Jesse Garza: Got the bread sampler; buttermilk pancake was maybe the best one I've ever had, but the pumpkin pancake and French Toast were just "meh".
SFGate: Zazie has a longstanding tradition as a brunch venue, with gingerbread or buttermilk pancakes a favorite. There's also a prix-fixe option, including one of the restaurant's decadent homemade desserts. Read more.
Roger Ma: Get a flight of their buttermilk pancake, gingerbread pancake & French toast

Sarah Harrison: The seared scallops are amazing. Little delicious roe eggs explode in your mouth, all on a delicious fresh flavor sauce of oranges and squash maybe, a hint of spice, flavor explosion! So fresh.
megan: If 'Cheers' had been set in SF, this would have been the bar. Classic local's spot w/ better-than-you'd-expect food. Opt for a whole bottle and just try not to order the fries, I dare you.
Shirley Liu: Cute wine bar -- get the sliders and fries with truffle aoili to share

Jacob Van De Weert: The ribeye comes with some homemade thick-cut fries. Which are delicious on their own, but drowning them in the marrow gravy is a must for ultimate deliciousness.
Dens: Classiest place for breakfast in the hood. Sure, the bacon egg & cheese sandwich is $13, but is a reeeaaaallllyyy good $13 breakfast sandwich :)
Thrillist: The Cavalier is giving you exactly what you want with an all-day, every-day breakfast and lunch that also happens to be bacon-sandwich-level delicious. Read more.
