The burgers blow and the fries are yucky.
Never again.
Note: this is coming from a person who eats Mc Donald's, Taco Bell, Carl's Jr. and the two for 99 cent tacos at Jack in the Crack. Don't hate.

If you are A) single and B) have a pulse, Wilfie & Nell always delivers.
I have met many, many beautiful people here (men and women).
Now that I think about it, WIflie & Nell is more consistent than the men in my life. I constantly go with high expectations, and they never disappointment. Ever. ;)

Gary Danko
Category:
American (New)
Neighborhood: Fisherman's Wharf
The three stars is solely for Gary Danko as an SF institution.
That said.
Don't let Michelin, Zagat and Frommer's approval stamps trick your taste buds into believing hype. Nods from guide books does not equate fantastic food(s).
I feel slightly bad dumping on Gary Danko, but this restaurant is perhaps one of the most overrated establishments of all time. The tastes are average, above average at best. Perhaps it could simply be his concoctions are not compatible with my palette. Everything is too darn rich.
If the ambiance was better maybe it excuses the mediocre food but it feels like I am sitting on top of other diners and the booths are super outdated...
Head to The Dining Room at The Ritz or Benu instead. Comparable price points.

Blue Ribbon Brasserie
Categories:

American (Traditional)
Neighborhood: South Village
A bunch of my food friends tell me I'm stuck in the 90's and mock my love for Blue Ribbon Brassiere.
I don't care. I love this place.
The entire staff is amazing. The fried chicken, even better. Louis the oyster shucker spoils me so much, I cannot eat oysters anywhere else. He just knows what I like. He shucks the oysters PERFECTLY. It's open until 4am. The bone marrow is frickin' fantastic. They treat me like family. I'm there at least once a week.
Easily, one of my favorite places in the City.

Roasting Plant
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: West Village
They use this machine that's a cross between a French Press and espresso maker, to pour every cup of coffee.
The results? Magical.
Dear Roasting Plant: I LOVE YOU.
ps: this place has Blue Mountain coffee. BLUE. MOUNTAIN.

Rarely, do I go into an establishment and put myself entirely in anothers' hands. The entire staff there know. their. sh*t. They comprehend my palate like no other. I sit back and enjoy the daily small plate specials paired with fantastic wines I will never remember.
Gem of a peach, Gottino's is.
Highly highly recommended.

Neighborhood: Lower East Side
I've been blind as a bat since 5th grade -- seriously, can't see anything without contacts or glasses.
I've lived in four countries and tens of cities. Never had an optometrist I'd return to. Nor have I ever recommended optometrists.
Wait. I lied. I've recommended Costco, only because they are cheap.
So of all the bajillion offices I've been to, Dr. Ho and his staff are hands down. The best. You will not be disappointed. The price is reasonable too!

Second thought, perhaps I should delete this review in case traffic increases and they raise their prices...

It was cringe worthy.
Never stepping foot in here again.
