Food Scene

The owner's of Burma Superstar have a second location that takes reservations! So if you don't want to wait in line this is a great option.

Often considered the best Burmese food in SF but there is almost always a super long line! The place is definitely a hot-spot so if you don't mind the wait the food is delicious and the atmosphere is fun. Order the tea leaf salad.

go when it is cold or a strange time of day to avoid the lines. There is also a second location on Devisadero that is less crowded. Super yummy ice cream. Take it and wander around the newly re-done Mission Dolores Park.

This place has been around forever and has consistently great food and cocktails. It is a little bit fancy for SF so if you are dressed to go to the theater or ballet it is a good spot. You need reservations.

Great places for muscles and traditional french food (though they also have mexican food on the menu). They don't take reservations so if you are stuck on a weekend at 7pm with no place to eat put your name down here.

This place is fairly fancy, but the food is excellent. It caters to an older (and richer) clientele then most SF restaurants so if you are looking for something a bit more grown-up feeling this is a great place to go. They have a bar where you can get their famous burger (about $20) and sit in big leather chairs which is a lovely way to spend a night.

The lines are LONG! Like really long! If it is the off-season or you have a newspaper and aren't particularly hungry it is worth it. But sadly I think you should probably go elsewhere in the summer. There are lots of other great spots! Like eats on our corner which is seriously almost as good.
