Looks great! Do you generally have know what you plan to order or do you let the staff guide you when going to these great restraunts? A little bit of both. Sometimes we read reviews beforehand and see what the best dishes are and if we are still confused we ask the staff what they recommend. OK then, what are you leaning toward for tonight? |

How bout you 1955nyyfan ? Where do you live? Do you ever make it to NYC for food? Even if you don’t what are some of your favorite cuisines? No I dont. I live in the East Bay reasonably close to SF. My wife has had poor health for awhile so we don't get out to eat as much as we did a few years ago. There are several good restraunts near me that we visit from time to time. I also like to look for dog friendly places because my dog loves to eat out. Several places in Carmel that are both good food and dog friendly. I love a good steak. There was a French Restraunt near me that did a really good Pepper Steak which I don't think is on a lot of menu's anymore but they closed during the pandemic. Love Italian food and almost anything that comes from water. I cook a little bit and my go to's are Beef Wellington (I follow Tyler Florence's recipe pretty closely) or Halibut if we do somthing more upscale. If more casual we will grill pizza's on the outdoor grill. I love Napa Valley Wine so I'll try to pair somthing that works but I'm of the opinion that a great Napa Cab works with anything  . |

Sorry to hear about your wife 1955fan. My prayers that she feels better. You’re a man with good taste! I love steak and Italian! I posted about all the steakhouses in manhattan I’ve been to, it’s a good number of them. And Italian is probably my second favorite cuisine after Thai. I love that you can cook too! That is missing from my repertoire. That beef Wellington, halibut, and grilled pizza sounds delicious. If I ever visit my cousin in SF I’ll ask you for restaurant recommendations. Cheers! |

The House of Prime Rib in San Francisco is really good. It's old school, been there since the 1940's. There is a Steakhouse called Niku which I've been told is outstanding but I have never eaten there. The Tadich Grill is an old SF restraunt where you can get a good steak or excellent seafood (I think it's been there for since the 1840's). Scoma's is pretty good Italian and seafood, my wife loves their grilled scallops, nice view on the water. Bobo's is a fun steakhouse, they used to have a fixed menu featuring steak and dungeness crab but it's been awhile since I've been there. |

Also good Italian food in North Beach. If you get there try Tony's for really good pizza.

Thanks for the recommendations 1955nyyfan! I will bookmark your post for if I make it out to SF. My brother lives in LA so I visit him there but the last time I went to San Fran was like 2005 when I visited AT&T park. Beautiful stadium, whatever they’re calling it these days. 😆

I used to work a block from the Tadich Grill and enjoyed many a great lunch there. I believe it's the oldest restaurant in SF. |

An exhibition game against the Brewers. |
