The coffee here is AMAZING.
I'm drinking a latte right now. I'm definitely coming back for more. Perhaps some running equipment while I wait?
If you're on/around California Ave. in Palo Alto and you want some coffee, check this place out.

Tony's Pizza Napoletana
Categories: Cooking Schools, Pizza
Neighborhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
The margherita pizza here is amazing. The sauces that came with the bread were delicious. The salad I had for an appetizer was really good. The pizzas serve two people. With drinks and food it ended up costing about $19 per person. Not bad at all considering how great the experience was. "Tony" came out to check on us several times.
I was entertained by how different the traditional pizza was when compared to the "american" pizza. Thin crust is definitely the way to go.

The Creamery
Categories: Coffee & Tea, Creperies
Neighborhood: SOMA
I've been to the Creamery a couple times. Once when it opened and there was no food or decorations (I thought it was early to write a review). I went again this morning. There's crepes and breakfast sandwiches on the menu now!
The lattes are small but amazing. Not quite as good as Blue Bottle, but still great.
I also had a pre-made "roasted garlic hummus wrap with crunchy vegetables." It was disgusting. I didn't taste any hummus. It was soggy. The "vegetables" were 4 pieces of celery. Seriously this thing was just a pile of cold, wet pita bread (-1 star).
This place is also dark and depressing inside (-1 star).
I MAY go back to try a breakfast sandwich. Who knows. Like I said above, I prefer Blue Bottle for both food and coffee.

Nectar probably has the best service I have ever experienced in a restaurant. The waitress was entertaining, patient, informative, and attentive.
The presentation of the cheese plate was fabulous. It was also thoroughly delicious.
The presentation of the wine flights was amazing. The glasses were placed on top of cards that provided details about the wines.
A really cool home-made invention was used to deliver the flights. I hope to buy this thing someday. It was a metallic device with 3 rings/slots for carrying multiple wine glasses with one hand.
Also, and I usually don't notice this, the decor was great.
I am DEFINITELY a repeat customer. I can't wait to go back for dinner instead of just wines and cheeses.

I came here to try some wines with a friend. The service was mediocre. The waitress had no interest in discussing the wines. She wanted to take our order as fast as possible (-1 star). When the wines were delivered the glasses were written on with a marker to determine which was which. Poor presentation (-1 star).
Decent cheese plate.
Decent prices.
I probably won't become a repeat customer.

Samovar Tea Lounge
Categories: Coffee & Tea, Restaurants, Tea Rooms
Neighborhood: Hayes Valley
This place is pretty damn cool. I like that it's a few blocks from downtown Hayes Valley. I usually don't notice decor, but this place has an awesome setup. Everything is thought out: utensils, glasses, pots, seating, etc. Our server (waitress?) was knowledgeable and helpful. When I asked for something she replied "of course". I can't explain why but that felt really nice.
I had a berry iced tea that was enjoyable. I also ordered poached eggs with salmon, brown rice, and soy sauce. Soooooo delicious. I'm definitely going back to try some more teas.

This place is crowded, noisy, and hectic. However, the food is really good and it's worth the wait. I highly recommend the butter corn noodles. Delicious and not expensive at all!

Nama Sushi
Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars
Neighborhood: SOMA
I had lunch at Nama on a Thursday. Thankfully it wasn't crowded at all. My friend and I sat at the sushi bar. They were out of Kirin Light so I had a Sapporo Light which I didn't enjoy. The sushi, however, was amazing. So fresh and delicious. I always order a Rainbow Roll at sushi restaurants, and this one was really good. I also tried a Ryan Roll, and I highly recommend it to all of you. This place is definitely worth checking out. I'll be a returning customer soon enough.

Trattoria Contadina
Category: Italian
Neighborhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
I came here around 7pm on a Saturday. They said there were no available tables until 9:30pm. Wow that's discouraging. However, there was room at the small bar. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise since the bartender was so cool.
My friend and I shared an order of bruschetta (2 pieces). It was delicious.
I had ricotta ravioli with pesto sauce. It... was... amazing. My friend had gnocchi. Also amazing (I had several tastes haha).
At one point the bartender was making a drink with Absolut Raspberry and 7-Up. I commented by saying it sounded good. He made me a smaller version on the house!
I highly recommend this restaurant, but you better make a reservation if you want a table.

No Lists
David hasn't made any lists yet.
They brought plenty of materials to properly wrap up each piece the appropriate way. Some were easily wrapped in plastic while others required a temporary enclosure for protection.
Upon arrival they immediately hung up a few pieces perfectly.
They were really nice and enjoyable to have around. I highly recommend their services.
