I was working on something really important (watching the Betty White clips from last week's SNL) when I realized that my battery was no longer charging my laptop. Panic. I'm the only person in SF who doesn't have a Mac. No one I can borrow a charger from. More panic. My laptop is a few models back, so I might not be able to get one today. Hyper-panic. I'm gonna have to listen to all the Mac people tell me how great...oh, wait...this is a battery problem, they won't have much to say about that...
I'm watching the battery life indicator drop as if it's the level of oxygen in the room. I'm scrambling to find a computer store that will have one for my laptop. The first one that came up was InfoTech. The owner, Malek, told me that they do computer repair and network engineering (MCSE), but no parts. I was ready to hang up and move on, but he started asking me questions about the battery and the charger. He told me that I might be trying to solve the wrong problem. I'm down to 17% battery life, but he sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I raced over to his shop and within minutes my laptop's problem is diagnosed and I'm on my way to recovery, internet addiction intact.
I realize that this is kind of a small problem, but I was there long enough to watch Malek work with several other customers with "real" problems. He's very knowledgeable and honest, he's been in business for 7 years and he's Microsoft Certified. I've had repairs with two other Yelp recommended shops in SF, but I'd definitely go back to InfoTech first.

We started with the charcuterie plate. Standard fare cheese and an amount of foie gras terrine that would be perfect for someone who doesn't actually like foie gras terrine. The lamb shank with goat cheese polenta was really good. Perfectly tender lamb and perfectly creamy polenta. The food was three and a half star good. Nothing wrong, just nothing especially exciting. The spotty service turned the 3 1/2 into a 3 star experience save for the excellent company. Entrees weren't served at the same time, mix up with the wine vintage (wrong bottle) and general confusion among the staff. I wouldn't rush back considering other comparably priced options.

But you won't feel compelled to "check-in."
The okonomiyaki, renkon, hotate, etc are average, but you're there for the the sake and, let's be honest, the late night East Village vibe. The scene verges on something out of Indie flick central casting, but the place stays packed and the only bar in the city with a more extensive sake list than Decibel is her more refined sister restaurant, Sakagura, in Midtown.

Thai Thai Noodle
Category:

Neighborhood: Nob Hill
They were not good.
And my expectations were low.
The drunken noodles were really wide and ridiculously doughy and greasy. The peanut sauce for the chicken satay would have been completely bland were it not for being overly sweet and tasted like oily peanut butter.
The second star is for their willingness to take advantage of the fact that I'll forget how bad it is some night at 1am and go back and they will still be open at that hour.

We started with the salt cod brandade and the duck imperial rolls. The salt cod was rich, creamy deliciousness, but the duck was the clear winner. Mostly duck, a little spicy, very lightly fried, completely wonderful.
The Coca Cola braised pork shoulder was worth 5 stars and then some, but the Beef Wellington wasn't. The outside was "over-seared" as if the temperature was too high. Disappointing, but somewhat redeemed by the roasted marrow butter and Yorkshire Pudding.
Our waiter was attentive and suggested perfect pairings.
Sadly, no room for dessert, but definitely going back soon.

I'd like to thank ESPN and the power of prayer (his, not mine) for bringing Tim Tebow to sports bars throughout the Bay Area. I'd like to thank Dick Branson for flying the people I love, Wi-Fi'd and mood lit, straight to SFO. And now I'd like to thank the fabulous people at CatHead's BBQ for bringing pulled pork to SoMa in a way that pork isn't usually pulled in SoMa.
Amen.

If you are a regulated financial institution, insurance company, governmental agency, or non-regulated business with equity capital in excess of $50 million and have loans you want to sell, and you are shopping for a secondary lender on Yelp, your rate might be a little higher.
