Rita Hills, California\u003c/a> ($52) — Magic happens when opposites attract. That’s the result when erudite ex-professor of French, Greg Brewer, collaborated with ex-surfer dude Steve Clifton to create wines in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation of Santa Barbara county under the Brewer-Clifton label. Though recognized for their Pinot Noir, what first attracted me to their wines was Chardonnay. In my opinion, the duo rank among the world’s best for this variety. Closing my eyes, the minerality and elegance stands out and I feel I could be sipping Grand Cru Burgundy from France. But, the succulent fruit gives it away as hailing from somewhere else. That somewhere is the wind swept vineyard of Mount Carmel perched on a steep slope deep in the cool-climate Sta. Rita Hills. Richly textured — like expensive raw silk in a glass — the wine seamlessly marries caramelized pear aromas with nutty flavors in a jaw-dropping Chardonnay that’s simply magical. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/brewer-clifton600.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1059\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/brewer-clifton600.jpg\" alt=\"Brewer-Clifton Wines\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9076\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/brewer-clifton600.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/brewer-clifton600-400x706.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.brewercliftonstore.com/store/2010-Mt-Carmel-pinot-noir-P24.aspx\">2010 Brewer-Clifton “Mount Carmel” Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, California\u003c/a> ($56) — Like the Chardonnay from this vineyard, there is an earthy streak that runs through the wines of Mount Carmel. Peeking through as tea leaf on the nose and brown spice on the palate, it’s accented by red berry freshness in a complex, alluring Pinot. The primary goal of both Greg and Steve is to “deliver the essence of the vineyard as clearly and honestly as possible.” Goal accomplished. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.stfranciswinery.com\">2009 St. Francis Malbec, Sonoma Valley, California\u003c/a> ($35) — When it comes to power reds, Malbec ranks among the top contenders. Most recognized versions come from Argentina, but this is a California gem. The muscular, inky-hued version sports a dash of Petit Verdot and Merlot, giving layers of flavor to a wine that makes an ideal partner for grilled porterhouse steak.

It opened in 2009, replacing the Old Spaghetti Factory. It’s an architectural delight with reclaimed wood, decoratively painted accent walls, a few pieces of artwork or photography, wood tables, concrete pillars and glass pendant lighting. The ambiance is fun, energetic, lively yet great for small or big groups and also ideal just for two. The seating options include a spacious outdoor area on the patio with a scenic view of the Jack London Square Waterfront; the inside has an open, contemporary and cozy loft style dining room, combining old and new. There are great seats at the stained glass panel bar as well, with some of the most comfortable blue leather square stools where you can sit and enjoy a drink and/or food for hours with friendly and entertaining bartenders mixing unique cocktails and more! From my experience, the service has always been stellar with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food at Bocanova is consistently outstanding. The restaurant calls it Pan-American Grill where they have a wide range of cuisines from North, Central and South America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The menu has a fabulous blend of Latin American ingredients and many items are not ones you would find elsewhere. What I like a lot about the food here is that you can order just a few dishes or order a dish or two from each of the different categories such as the oven, stove, grill, rotisserie, la plancha, etc. and they will all complement one another. The flavors blend really well together and there is a good variety of dishes to choose from. We started with the Dungeness crab deviled eggs with chipotle aioli; probably some of the best deviled eggs around. From the garden section of the menu, we enjoyed the quinoa salad with grapes, pomegranate, persimmon (so delicious) and duck confit; a good portion to share with others at the table. Other favorite dishes include the cauliflower: deep fried with piquillo pepper and toasted garlic romesco sauce. The “Huarache” is served sizzling hot and is so flavorful with pancetta, Fuji apples, caramelized shallots, rosemary oil and Oaxaca cheese. The sweet potato and chipotle gratin is one not to miss, and goes great with any of the other dishes. The sea scallops with a Brazilian curry sauce and a few veggies, served julienne style on top, are delicious — worth every single bite. The crispy lamb shoulder with cannellini beans has just the right seasonings and served tender. The grilled octopus has a nice blend of chili flakes, lemon and cherry tomatoes. The wine list pairs nicely with all the dishes and there’s a great selection to choose from. For dessert, the one that stands out by far is the warm chocolate croissant bread pudding with Mexican chocolate ice cream!\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/eric-markson125x125a.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Markson\" title=\"Eric Markson\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Eric\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Hotel Sales Manager\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Santa Rosa\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Willi’s Wine Bar\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Bocanova:\u003c/strong> Sunday, February 10, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bocanova is a large space that’s warm and inviting: open kitchen, cool bar, high ceilings and big windows, nice energy, lots of locals not too touristy. There is a wide mix of customers from families to seniors. A great outdoor patio with water views for watching sailboats sailing by or sunsets and great people-watching. We went for Sunday brunch. The place was busy, but not packed — looked busier than the other restaurants in the area. There was a farmer’s market going on that Sundays at Jack London Square just steps from the restaurant. Parking was no problem: garage or meters (free on Sundays). We were greeted with a pleasant reception and the service was quick, but not hurried. Our server Laura was very good, lots of staff. The water carafe was brought right away and refills came quickly. It was a nice touch. The excellent Bloody Mary was not too fancy or over the top. The nice and spicy Dungeness Crab and Deviled Eggs were very tasty but they could use more crab. “Huarache:” Pancetta, Fuji Apples, Caramelized Shallots, Rosemary oil, Oaxaca Cheese is more of a breakfast pizza with a little Latin influence. Loaded with Pancetta, the caramelized shallots took the dish to the next level. Wow! I enjoyed the Cuban Pressed Sandwich with Black Forest ham, as well as the pork loin with homemade pickles. I’m very picky when it comes to a good Cuban sandwich; I’ve been to Miami. Perfectly toasted/grilled stuffed with high quality ham, roasted pork loin and homemade pickles. The chipotle aioli was a spicy surprise and I liked it. I like it a lot. Arugula, with a light lemon vinaigrette and more homemade pickles balance out the dish nicely. Beautiful Location, cool atmosphere with high quality ingredients served with imaginative Latin flair. Bocanova hit all the right notes!!!

It’s like you are having dinner in a massive loft: the tall windows, huge columns, high ceilings, facing the Estuary. My BFF and I called to say we were running a tad late, and they were super accommodating with us (we made reservations via opentable.com). From the moment we walked in, all staff members were friendly and eager to assist. We were tempted to dine outside on their massive lanai, but we opted to sit inside by a window, so we could get the best of both worlds. The waiter was knowledgeable, had a sense of humor and checked in on us periodically to make sure we were happy as clams. The food arrived promptly and evenly throughout the meal. When we arrived at 6:15pm, the noise level was just about right. We could converse easily. But by the end of the meal, the restaurant was in full swing so it got a bit louder, which is to be expected in such a lofty airy busy establishment. As for the food, it wasn’t bad. It was definitely enhanced by the fabulous ambiance and service. Don’t get me wrong — the food was delish but this is not the kind of place I would come out to eat by myself for the food. It is the kind of place I would go to in order to socialize/entertain. \u003c/p>\n\n",

The “Huarache” is served sizzling hot and is so flavorful with pancetta, Fuji apples, caramelized shallots, rosemary oil and Oaxaca cheese. The sweet potato and chipotle gratin is one not to miss, and goes great with any of the other dishes. The sea scallops with a Brazilian curry sauce and a few veggies, served julienne style on top, are delicious — worth every single bite. The crispy lamb shoulder with cannellini beans has just the right seasonings and served tender. The grilled octopus has a nice blend of chili flakes, lemon and cherry tomatoes. The wine list pairs nicely with all the dishes and there’s a great selection to choose from. For dessert, the one that stands out by far is the warm chocolate croissant bread pudding with Mexican chocolate ice cream!\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/eric-markson125x125a.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Markson\" title=\"Eric Markson\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Eric\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Hotel Sales Manager\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Santa Rosa\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Willi’s Wine Bar\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Bocanova:\u003c/strong> Sunday, February 10, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There is a wide mix of customers from families to seniors. A great outdoor patio with water views for watching sailboats sailing by or sunsets and great people-watching. We went for Sunday brunch. The place was busy, but not packed — looked busier than the other restaurants in the area. There was a farmer’s market going on that Sundays at Jack London Square just steps from the restaurant. Parking was no problem: garage or meters (free on Sundays). We were greeted with a pleasant reception and the service was quick, but not hurried. Our server Laura was very good, lots of staff. The water carafe was brought right away and refills came quickly. It was a nice touch. The excellent Bloody Mary was not too fancy or over the top. The nice and spicy Dungeness Crab and Deviled Eggs were very tasty but they could use more crab. “Huarache:” Pancetta, Fuji Apples, Caramelized Shallots, Rosemary oil, Oaxaca Cheese is more of a breakfast pizza with a little Latin influence. Loaded with Pancetta, the caramelized shallots took the dish to the next level. Wow! I enjoyed the Cuban Pressed Sandwich with Black Forest ham, as well as the pork loin with homemade pickles. I’m very picky when it comes to a good Cuban sandwich; I’ve been to Miami. Perfectly toasted/grilled stuffed with high quality ham, roasted pork loin and homemade pickles. The chipotle aioli was a spicy surprise and I liked it. I like it a lot. Arugula, with a light lemon vinaigrette and more homemade pickles balance out the dish nicely. Beautiful Location, cool atmosphere with high quality ingredients served with imaginative Latin flair. Bocanova hit all the right notes!!! Will return, will recommend!\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s like you are having dinner in a massive loft: the tall windows, huge columns, high ceilings, facing the Estuary. My BFF and I called to say we were running a tad late, and they were super accommodating with us (we made reservations via opentable.com). From the moment we walked in, all staff members were friendly and eager to assist. We were tempted to dine outside on their massive lanai, but we opted to sit inside by a window, so we could get the best of both worlds. The waiter was knowledgeable, had a sense of humor and checked in on us periodically to make sure we were happy as clams. The food arrived promptly and evenly throughout the meal. When we arrived at 6:15pm, the noise level was just about right. We could converse easily. But by the end of the meal, the restaurant was in full swing so it got a bit louder, which is to be expected in such a lofty airy busy establishment. As for the food, it wasn’t bad. It was definitely enhanced by the fabulous ambiance and service. Don’t get me wrong — the food was delish but this is not the kind of place I would come out to eat by myself for the food. It is the kind of place I would go to in order to socialize/entertain. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It’s comfort food gone cool with great ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere. It might be called “small plates,” but they put a lot of good on those small plates and you wind up sharing and getting bites of all sorts of goodness. I had ordered the Moroccan Style Lamb Chop, my friend the Filet Mignon Sliders. The plates arrived our eyes met and within seconds we had a made a trade: a chop for slider. It was a win-win and rest is history. When dining at Willi’s, your server will ask if you have ever eaten there before. This is important, for your life may change, and change for the better.

The menu had lots to choose from with a good variety of seafood, meat and veggies.

My favorite dishes by far were the Mu Shu Bacon crepes with Hoisin BBQ sauce and the Moroccan style lamb chops with couscous! Both were delicious, well prepared and worth every single bite. The desserts were also quite enjoyable. For dessert, we ordered the warm Scharffen Berger flourless chocolate cake with peanut butter caramel and delicious sea salt peanuts, the Meyer lemon pudding cake with huckleberries and the chocolate chunk and banana croissant bread pudding.

But this is definitely not the case at The Rotunda! You get a world class view of Union Square, under a sundrenched stain glass dome and impeccable service and wonderful food. As an added bonus, it is located in Neiman Marcus, so you’ll have an excuse to pick up some fabulous outfit after lunch! Who can complain!? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The setting is just glorious; the circular layout is such that almost every seat has some view. They also have private rooms and a bar too — perfect to bring clients, business associates or shopping break! Anyone you bring here will be impressed, not just from seeing all the couture wear on the way up to the restaurant, but the atmosphere is classic SF. It’s effortlessly elegant. The staffs from the front desk to the servers are all polite and well versed on the menu and the ingredients. The customer service is top notch (it’s Neiman’s, so I would expect nothing less!) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the food, there is great variety, so there is something for everyone! Whether you bring your cousin from the Midwest who only eats burgers or foreign clients who want food with international flair, you can’t go wrong. Not only do they serve lunch, but they also do tea time! The only drawback of this place is that I wish they served dinner too! \u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/allison-tom125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Allison Tom\" title=\"Allison Tom\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Allison\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Television Producer\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Emeryville\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Bocanova\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed The Rotunda of Neiman Marcus:\u003c/strong> Saturday, February 23, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nThe minute you step into the Rotunda, the experience feels special and truly unique. There are two entrances to the restaurant, either using the escalators through the main Neiman Marcus store, or directly from the street level using an elevator. Immediately, you notice the open, airy space with the most magnificent stained glass dome above. This architectural centerpiece (with more than 2000 pieces of stained glass) is stunning, once a part of the City of Paris department store. The dining room is elegant and comfortable, offering seating at a booth or at a table in front of large open windows overlooking Union Square. The service was outstanding! Our server was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about both the menu and the history of the restaurant/store, and really made our dining experience the best it could be and lots of fun. The noise level was ideal. We ordered a few salads, sandwiches, the afternoon tea and desserts. The presentation was nicely done, very well prepared. The crab and shrimp Louie salad was fresh, with a good serving of crab and shrimp, along with egg, avocado, tomato and cucumber. Tasty, but it was simple and slightly bland. The other salad we tried was the Asian All Natural Chicken. It had a Chinese mustard-soy vinaigrette, adding good flavor to this dish. The lobster club sandwich was good, but what you might expect with a club sandwich. It was served on a toasted brioche, but not quite as flavorful as I was expecting. The grilled barbeque Portobello sandwich had probably the most unique taste amongst the items we ordered with a barbeque sauce: slightly tangy and spicy with delicious horseradish pickles and crispy sweet potato fires. My favorites were the warm and freshly baked popovers (fantastic, served warm out of the oven and perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside) with strawberry butter (surprisingly good considering I only like a little bit of butter and I’m not typically a fan of fruit mixed in) and the desserts! The caramel butterscotch Budino (apparently the chef’s own original creation) was not too sweet, but just the perfect blend of ingredients with sea salt and crème fraiche whipped cream.\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/eric-markson125x125a.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Markson\" title=\"Eric Markson\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Eric\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Hotel Sales Manager\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Santa Rosa\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Willi’s Wine Bar\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed The Rotunda of Neiman Marcus:\u003c/strong> Sunday, February 24, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We lucked out with a great parking space on Geary right next to Rotunda side entrance with direct elevator and it was free parking on Sunday.

But this is definitely not the case at The Rotunda! You get a world class view of Union Square, under a sundrenched stain glass dome and impeccable service and wonderful food. As an added bonus, it is located in Neiman Marcus, so you’ll have an excuse to pick up some fabulous outfit after lunch! Who can complain!? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The setting is just glorious; the circular layout is such that almost every seat has some view. They also have private rooms and a bar too — perfect to bring clients, business associates or shopping break! Anyone you bring here will be impressed, not just from seeing all the couture wear on the way up to the restaurant, but the atmosphere is classic SF. It’s effortlessly elegant. The staffs from the front desk to the servers are all polite and well versed on the menu and the ingredients. The customer service is top notch (it’s Neiman’s, so I would expect nothing less!) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the food, there is great variety, so there is something for everyone! Whether you bring your cousin from the Midwest who only eats burgers or foreign clients who want food with international flair, you can’t go wrong. Not only do they serve lunch, but they also do tea time! The only drawback of this place is that I wish they served dinner too! \u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/05/allison-tom125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Allison Tom\" title=\"Allison Tom\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Allison\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Television Producer\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Emeryville\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Bocanova\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed The Rotunda of Neiman Marcus:\u003c/strong> Saturday, February 23, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nThe minute you step into the Rotunda, the experience feels special and truly unique. There are two entrances to the restaurant, either using the escalators through the main Neiman Marcus store, or directly from the street level using an elevator. Immediately, you notice the open, airy space with the most magnificent stained glass dome above. This architectural centerpiece (with more than 2000 pieces of stained glass) is stunning, once a part of the City of Paris department store. The dining room is elegant and comfortable, offering seating at a booth or at a table in front of large open windows overlooking Union Square. The service was outstanding! Our server was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about both the menu and the history of the restaurant/store, and really made our dining experience the best it could be and lots of fun. The noise level was ideal. We ordered a few salads, sandwiches, the afternoon tea and desserts. The presentation was nicely done, very well prepared. The crab and shrimp Louie salad was fresh, with a good serving of crab and shrimp, along with egg, avocado, tomato and cucumber. Tasty, but it was simple and slightly bland. The other salad we tried was the Asian All Natural Chicken. It had a Chinese mustard-soy vinaigrette, adding good flavor to this dish. The lobster club sandwich was good, but what you might expect with a club sandwich. It was served on a toasted brioche, but not quite as flavorful as I was expecting. The grilled barbeque Portobello sandwich had probably the most unique taste amongst the items we ordered with a barbeque sauce: slightly tangy and spicy with delicious horseradish pickles and crispy sweet potato fires. My favorites were the warm and freshly baked popovers (fantastic, served warm out of the oven and perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside) with strawberry butter (surprisingly good considering I only like a little bit of butter and I’m not typically a fan of fruit mixed in) and the desserts!

I would go as far as to say that this was my parents’ favorite restaurant in the city, next to House of Prime Rib. Parking in the neighborhood is readily available (depending on the time of year, of course). We showed up at about 7:00 with no reservations and were seated right away. It seemed like there were some locals hanging out at the bar, which isn’t usual in that neighborhood. I noticed they had a nice cocktail menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We waited for up to 10 minutes for our waitress, Dee to come over to the table. Once she got there she apologized and was very sweet. I really like the atmosphere; it is nostalgic in an old San Fran fisherman’s wharf way, casual, with red and white checker tablecloths with candles on the table, low lighting, and wood paneled walls. It is intimate with low music so you can have a quiet conversation. It is like stepping back in time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have to say the value used to be better. You still get a nice size portion. Not too big and not too small, but the prices used to be much better. Of course it didn’t help that we ordered the two most expensive things on the menu, but the fish prices range from $15-$22 and the fisherman’s stew and cioppino are both a nickel short of 30 bucks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clam chowder had a nice tasting broth but lacked a lot of clams — not one in every bite, but still it was quite a good soup. The salad came already tossed with the dressing, which isn’t usual for a lot of the casual San Fran old school restaurants. The sea bass was simply grilled because I asked for it that way with a side of perfectly done zucchini and some fingerling potatoes. The fish was done well bordering on overcooked. That’s unusual from past experiences. The fisherman’s stew was really nice. Served super hot and the garlicky tomato broth was really tasty with a ton of seafood in it, which included: jumbo shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels (although I had not a one), calamari and white fish. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All in all, I feel it’s not quite as good as it used to be but sometimes you are just looking for a clean, fresh meal that is good for you, well-prepared, and doesn’t break the calorie bubble for the day with hidden restaurant calories. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/04/nicole-quihuis125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Nicole Quihuis\" title=\"Nicole Quihuis\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Nicole\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Food Photographer\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> San Jose\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Lillie Mae’s House of Soul Food\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Pompei’s Grotto:\u003c/strong> Sunday, February 24, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wouldn’t ordinarily head towards Fisherman’s Wharf, the most touristy area in San Francisco, for anything… let alone a meal. My first impression of Pompei’s Grotto was that the decor was very “tchotchke” with the plastic flowers that adored the gingham table clothes and the Spanish music playing in the background. The menu was very typical this area; pasta, sandwiches, salads, seafood. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sole in the Sole Sandwich seemed fresh… thankfully the coating on the fish was minimal, however, very bland. The fries were not what I know to be ‘shoe string’ rather very typical of frozen french fries. The hot crab sandwich… thankfully the crab was fresh tasting but the ‘Mornay sauce’ which was a typical alfredo sauce, was a great disservice to the crab drowning out its fresh flavor. The Italian coleslaw was over dressed with a mayonnaise dressing that had hues of typical Italian seasoning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clam chowder was typical tasting for wharf chowder, I prefer my clam chowder more on the thick creamy side which could be easily accomplished by pureeing some of the potato within the chowder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can’t go wrong with Gelato, can you? The Gelato Truffles were fun, I liked the zabaglione the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Arnold Palmer, water logged and bland. It would have been nice to taste a fresh brewed tea and fresh lemonade. The fresh bread at the table, which was from the bakery down the street, was one of the best things I ate at Pompei’s Grotto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would never go back to Pompei’s Grotto or even suggest anyone eat there. You want fresh pasta? Head to Flower & Water in the Mission. There are WAY too many amazing restaurants in San Francisco to ever need to go near Fisherman’s Wharf. Fisherman’s Wharf restaurants are for people who don’t know the city and don’t care to get to know the city. Fisherman’s Wharf is for tourists. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/04/jennifer-leibick125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Jennifer Leibick\" title=\"Jennifer Leibick\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Jennifer\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Stay-at-home Mom\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> SPQR\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Pompei’s Grotto:\u003c/strong> Thursday, February 21, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really wanted to love this place because the family and staff were so warm and friendly and they seated us immediately. However, the food was underwhelming, and the total bill was a bit pricey for the quality. I started with crab cakes (and I love crab cakes) and was very disappointed in what was served. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the positive side, there was a lot of lump crab meat, but on the negative side the consistency was wet and mushy — sort of like there was melted mayonnaise inside; plus there was not much flavor. Next, I had the wedge salad and did enjoy it; it was very tasty with fresh tomatoes and crispy pieces of bacon. For my main entrée I had the Fisherman’s stew and was disappointed again. Some of the seafood was overcooked, some undercooked and the sauce had no flavor. I was waiting for a burst of fresh tomato and garlic and never got it. The Sauvignon Blanc we had was good, very crisp, refreshing and the best value for the price out of everything we ordered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The staff was very nice and checked on us a few times, but there were a few things that could have been improved. One item ordered seemed to have been forgotten and then, when they did finally bring it out, it was not how we ordered it. They did remedy the situation immediately though and were very apologetic. They only refilled our wine once, which seemed odd because it wasn’t busy in the restaurant. Lastly, for a family-friendly restaurant, I thought they would have paid better attention when putting food down on the table and taking it away so that they would steer clear of the infant at the table. The restaurant itself has a charming, family owned vibe with light music and views of the wharf area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, a very nice staff and a good location for tourists, but I didn’t love the food and will most likely not return. \u003c/p>\n\n",

I would go as far as to say that this was my parents’ favorite restaurant in the city, next to House of Prime Rib. Parking in the neighborhood is readily available (depending on the time of year, of course). We showed up at about 7:00 with no reservations and were seated right away. It seemed like there were some locals hanging out at the bar, which isn’t usual in that neighborhood. I noticed they had a nice cocktail menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We waited for up to 10 minutes for our waitress, Dee to come over to the table. Once she got there she apologized and was very sweet. I really like the atmosphere; it is nostalgic in an old San Fran fisherman’s wharf way, casual, with red and white checker tablecloths with candles on the table, low lighting, and wood paneled walls. It is intimate with low music so you can have a quiet conversation. It is like stepping back in time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have to say the value used to be better. You still get a nice size portion. Not too big and not too small, but the prices used to be much better. Of course it didn’t help that we ordered the two most expensive things on the menu, but the fish prices range from $15-$22 and the fisherman’s stew and cioppino are both a nickel short of 30 bucks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The salad came already tossed with the dressing, which isn’t usual for a lot of the casual San Fran old school restaurants. The sea bass was simply grilled because I asked for it that way with a side of perfectly done zucchini and some fingerling potatoes. The fish was done well bordering on overcooked. That’s unusual from past experiences. The fisherman’s stew was really nice. Served super hot and the garlicky tomato broth was really tasty with a ton of seafood in it, which included: jumbo shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels (although I had not a one), calamari and white fish. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All in all, I feel it’s not quite as good as it used to be but sometimes you are just looking for a clean, fresh meal that is good for you, well-prepared, and doesn’t break the calorie bubble for the day with hidden restaurant calories. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/04/nicole-quihuis125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Nicole Quihuis\" title=\"Nicole Quihuis\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Nicole\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Food Photographer\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> San Jose\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Lillie Mae’s House of Soul Food\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Pompei’s Grotto:\u003c/strong> Sunday, February 24, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wouldn’t ordinarily head towards Fisherman’s Wharf, the most touristy area in San Francisco, for anything… let alone a meal. My first impression of Pompei’s Grotto was that the decor was very “tchotchke” with the plastic flowers that adored the gingham table clothes and the Spanish music playing in the background. The menu was very typical this area; pasta, sandwiches, salads, seafood. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sole in the Sole Sandwich seemed fresh… thankfully the coating on the fish was minimal, however, very bland. The fries were not what I know to be ‘shoe string’ rather very typical of frozen french fries. The hot crab sandwich… thankfully the crab was fresh tasting but the ‘Mornay sauce’ which was a typical alfredo sauce, was a great disservice to the crab drowning out its fresh flavor. The Italian coleslaw was over dressed with a mayonnaise dressing that had hues of typical Italian seasoning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clam chowder was typical tasting for wharf chowder, I prefer my clam chowder more on the thick creamy side which could be easily accomplished by pureeing some of the potato within the chowder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can’t go wrong with Gelato, can you? The Gelato Truffles were fun, I liked the zabaglione the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Arnold Palmer, water logged and bland. It would have been nice to taste a fresh brewed tea and fresh lemonade. The fresh bread at the table, which was from the bakery down the street, was one of the best things I ate at Pompei’s Grotto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would never go back to Pompei’s Grotto or even suggest anyone eat there. You want fresh pasta? Head to Flower & Water in the Mission. There are WAY too many amazing restaurants in San Francisco to ever need to go near Fisherman’s Wharf. Fisherman’s Wharf restaurants are for people who don’t know the city and don’t care to get to know the city. Fisherman’s Wharf is for tourists. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2013/04/jennifer-leibick125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Jennifer Leibick\" title=\"Jennifer Leibick\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Jennifer\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Stay-at-home Mom\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> SPQR\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Pompei’s Grotto:\u003c/strong> Thursday, February 21, 2013\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really wanted to love this place because the family and staff were so warm and friendly and they seated us immediately. However, the food was underwhelming, and the total bill was a bit pricey for the quality. I started with crab cakes (and I love crab cakes) and was very disappointed in what was served. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the positive side, there was a lot of lump crab meat, but on the negative side the consistency was wet and mushy — sort of like there was melted mayonnaise inside; plus there was not much flavor. Next, I had the wedge salad and did enjoy it; it was very tasty with fresh tomatoes and crispy pieces of bacon. For my main entrée I had the Fisherman’s stew and was disappointed again. Some of the seafood was overcooked, some undercooked and the sauce had no flavor. I was waiting for a burst of fresh tomato and garlic and never got it. The Sauvignon Blanc we had was good, very crisp, refreshing and the best value for the price out of everything we ordered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The staff was very nice and checked on us a few times, but there were a few things that could have been improved. One item ordered seemed to have been forgotten and then, when they did finally bring it out, it was not how we ordered it. They did remedy the situation immediately though and were very apologetic. They only refilled our wine once, which seemed odd because it wasn’t busy in the restaurant. Lastly, for a family-friendly restaurant, I thought they would have paid better attention when putting food down on the table and taking it away so that they would steer clear of the infant at the table. The restaurant itself has a charming, family owned vibe with light music and views of the wharf area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
