joe's is a non-touristy San Franciscco tradition. My wife who was born there loves their Veal Scallopini, their Ravioli, and according to her they have the a very good Sourdough Frenchbread You will need a car to get there. Keep that in mind. For entertainment, try the Club Fugazi. No food there. Drinks are served. They have a great little show--it has played for over 22 years. An absolute blast. The show is called "Beach Blanket Babylon" a musical comedy revue. Very funny, lots of laughs. Club Fugazzi is located in the North Beach Area on Green Street. Their phone number is: (415) 421-4222. Just around the corner is a very small, family style, casual dinner place, reasonable and great Italian food-- The Gold Spike Have a good time in The City, the old pro > > > > > > > >On Mon, 26 Apr 1999 12:27:36 -0500, Asako >wrote: > >>Hi! >> >>My mother and I are travelling to San Francisco and are looking for good >>and reasonable restaurants there.

Go for lunch and don't skip dessert. As for Californian cuisine your guess is a good one, all I can come up with are exotic vegetables :) Be good, Limbo
