San Francisco on Repeat 🔁

"Above all else, this spot is FUN. Famous for their dim sum style of service. Best experience is with two people at the chef’s counter. You should both be willing to grab whatever looks good from the trays and carts as they come around. And order a lot of dishes! They’re small! Reservations are challenging but with a little patience they’ll find a seat for you. Patty, the maître d’ is awesome! Recently re-visited and it is, without a doubt, still one of the best meals I’ve had and pricing is incredibly fair for the quality and creativity. They have a Michelin Star that they don’t tout because they want to keep a fun atmosphere. Every dish is special, but I always get chips & dip and if they have pork belly, you MUST order it. "

"This is a true locals hangout. Plenty of regulars create a vibe that captures the neighborhood it’s named after. The burger and fried chicken are go-to dishes that never miss. Solid cocktails, solid brunch too. This is a great spot to eat at the bar if you’re solo or with a plus one and without a reservation. "

"My favorite Italian restaurant in SF. Never disappoints. This place can be hard to get into, especially as a walk-in, so plan ahead. Located a block or two off Broadway on the edge of north beach in a quiet and bougie area known as Jackson Square. Great for a special occasion or a date. Outdoor seating is to notch. "

"Mezze 🫓 plate, chicken skewer, but the POTATOES are the real standout. "

"Super creative dishes in a fun atmosphere. The noodles are amazing! "
