Whisky Bar · Financial District · 31 tips and reviews
Mark Everett: Great collection of cigars, with a small but very nice selection of beer, wine, and cocktails to accompany your smoke. Let the very knowledgeable Evette guide your choices.
John Rinaldi: The best place in San Francisco to smoke a cigar!
meganificent: The bartender will spritz you with Febreze before you leave. He also has "stripper glitter perfume," which I do not recommend.

Curtis Shoung: Very fresh, made to order sandwiches using really good quality ingredients. Also great vegan options.
Margo Mary: Impossible taco salad and the curry couscous are so bomb
Andrew Norman: I like MF’s salad, but why pay tax on a “to go” salad at MF, when you can get a cheaper comp salad nearby at Cafe Venue! Total pricing is $5 more at MF ($11 CV Cobb vs $16 at MF Cobb)

Argentinian Restaurant · Financial District · 44 tips and reviews
Rheya Shano: Really great camarones empanada!!!
Garino Grande: The beef empanadas were the best. I tried pollo, jamon y queso, and carne, but the carne was definitely my favorite. Almost as good as my mother-in-law makes (she's from Buenos Aires).
Degan Walters: have the warm jamon y queso
Carol Cecil: Tons of places to eat and not enough time! I love the fish tacos from Gott's as well as the ahi tuna burgers.
Bravo: The Ferry Building is very popular, and I recommend it to anyone who is visiting San Francisco. They've got great restaurants (Slanted Door, MarketBar) and a morning farmer's market a few times a week
HISTORY: Opening in 1898, The Marketplace provides a distinctive space for bringing together the greater Bay Area's agricultural wealth and renowned specialty food purveyors under one roof.

Nick D'Ambrosi: All of the food on the menu is great! Not crowded during the weekend, even on game days!
Travis Henson: If you guys do not know, the place was taken over the the guys from tempest. Way better bar and the food will knock the socks off. The best thing to happen to the downtown bar scene.
Bob Hinrichs: A great burger. Lively crowd, good music, interesting great downtown location, cool friendly staff. Beer, cocktails; found a seat. Cool locals not touristy. That's a great SF experience.
