Amina: Saw Owl City here....awesome! The venue is small and intimate, so reserving a table in the balcony means that you can sit down and watch your performance but still see and hear everything well.
Amanda Van West: This is one of our favorite venues in SF. Just small enough to feel intimate, but always a buzzing crowd. And FYI, there are bathrooms downstairs!
Lauran Price: Such a great place! Especially if you want an intimate experience with the artist!

Daniel Pearson: Speakeasy-esque atmosphere, craft cocktails, and hipster bar staff. If you're looking for a romantic and dimly-lit date spot, this would be a good choice.
Francesca Hernandez: Love love this bar! Nice and intimate. Rosemary Clooney is awesome.
Precilla Zambrano: Great date spot.

Ashley Yue: Cute and intimate wine bar that serves a good selection of natural wine.
Alison Tarwater: Great wine, lots of knowledge, chill vibe, great music selection and upstairs area is really great for privacy/working (they have wifi)

Trishia Pascobillo: Afternoon tea for two, with champagne was lovely. Had the 100 anniversary tea...loved the florals and warm scones :) The Pear finger sandwich was my favorite.
Soo Wai Eng: Very good Sunday brunch!
Bloomingdale's: There’s nothing more civilized than weekend afternoon tea. Especially if you consume the finger sandwiches and scones amid the splendiferous turn-of-the-century trappings.

Rishi Shah: Definitely some of the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten. The flat bread, olives and main chicken dish are mouth watering!
Henna Abbas Merchant: The tasting menu was amazing. If you're in the mood for something a little lighter I recommend the cod. Loved the drink menu and wine selection!
California Girl: From the chef that brought you Aziza, Mourad is a design delight as well as very tasty. Chef Mourad regaled us with lots of starters, but the lamb and ribs were mouth-wateringly delightful.

Will Bertelsen: Bespoke cocktails inside of Oddjob. I asked for a spicy whiskey cocktail and was beyond thrilled with the result. It had rye, two kinds of chillies, artichoke liqueur (presumably cynar) and more.
Angie H: SRO is to Oddjob what Hideout is to Dalva. It's a classy affair with no menu & a bartender who customizes your cocktail to your personal taste preferences. Expensive and cash only but worth it!
Cristina Silva: Joey has my heart

Queenie C.: Romantic spot. Start your day off with breakfast end your night with dessert. Doesn't hurt that it's next to Hotel Zetta...also a hip spot to stay when in SF.
Sean Sheppard: Outstanding food at a great location. Make a reservation and try the Dripping Chips! #df13 #sf #food
Dens: Classiest place for breakfast in the hood. Sure, the bacon egg & cheese sandwich is $13, but is a reeeaaaallllyyy good $13 breakfast sandwich :)
