John "JT" T.'s Profile

I went to Prospect for the first time this past Valentine's day. For the most part I was very impressed. The service was impeccable, the menu was great, and the wine did not disappoint. I also liked the ambiance. Although it is a bit big and sterile, it's also got nice touches. It's a pretty big space and there are probably somewhat different seating experiences to be had, plus there's a bar.

Anyway, I ordered the grilled calamari and octopus appetizer and the Kobe beef (it was under a different name). I really enjoyed both but I was disappointed by the portion size, especially the main dish. I know it's a trendy gourmet place, but I still get somewhat upset when I spend over $30 on a steak that doesn't fill me up. In this case I got two very small pieces of meat probably totaling 4 or 5 ounces with a few tiny (yet tasty) tidbits on the side. My GF had the duck three ways, which was amazing, and maybe more food than my steak.

I fully recommend this place, but don't come expecting a feast to be had. There are plenty of amazing restaurants that give you a ton of food. The lamb shank at Kokkari comes to mind.

I love the food here and the building is really cool. Seems like it was a garage at some point. The italian sub is amazing. They actually slice the meat as they make the sandwich and all the ingredients seem very high quality. My biggest complaint is that the portions are not nearly big enough. The italian sub is ok, but the other sandwiches are puny. If they made things a little more hearty it would be 5 stars...

I think Coco500 might have just become my favorite restaurant in the city. I'll have to try it a few more times, but after my first experience I'm excited about it.

The service was great, the atmosphere even better, and the food top notch. I would recommend the grilled squid appetizer as it was one of (if not) the best squid dishes I've ever had (I eat lots of squid too). The pork shoulder was also phenomenal.

I also loved the dining room area. I thought it was modern but cozy and made me want to stay all night. Our waiter was great too. He had good recommendations, was quick and attentive, but didn't come around too often either. The prices are fair for the quality. I'll be coming back soon to try the famous beef cheek dish...

My GF and I were looking for a nice place to go out for dinner near my place in SoMa and after not being able to get a reservation at some of the more popular spots we decided to try Radius. We were very impressed but there is definitely some room for improvement.

The food was very good, but just a little shy of phenomenal. We started with the Fresh Fig & Blue Cheese Salad which was tasty but a little light even for a salad in my opinion. I wished it had more goodies in it. The crispy pancetta on top was bomb though. For the main course I had the lamb shank and she had vegetarian ravioli. The ravioli was actually the more remarkable of the two, it was easily on par with similar dishes I've had at Farina and A16. The Lamb shank was great in theory, but leg itself was a little too fatty and not quite as meaty as others I've had (like at Mission Beach Cafe). If all they did was get a nicer leg from the butcher I think all my reservations would go away.

The service here was top notch, but there was just something a little lacking about the place as a whole. The menu seems a little confused and disjointed and the decor is sparse to the point of being unwelcoming. It wasn't exactly a room I'd like to relax and enjoy myself in for more than an hour or so. Not sure exactly what it was, but that's how I feel. I'd definitely recommend this spot and I hope it continues to get even better.

After about 3 months with my bike I just wanted to report on more good things from Marin bikes. I've stopped by the shop two times in the interim, once for a brake adjustment and once for some creaking in my pedals. Both times I was treated to a full and thorough tune-up free of charge and above and beyond attention to detail. They even fixed small things like splitting rubber handlebar grips (replaced) without me even asking. These guys rock.

This place was very delicious and I enjoyed the atmosphere. I thought it was a tad overpriced though for the service and type of food, although they made up for it with larger than average servings. They also had a top-notch beer and wine selection.

This is the best indian food I've had maybe ever, but definitely in the city. Now add to that the fact that it's also the least expensive.

I highly recommend the tandoori fish, chicken tikka masala, and lamb vindaloo.

I got a bad batch of something here. After some enchiladas I came home and ralphed. That's all I have to say about that...

This place is a perfect stop on the way into/out of Sonoma proper. They have delicious, highly-customizable sandwiches and, as noted by many, the beef jerky is excellent. I've stopped here a few times to grab stuff for a wine country picnic or just to enjoy a snack on their nice outdoor seating. They make a mean Italian sub but can probably put together almost anything you can think of and I recommend the BBQ jerky, but you can sample all the flavors and decide for yourself. If you're looking for a great lunch that's way easier on your wallet than eating in the square and probably better than most places, look no further...

This place is so so at best. The sushi is mediocre and not worthy of the rather high prices and they play awful music too loud, accompanied by crappy TV shows like "Cops". Although the staff is nice and the service is above average, it does not make up for the costs incurred and the lack of satisfaction.

I'd hit up Warakabune or Sushi Time, which are both fairly close, easily over this place.
