If you are in this area I definitely recommend stopping in at this restaurant for a bite to eat. The service was excellent, it is a lovely sunny room and our burger and beer were delicious! Worth checking out! More

I eat here every time I visit San Francisco. The history of the building itself would be enough for a visit, and the view of the ocean (and the occasional ships) is beautiful. The best part, as it should be, is the food. Even breakfast holds some surprising twists that make, for example, an omelette more than your basic fare.... More

Well, their lattes are the worst, but I love the space & ambience. Get ripped off with bad service and bad food. The pizza is good, though, and Taco Tuesday is fun. Slow kitchen. Not too sure the bartenders or waiters "care." Tourist prices. I prefer the Park Chalet downstairs which is light and airy, opening onto GG Park as... More

This seemed like the perfect place...with most tables with view of the Pacific. Crowded, very noisy. First off, if sunny day towards late afternoon it is very bright and warm next to the window even with shade down. Then you don't get view. Service was attentive but very slow. Maybe it was the problem with the food being slow because... More

We really enjoyed the great view of the Pacific. Walked from the Land's End area. The prices are very reasonable. Public transportation is very convenient too. More

Brunch here was good - food was excellent and view was amazing. Prices were a tad high but you've got to pay for that lovely view somehow. Full bar for your mimosa and bloody mary needs. Only real complaint was that the big couch like booths had really dirty/shabby upholstery in need of serious cleaning or replacement. I would definately... More
