    Always so happy whenever my mom and I go here, the food is always so delicious…read more My favorite appetizer is the cesar salad, it's so delicious, refreshing and the crunch of the lettuce is perfect. I'm not the biggest calamari fan, but it comes with a lot of calamari and it's pretty good as well. Onto the pasta, my favorite used to be the Spicy Rigatoni but the Shrimp Scampi is just perfect! It's so heart warming and heavy, it's such an interesting pasta. The shrimp is also very good and they provide a few pieces and it's not too much, or too little. The service is also great, they consistently check in to make sure you're helped and have everything you need. The environment is also very nice, the seating ranges from outside with or without heaters, inside at either tables or booths and also a bar. My personal favorites are either the booth, indoor table or outdoor seating on a sunny day. This place is will forever be an SF staple and I can't wait to celebrate more birthdays here.

We also shared a bottle of Acqua Panna, always a favorite. We split the Caesar salad and the chicken parm, and everything was absolutely delicious. The food, drinks, and service are consistently amazing every time we visit San Francisco. This has become one of our must-stop restaurants whenever we're in town. Highly recommend if you want a classic San Francisco dining experience! It is busy so best to make a reservation. Buon Appetite!

So we zoomed off and came back around for the parking space. All clear. We parked and cautiously walked to the restaurant. We walked in, oh, its a hofbrau! Never knew that. Every protein was stacked up with so many options. The staff was friendly and took our orders. :) BBQ brisket plate with mash potatoes and coleslaw - mash was wonderful, the brisket was tender but the slaw could had used more sweetness and tang. 4 Stars :) Cornbread plate with mash and slaw. The cornbread was very good. 4 Stars The decor was flea market whacky. Definitely had its own personality in a cool way. Glad I was finally able to try this institution of San Francisco. Just be careful of the craizies outside.

I had a delicious hot roast beef sandwich covered in gravy. It was one of the most comforting dishes I have ever had. I remember coming to Tommy's many times over the last two decades and trying everything from their oxtail stew to their meatloaf to their lasagna. Everything here is good! On my most recent visit I got to try their lamb shank with boiled potatoes and carrots. The lamb shank perfectly fell off the bone and the fat melted in your mouth. The gravy was very flavorful. The only thing I found underwhelming were the potatoes as they could've cooked a little longer. The service at the counter is always very good and quick! These guys have been working this counter for a long time. The place still feels a little like a dive bar, but that's all part of the charm of this historical eatery.

    I love Hillstone, and have been a fan for many years. Even many years ago, before I worked in SF,…read moresometimes I would cross the bridge from the East Bay after work just to treat myself to dinner here. Hillstone is a nice, intimate, relaxing spot on the Embarcadero. A little further on down the road from the main hustle and bustle where the big artery streets and Embarcadero meet, so a bit calmer and a bit easier to find parking around here. In many years of patronizing this spot, I've only had good experiences. Great atmosphere, service, and food. Classic yet modern. Lovely bar area and beautiful booths. Just the right degree of dim, romantic lighting. Always an interesting mix of locals, tourists, and corporate meetings for people-watching. The drinks and food are always excellent. Full bar and a very respectable wine list. Food-wise, we've tried all kinds of things, and everything's been great, but definitely start with the artichokes. For dessert, the chocolate pot de crème is a must. Get two or three of these, don't be shy, and you can thank me later. I don't believe I've been to other Hillstone locations, but you can't go wrong with this one. Before or after, you can take a walk along the beautiful SF waterfront. Enjoy!

We decided to go to lunch at Gott's Roadside. It is my "go-to" spot when I am near the Chase Center! I love their big menus, the "big wordings", colorful deco, and there are lots of seatings in the inside/outside. I always order my usual, the Cali chicken without red onions and Jack cheese. I find it more healthier than the gourmet burgers that they have on the menu. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. They take their time to explain their menu and special. Their all gender bathrooms are always clean and the communal handwashing station are outside of the bathrooms. If you're ever in the Mission Bay Area and thinking of a gourmet burgers and fries or want a quick bite before going to a Warriors game/concert at the Chase Center, don't forget to stop by Gott's Roadside! Pro tip: Order online on their website or on major those food delivery apps for pick up to skip the crazy long lines during game days.
