Mad props for getting a giant wood burning oven into a food truck. Looks like they just launched the business so they only had one pizza on their "beta" menu. Fortunately their margherita was as solid as the shipping container they're cooking in. Very creative use of space and the giant glass panes allow you to peer inside. The folks hard at work seemed really friendly too.

Healthy takeout options for lunch. I always enjoy their quinoa salad option and I usually pair it with their vegan soup of the day. It's not cheap at $13 all in (large salad and bowl of soup), but I think it's worth the expense. Also there is rarely a big line even at peak times so you can get in and out in a hurry.

Received a personal note from their management about my review. I'm impressed with their response (appreciating my feedback, sincere desire to make up for it, etc). While I don't think this place is a good fit for me, it does suggest my onetime experience was not the norm. Upping them a star.

    While the actual massage was ok (and price relatively inexpensive for the area), overall the experience left me feeling... ugh. The waiting area is no frills, an old couch... some worn chairs. The massage room had relaxing music playing, but it was driving from Pandora on my masseuse's phone which meant there were a couple text interruptions (which she later shut off) and a few audio commercial breaks (!). My masseuse also seemed to have a cold, she was sucking on a lozenge and throwing out the occasional cough. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to get home and shower. Friends of mine have had a great experiences here, so perhaps mine was a fluke.

The only place with the part I needed! I tried 2 other hardware stores in the area looking for a particular replacement flapper for my toilet and no luck, but these guys came through. Staff is friendly and abundant, and the aisles are wider and shelves better organized than the other nearby stores. This will now be my first stop when I'm channeling my inner Bob Vila.

Your Match profile says you like long walks on the beach? Don't take your date here. It's small and a walk end to end would take you about 5 minutes. The good news is it's a beautiful non-touristy beach, perfect for when a rare fog-free San Francisco day hits. Not much to do here besides sun yourself and it's nestled in a secluded residential area, but that's also the charm.

Love this adorb coffee stand. They've got perfect coffee and a nice selection of baked goods. Whenever I'm passing through Yountville I end up stopping here for a caffeine fix. It's in a little caboose too... aww!

Staff was friendly, but I couldn't find much dedicated assistance in and around the tennis section. Fortunately the folks at the register happily helped me out. Tons of golf stuff of course, but only an ok collection of tennis rackets, strings and balls. They did string my racket the next day, which was great. Not a lot of tennis shops in San Francisco as it turns out, so if you're in need you can come here for the basics.

With almost the same solitude of Muir Woods (though not quite) you can get your tree fix on without stepping outside of San Francisco. A handful of trails take you snaking through trees, a golf course, and a military cemetery with a number of breathtaking overlooks along the way. You may just find your very own bodhi tree and the enlightenment that comes with it.

Healthy quick serve food in the Marina? I thought a deep frier was a building requirement for any restaurant in this hood. Joking aside, the cauliflower, chickpeas, and olives dish is quite awesome. The salmon is ok, a little salty... though I admittedly scarfed 3 large pieces all by myself, maybe I just OD-ed. Several veggie and meat-eater options are available, so no matter your preference you can now get a body-happy meal. No excuses!

Sent me a non-defensive and apologetic message, that's worth an additional star.

    Reservation for 7:15, seated by 7:50. I didn't hear anything from the staff until I complained to the guy running the show. His excuse? "Busier than expected"... isn't that what OpenTable and reservations are for? They belatedly offered to comp the first round of drinks, however when I got home I realized the drinks never came off the bill. Service was slow and generally apathetic. I had the oysters to start and a whole Maine lobster. The lobbie was served without the claws pre-cracked, which meant lobster juice went everywhere (apologies to the lady on my right).

    Sure they have a classic raw bar (oysters, crab, etc.), but they're also  pioneering what I'd call a Western/Californian interpretation of sushi. Many of the items on the menu are comprised of raw fish with fresh ingredients and unique sauces. The restaurant is cosy, only a couple of bar stools downstairs and 4 or 5 small tables in the main dining room (which has a low ceiling), so call ahead. The acoustics can be loud if there is a large group (as there was when I was there, but I think that was atypical).

    If you liked Canteen (cosy space, creative cuisine) you'll also enjoy Bar Crudo.
