I beg to differ. The SF area is filled with enough pompous overpaid a**holes who go out some place to be seen, to look good, and to flash their unearned wealth garnered from jumping between jobs every three months when their employers realize how little they actually know (and making off with the $10K signing bonus in the process) rather than toactually enjoy a good meal that any restaurant with the balls to charge $250 a plate for deep fried pig nipples would likely stay in business for quite a while, especially if they buy 3 Lexi and park them out front to make it look like a trendy spot and play tape-recorded cell phone ringers over the sounsd system all day so that the dumbass patrons can think they're surrounded by similar "movers and shakers". Bonus points for hiring true French waiters, who so epitomize the personality that many Bay Area folks aspire to. Not saying that New York isn't plagued by the same problem. I've never, EVER seen a restaurant in SF that can challenge Portland's "Montage" for atmosphere and quality of food. You can get a good dinner at Montage for $4, and the most expensive item on the menu is something like $14, which likely puts it out of the price range to even be considered a restaurant by the aforementioned idiots.
