Erol Layiktez: Parmesan Brioche is delish!
Lina L: Belgian waffle and Parmesan brioche were delicious.
Andrew Curry: The Caffe Mocha - Tcho Chocolate is one of the best mochas you can find, seriously. It's perfectly balanced in terms of sweetness, coffee flavor, & ever so slight bitterness from the amazing chocolate

Jonathan Howard: Try the "Cowgirl": order a Cowboy w/ Parmesan instead of cheddar. Or the "Reverse Cowgirl": Order it on baby spinach.
heat: The line will be long, but the concept is fun. An all organic salad bar, you can pick from pre-made combinations, or create your own unique salad. Try the Maui or the Bachelor.
Jinnie L: Great spot to enjoy healty lunch ;P Maui salad is really good ($15 is little too expensive though..) but everything is so fresh n delicious so it is worth it :)

Christopher Westcott: A great wine selection. Definitely do pick a few of their whites. Oddly enough, my favorite dish was the complimentary grilled cheese and tomato soup snack ;-) But definitely try the tuna tartare too.
Rima Alisa: The herb roasted lamb is de-lici-ous!
Mike Tito: I was welcomed with Grilled Cheese and Soup.. I think that should be something that every restaurant should do!

Shina: Build your own salad for a little under $10 and you actually get to eat everything you like. Long lines but it goes by fast!
Eric Blessing: Best tossed salad outside of Folsom Prison.
Incase: Lines tend to get long here, so show up early. All their ingredients are fresh and they hand toss your salad for you. Cobb Salad is really good.

Alice: Lamb shank was bomb. The black bean soup was pretty unique- not for everyone, but I liked it.
Lynn Mia: Absolutely reserve the Chef's Table AND "The Full Experience" (tour of the restaurant, private wine tasting w/the sommelier,and cook w/the chef). 8 course meal, $20 corkage fee. Read more.
SFGate: Feeling fancy? Mark Dommen is one of the best, but least hyped, chefs in the Bay Area. His six-course tasting menu ($79) is a bargain for the quality. Try the chocolate toffee almond crunch cake here. Read more.

Fred Wilson: Complimentary morning yoga, often but not always with a spectacular view of the bay bridge, is awesome here
Andy McMillan: Probably the highlight of my stay in this 5* boutique hotel was the large vomit stain on the carpet of Room 345. Really tied the room together.
