Kaela Stuart: Love this neighborhood spot! Have never had a less-than-delicious meal here, from wine selection through to dessert. Try the classic escargot.

Afnan Fahim: Braised beef
herm pugay: A new upscale Moroccan restaurant similar to Aziza. Try the duck liver with pistachio, cocoa, turnip and satsuma or the basteeya with duck, almond and golden raisin. $$$$

JoAnne Kao: Pork belly! Delicious beef soup and braised beef. Everything's good. Go hungry.
Tim Macalino: A HYPNOTIC dinner!Massaman Nuea( braised beef cheeks in massaman curry, coconut milk, burnt shallots, potatoes).
Guillaume R.: A little difficult to find as the entrance is on the South-East corner of Mason and Ellis. Extremely flavorful and delicious, lots of great beers and bold flavors. The Namprik Long Rua is to die for.

Taco Restaurant · North Beach · 63 tips and reviews
Omar Haroun: Braised beef short rib taco just made me climax. Or maybe it was the tequila list. Either way I'm taking a nap
Justin Salsburey: Tacolicious is all about the braised beef tacos.
Caroline Jack: If you like a spicy cocktail go for a Margarita Picante! I know people rave about the tacos but I don't love them. Go for a mix of the small plates - squid, tuna tostadas, meatballs, guac...

Alex Hisaka: Make reservations before dinner. Wait times can sometimes be 45-60 minutes! Also, the pasta with stuffed braised beef is to die for.
J John: The pizza here is top-3 in San Francisco, maybe even number one (the crust is just perfect). Pasta made from scratch, great salumi appetizers, and a short rib fetucine to die for. Amazing service, A++
Eater: Since it opened, F+W has been making waves with its sophisticated pizzas and pasta, but even more impressive is that it's lived up to the hype. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Patricio Aguilar: They are offering a wine and food tasting this month featuring Cuvaison Winery. I had the cabernet sauvignon paired with slow braised beef cheeck and it was amazing.
herm pugay: Pages and pages of martini's ($14), any way it's made. The views, the live bands and the dancing. There's also the small plates with Dungeness crab($22) and the salmon on a chip.
Mike Davis: DO NOT GET THE FOURSQUARE MARTINI. It's teal.

German Restaurant · Hayes Valley · 240 tips and reviews
Katy: You really can't go wrong with comfort food- and german food is the ultimate comfort food. Try the spätzle, a pasta dish with plenty of cream and cheese, with a Radler to wash it down!
Holger Lüdorf: Trust this tip by a German: Drink the Kölsch on tap and the Schneider Weisse from the bottle. Potato pancakes and the Schnitzel were both good. Get it with the Spätzle though.
Mazda: Suppenküche is not an ordinary restaurant: it is more like a traditional German Wirtshaus.
