    This place is Special! If you're in the North Beach area and need a real breakfast, this is your spot. It is crazy busy, but they work fast and you'll be sat in no time. The menu covers all the staples and some real specialities like chilaquiles. Fantastic service, I really can't say that enough...these guys rock. For the win...House Coffee, Steak and Eggs, and a pancake side.

    We took Waymo to Pat's!

    We were visiting SF for a few days, and we were looking for a breakfast spot. We wanted a restaurant that was too far to walk to, but not too far to drive to. Why? We were going to take a Waymo (for the first time) to the restaurant, and were a little wary of driving too far with no one in the car except us. We made it - the ride was smooth and relaxing - however, the Waymo stopped just around the block from Pat's - it was a 'quick walk around the block'. We saw the party next to us had ordered pancakes and French Toast, both of which looked good. However, we both opted for the omelettes with biscuits and potatoes. I had cheese, mushrooms, onions and peppers. My partner had the same, only substituting the peppers for spinach. The omelettes were delicious-they must whip the eggs quite well to get such a fluffy and light texture. While the veggies tasted vibrant and fresh, the vegetables were not sautéed at all. I was a little surprised that they were added after slicing, as I'm used to a softer veggie in my omelette. The biscuits were very good - we asked for honey to drizzle on top, which is a favorite of mine! The potatoes were excellent - not greasy with a nice grill on the outside and soft inside.

    Granola, Banana Pancakes.

    What a great find! We went twice. LOVED the Ranchero breakfast. Friendly, clean and easy to get to from the trolley station!

    Pancakes special with eggs and bacon.

    Great food and great service. Our go to spot when we visit San Francisco. Definitely recommend!

    Checking this out for first time.  It is PACKED!

    Holly Shishito Peppers Batman! This place is amazing. Came at lunch on Sunday and it was packed to the rafters. Everyone on Yelp was raving on the crepes and pancakes. My Mom makes the best crepes so I went with one pancake since I sensed that would be enough, especially since I was gonna get the biscuits and gravy. The plate came and I was like Holy Toledo Robbin. The picture does not give it justice. There was so much food and so good. The pancake had to be a foot wide, and it came with melted butter already on it. I love butter with my pancake. There were 3 fluffy biscuits and massive amounts of gravy, plus two eggs and potatoes. I was in breakfast heaven. The biscuits and gravy were better than I have had in TX and that says something. I will be back every day this week to try other dishes.

    I love Pat's Cafe. Service is always thorough and helpful, and food comes out quickly. Today I got the Ranchero breakfast which is a fried crispy corn tortilla topped with black beans, egg, cheese and on the side there is sour cream and avocado. It's super tasty. I paired it with coffee. There is ample indoor seating and a few outdoor tables too. Super cute spot with cozy ambiance.

    We found Pat's Cafe while on a weekend birthday trip to the Bay Area. A really cozy spot with the fluffiest pancakes you could ever want! The service was excellent and quick. The latte made to perfection! This is a must stop if you are near Fisherman's Wharf!

    this is a 10/10 diner. As a self proclaimed diner connoisseur, this is high on my list - if not the highest. I ate here 3/5 mornings I was in SF, the eggs Benedict were some of the best I've ever had, and the Nutella crepes may have changed my life. I love pat's cafe

    Excellent! Great place off the tourist path a little but really close to the bottom of Lombard St where you'll take photos of the crooked street. Loved the food, super great service, and kick ass Brazilian dude playing music out front. Had a margarita which was great. Coffees were excellent. Pats hash was amazing. Avocado toast excellent. Also had a dish with eggs, peppers etc that was amazing. Highly recommend!

    Delicious Breakfast at Pat's Café I had a chance to stop by Pat's Cafe for breakfast during the work week. Even though I wasn't very hungry, the Polk Street Omelet caught my eye, so I ordered it along with a cup of regular coffee. The omelet is made with bacon, ham, bell peppers, onions, and cheddar cheese, and it comes with home fries and your choice of toast. The coffee was still great! I loved its flavor, just as I did on my last visit a few years back. The omelet was as good as I hoped it would be. While sitting and sipping my coffee, I noticed how the staff interacted with other customers. I was so impressed with their attention to every table that I had to compliment Ricardo, who served my table, and the young lady who seemed to be the manager. They were both so attentive that it made me wish I could hire them if I were a restaurant owner! The place is cozy and well-maintained. The service is excellent, the coffee is awesome, and the food is delicious.

    Biscuits and gravy breakfast

    Great breakfast spot! Menu isn't too big, but the items are tasty! The service is so attentive and nice! Food came out fast and hot! This Cafe has art from local artists all over their walls that you can purchase! I love that they showcase artists! We even left with a little one of a kind treasure!

    The food here was such a huge highlight of our San Francisco trip !! After a long day exploring the…read morecity we overestimated the amount of time we had to go grab clam chowder at boudins. What originally started as a disappointment became a huge blessing once we found the board room. Feet aching, sweaty, and tired we made our way to this bar. Immediately you could tell it's a local favorite, the ambiance was nice and a great spot to people-watch. There was a cup flipping event which was super fun to spectate, along side the rotating pictures of the bar's beloved pooches . We ordered 2 western burgers, 12 count bone-in wings (half bbq, half Hawaiian), and an appetizer of corn dogs, tater tots, bacon Mac & cheese bites, and mozzarella sticks. Later we also added boneless buffalo wings which were so tangy, well-seasoned, and HOT. The western bacon burgers were so delicious, crispy bacon, crispy onion rings, and some bomb.com bbq sauce. The wings were drowned in sauce (just how we like them) , the bbq was to die for and the Hawaiian had the perfect little kick of spice for our picky eaters. The appetizer platter was also fried to perfection, with the perfect crunch on the tater tots & corn dogs. The Mac & cheese bites & mozzarella sticks were perfectly cheesed, with an amazing cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. Along with the food, my boyfriend and I ordered some drinks. I got a margarita and he got a Guinness. Both drinks were good, very standard and well served. The couple behind the bar were very funny and super kind to us being dazed after all the walking. On our way back down to SoCal my brother is still raving about the burgers, this is a MUST-STOP the next time we come up to San Francisco!!

    Elevated Vibes & Exceptional Hospitality…read more The Boardroom is one of those rare spots that manages to feel both upscale and completely unpretentious. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the sleek, moody ambiance dim lighting, plush seating, and a vibe that says "stay awhile." It's the kind of place where every detail feels intentional, from the curated cocktail list to the smooth jazz humming in the background. But what truly made the night stand out was Adam. He was an absolutely attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether it was recommending the perfect bourbon or just checking in with genuine care, Adam made us feel like VIPs without ever being over the top. You can tell he takes pride in creating a memorable experience. The drinks were expertly crafted (the smoked old fashioned was a standout and don't forget the espresso martini), and the small plates were just as impressive elevated comfort food with a creative twist. If you're looking for a place to unwind, a date, or just treat yourself to a night of great service and even better cocktails, The Boardroom delivers. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Adam, you're in for a five-star experience.

    This is definitely one of those hidden gem in SF when you're craving Italian. Located in North…read moreBeach area with the entrance hiding in a small alley, the restaurant is bigger than we thought with both indoors & outdoors seating. The outdoor patio is definitely a blast for a summer day in SF, also converting to a free Tango class at 6:30 on Wednesday evening. We started with some special drinks as recommended by Ali, the most generous guy you've ever met. We got Japanese Artisan Gin Pomegranate Mint Martini and AB's Espresso Martini. They were so refreshing after we had to walk on some hills in 80degree weather in SF. After that, the appetizers we ordered came out with Caprese Salad & Mahmoud's Delicious Pork Ribs. The portion was huge for just appetizer. It's been a while for me to have that crispy baguette toasted with olive oil & vinegar, nothing could be better than that. The ribs were tender, the bonus point was definitely the sauce as it wasn't too sweet like the other places. You can't miss pizza in an Italian restaurant, so we ordered my favorite Crispy Prosciutto De Parma, Poached Pear. Prosciutto is my love so I'll just order it wherever I go if they have it on the menu. Super crispy, even though it's not as thin as I expected, I'd still order it again when we come back. It's served with a bowl of cheese powder and chili flakes so you can customize your pizza. The main entrees were definitely pasta and we just had our eyes bigger than our stomach. If you don't know what to order, ask Ali and he'll be more than happy to help you with all the recommendations, and even offer some alternatives for your pasta when the restaurant is not too crowded. My favorite was Pasta Dellacasa with Prawns added, mixing of all the sauces they have. It was so rich and I felt like no other pasta we had can be compared. They serve it hot and you can ask for as much cheese as you want for your pasta because they make it at the table for you. The place was really cool since the building was built over 100 years ago. Even the trees we were sitting next to are over 100 years old, which is pretty cool. You can even find the menu when the original place just opened, with pasta price ranged from $2-3.

I would have never known it was there. We are greater instantly and told to choose any seat. They have indoor and outdoor dining. We chose indoor. Looked over the menu and order a Tequila Sunrise with Don Julio Anejo. Quite tasty Went for the clam chowder appetizer... definitely 5 stars. Flavorful and creamy. I would come back just for that. Daughter ordered the Seafood Linguini with a cream sauce. The waiter kinda questioned it but made it anyway.. They added Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper at the table. Everything came with a nice crusty bread I order the Ciopinno!! It was one of the best I ever had.. Added Parmesan and cracked pepper of course. Everything was 5star including the service we received. Left there and recommended the place to several friends.. I'll be back soon.

Awesome sounds on the trombone, keyboard, bass, guitar, and vocals, courtesy of Daryl Savage Music. The restaurant offers a nice variety of delicious tapas on their menu. We got the arugula salad, crispy paella balls, risotto funghi porchini, albondigas (beef & pork meatballs) which came with toasted baguette slices, and two glasses of sangria (red and white). The beverages were delightful and topped off with plenty of fresh fruit. Each of the dishes were amazing and made with quality ingredients we could really taste. I especially enjoyed the paella balls and risotto. Wow, such distinct flavors that had me addicted. Plating was lovely as well.
