El Granada, CA 94018

Kingpin X. writes: Kinda stumbled on this place - just off of HWY 1 - in fact you can see the ocean and the crowded parking lot of Sam's Chowder House as you dine here - but this could not be further from the awful hustle of humanity that I imagine lurks inside Sam's…

200 Jackson Street
San Francisco, CA 94111

San Francisco, CA 94121

Ed to the M. writes: 4 Hot Babes Dined About Town here at Aziza. Well, it was actually officially called 3 Hot Babes and One Loud Sweaty Fat Chinky Guy Dine About Town, but we shortened it to 4 Hot Babes because it sounds better. We're pragmatists. Tanya Z, Maria D,…

Mediterranean Delite

1620 El Camino Real
San Carlos, CA 94070

Jennifer L. writes: Thanks to David P. for suggesting I order a falafel sandwich in a pita pocket - yum! It's not their standard way of serving it, but it should be. It's much better this way!

Attentive, friendly service. I still always do take-out. This is a great…

Mediterranean Spirit
Neighborhood: Nob Hill

1303 Polk St
San Francisco, CA 94109

Java Supreme
Neighborhood: Mission

703 Guerrero St
San Francisco, CA 94110

Jen R. writes: This little coffeeshop is across the street from my old apartment in the Mission, so it has a special place in my heart. The owner isn't exactly chatty, but he's a good guy and makes it a point to know his regulars' usual drink. It's pretty spare --…

Yumma's
Neighborhood: Inner Sunset

721 Irving Street
San Francisco, CA 94122

Kristina R. writes: Ab-Fab. That describes this place to a tee!

I love that show. Almost as much as I love these schwarmas. They're amazingly good, and could feed two...if one of the two wasn't ME.

The little pickled vegetables hidden in the folds were like finding…

Rainbow Pizza

112 De Anza Blvd
San Mateo, CA 94402

m e l i s s a A. writes: UPDATE: 09/23/2007

The more I eat here, the more I like it!

I enjoyed the variations of fetuccini in cream sauce. The calamari is a "must order" per visit. The "Meat Lovers" pizza I found to be tastier than the Greek American.

I've brought several…

Mezze Restaurant and Bar
Neighborhood: Lakeshore, Lower Hills

3407 Lakeshore Ave
Oakland, CA 94610

Maya S. writes: This place is so great.

They started with am amuse bouche, which tickled my fancy. I am poor and rarely eat at places that offer this. It made me feel fancy, right in my own hood. The cold apple and ginger soup that was offered on the day that I…

San Francisco, CA 94103

Saha
Neighborhood: Nob Hill

1075 Sutter St
Inside the Carlton Hotel
San Francisco, CA 94109

andy r. writes: When your friendly neighborhood vegan invited this meat-a-tarian to dinner at Saha, I was at first skeptical. I usually don't do well with meat substitutes, such as satan (that's how I spell it, 'cause that's what it tastes like). Fortunately, it was…

Meesha's Berkeley Gyros

2519 Durant Avenue
Suite C
Berkeley, CA 94704

Astaria

50 E 3rd Ave
San Mateo, CA 94401

kim n. writes: Definitely a sleeper in downtown San Mateo. Yes the clientele maybe more on the lines of older housewives trying to figure out how to spend their husbands executive salaries but the food is tasty enough to overlook that. Had an excellent roasted red…

Cafe Petra
Neighborhood: Mission

483 Guerrero St
San Francisco, CA 94110

Kasey S. writes: I was in need of some self-indulgence today. My favorite nail place is closed on Mondays. Happily, a cute little salon has opened up right around the corner from me, where I can go (hooray they're open on Mondays) when I want to feel enveloped in…

Sultan Kebab
Neighborhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin

637 Larkin St
San Francisco, CA 94109

Rocco B. writes: On holiday in Bermuda, we ate at a great Moroccan restaurant with similar fare--Kebabs, Falafel, and other middle eastern specialties. It was equally as great as Sultan Kebab--well seasoned meat with tasty salads.

The difference?

On vacation, I paid…

Baladie Gourmet Cafe
Neighborhood: Financial District

337 Kearny Street
San Francisco, CA 94108

Autumn K. writes: I'm sort of a nightmare to be in a relationship with. The road behind me is littered with all kinds of men who just couldn't hack it with me. I wasn't hedonistic enough for Party King of SF, I was too much PARTY for the PartyBot himself, and I was…

2210 Fillmore St
San Francisco, CA 94115

Alhana Foods Mediterranean Restaurant & Grocery

25 37th Ave
San Mateo, CA 94403

kevo m. writes: Wallace and Gromit didn't have to go to the moon for their cheese. They could have come to Alhana.

Lancashire, Cheddar, Wensleydale, Philadelphia, Tesco's... We don't even have a Tesco's here, much less any of their cheese... I'm guessing Safeway…

NOPA
Neighborhood: Western Addition/NOPA

560 Divisadero St
San Francisco, CA 94117

megan w. writes: If you're docking this place stars because they're not absolutely perfect, then you have NO IDEA what it takes to open a restaurant in this town. When I was a board member in the local neighborhood association, I watched this space sit empty as one…

Ararat Mediterranean
Neighborhood: Castro

4072 18th St
San Francisco, CA 94114

Goood Frikin Chicken
Neighborhood: Bernal Heights

10 29th St
San Francisco, CA 94110

Ed U. writes: If you are in a frikin' bad mood and all you want is frikin' something to eat but you can't get the frikin' car to start and then the frikin' thing works and you go over to the frikin' Mission but can't find a frikin' parking space....you must be…

Sammy's Smoke & Snacks
Neighborhood: Union Square

213 Sutter Street
San Francisco, CA 94108

I was in downtown with appointments and…

Ayola #2
Neighborhood: Financial District

327 Kearny St
San Francisco, CA 94108

Valeria R. writes: At most of the other places along this stretch of Kearny, it's necessary to call in your order ahead of time unless you want to stand around for 15 minutes waiting for your food. Not so at Ayola. Within minutes of paying, you are being handed your…

Zatar
Neighborhood: Downtown Berkeley

1981 Shattuck Ave
Berkeley, CA 94704

Nish N. writes: Zatar is one of those restaurants that should be on every foodie's list to try at least once. It's Mediterranean in theme, but just as importantly all about organic foods and sustainability. The husband and wife team behind the place pour their…

Cetrella Bistro

845 Main St
Half Moon Bay, CA 94019

Kara D. writes: The bar at Cetrella is my favorite place in HMB to meet a friend for a drink. There is a little galley off the bar with a fireplace that you can sit and order some bar food. The bar food includes apps to gourmet burgers. The "pizzas" are more…

Simply Greek
Neighborhood: North Oakland, Piedmont Ave

4060 Piedmont Ave
Oakland, CA 94611

Jessica G. writes: Look, are there any actual Greeks behind that counter? I'm all for equal opportunity employers, but you know how you should never frequent a taqueria with a skinny white chick in the kitchen? The same should go for Greek food. I mean, fine, anyone…

Ecco

322 Lorton Ave
Burlingame, CA 94010

Arick R. writes: This place is my favorite restaurant outside of San Francisco. It has everything you can ask for in a dining experience. The service staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They aren't overly attentive and in your face. The setting is nice and the decor…

Santorini

753 Laurel St
San Carlos, CA 94070

lucy k. writes: So I have to give Santorini five stars to bring up its average. The best thing about it? IT'S NOT A CHAIN! It is a fantastic little hole-in-the-wall in San Carlos. In addition to the fact that it serves the best gyro on the Peninsula, it is…

Krivaar Cafe & Catering
Neighborhood: Financial District

475 Pine St
San Francisco, CA 94104

Valeria R. writes: I used to get takeout from Krivaar frequently until I jumped on the Baladie ship a few years ago and kind of forgot about it. Then Ryan D mentioned it in a talk thread earlier this week and I realized I was long overdue for a visit to the flirty man…

Troya
Neighborhood: Inner Richmond

349 Clement St
San Francisco, CA 94118

Brenda Kaye W. writes: Have you ever seen how little kids eat? They get food all over the table. I'm frequently surprised that any food even makes it in their mouths. They've got sauce smeared on their sleeves and faces. It's almost as bad as the way I eat.

It's always…

Baraka
Neighborhood: Potrero Hill

288 Connecticut St
San Francisco, CA 94107

Nicole G. writes: Mmmm... Baraka. Situated on a quiet corner, this Potrero Hill favorite provides the ideal setting for candle-lit conversation and tempts you to sink ever deeper into plush Moroccan cushions and keep tilting that wine glass back.

Eating at Baraka is…
