Truly impressive garnishes on the drinks
Drinks are way too sweet, the weird fog machine is...weird. And we saw a bartender drop a whole bunch of pineapple garnish skewers on the floor & just pick them up & put them back on the bar. Gross.
This beautiful bar and restaurant is a neighborhood hangout. We love the elaborate garnishes.
Made with Hangar One vodka, Douglas Fir and calvados brandies, maple and lemon, the Spruce Goose at Spruce in San Francisco brings some heat to the mix with its flaming lemon peel garnish. Read more.
DRINKS with the head Bartendar Aileen is a MUST!!! Sit @ the bar and enjoy the magical experience. Side note: burgers are a favorite.
Waterbar has built a deliciously decadent experience atop a traditional bloody mary foundation, garnishing the drink with a seasoning of Old Bay on the rim, two whole slices of bacon, & jumbo shrimp. Read more.
This well touristed Embarcadero seafood spot does a brawny (and prawn-y) version of a Bloody Mary with Ketel One, a house-made spice mix, bacon, and a large Gulf prawn as garnish. Read more.
Amazing food and amazing service all with the backdrop of the Bay Bridge and the Embarcadero. Do get the clam chowder and bay chips together!
The Castro hangout features a Bloody with bacon-infused vodka, and a bacon garnish, which goes quite nicely with a tray of their Killer Nachos, should you be that hungover any given Sunday. Read more.
Excellent bar food, great Bloody Mary’s, good game crowds!
The burgers here are by far the best in the city. Especially when it's hand deliver by the hot jock staff!! Now time for more beer!
Their bloodies sub asparagus for celery, and are also garnished with lemon, lime, pickled green beans, and some wonderful salt. Read more.
Awesome local bar. Has great greyhounds, and lot of TVs for football Sunday's!
You'll always get into trouble
Had the Tinga Tostadas. Yum! Also try out the Lolò gin and tonic. Love the juniper berry garnish.
If you love the tropical shrimp taco with jicama shell, ask for the jicama shell on other tacos. Delicious!
Weird weird decor, but don't be distracted. Delicious brunch menu with no wait (not sure how long this will last). Also the fresh horchata Pina Colada made me feel like I was on vacation.
This is the place for tandoori love, piece by piece - well-seasoned, moist within, and garnished with charred onions and a side salad. Butter chicken is a delicious deal, too. Read more.
Good food and clean environment. Better than Shalimar, Chutney and Naan n Curry
Lamb biriyani is good here
The pescado ceviche is a must; you'll devour the corn fritter garnish.
It's like they went into my dreams and made the perfect menu. Delicious steak, ceviche, empanadas, grilled artichokes, dulce de leche, malbec, bourbon-based drinks.
everything is amazing, but definitely don't miss the croquetas and the bone marrow.
Surprisingly good place for lunch. Roasted chicken over saffron rice is one of my favorites. Also has a great alcohol selection
Great gourmet food made in house. Always busy during office lunch hours due to the close proximity of UCSF. Johnny (owner) is down to earth, caring, and potentially will play a song on his keyboard.
Some of the best sandwiches have been from this funny, little corner store. There's wi-fi, and say hey to David. He's great!
The food was good but it took over 30 minutes for my take out order to be ready. Will call ahead next time.
Great place for Filipino catering.
Get the 6-person combo if you have 6 hungry friends! Simple and tasty.
It's a make-your-own Bloody Mary situation at Elixir, with a selection of hot sauces, pickled garnishes, dry seasonings (Old Bay and celery salt, anyone?), and house-made mix. Read more.
whisky is always the best choice. awesome bar, awesome selection.
Elixir looks like your average, unassuming "saloon," but just take a look at the cocktail list and you'll understand the wizardry that goes on behind the stick.
The Smokey Joe sandwich is delicious. Smoked chicken, jalapeño jam and cheese melted in a panini. Great butcher shop and fresh fish too!
The "Lambwich" panini sandwich was quite possibly the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. EVER. My wife usually hates lamb but thought it was delicious.
Local woman owned butcher shop in Bernal Heights specializing in breaking down primal cuts in -house. Knowledgeable staff with great enthusiasm. -Preeti Mistry, Top Chef
Great place for lunch and breakfast. Hidden away but worth the find
They make amazing fully decorated or ready to decorate Gingerbread houses here. Stop by and grab one for some holiday fun!
the ice cubes in their iced coffee are MADE OUT OF FROZEN ICED COFFEE. THIS IS THE BEST THING!
Fantastic bar tending and kitchen. Mix mellow vibe with splash of old school, garnish with a sprig of hip San Francisco - stir - and enjoy.
Highly recommend deviled eggs, burger, baked oysters and poulet vert!
Try the Marlowe Burger (Niman beef on brioche with caramelized onions/bacon/horseradish aioli). Read more.
The "restaurant-style" fried chicken is brined and thinly battered with well seasoned buttermilk batter, and garnished with roasted garlic, salt, fried herbs, and lemon, and it's damn good. Read more.
Devils on horseback, lamb shank sandwich, and burger are all fantastic. Chocolate custard for desert.
Tell the waiter to keep the popovers coming
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
