Where I Go Out
Heritage Hen
Reservations, Modern, Modern European, Polk Gulch
"Perfect crispy skin and a very deep flavorful sauce"
Pulled pork sandwich
$$, Outdoor Seating, Bbq,
"Buster's has great barbecue, my favorite being the barbecue pulled pork sandwich."
Tandoori shrimp
Modern, Hotel,
"The tandoori shrimp worked really well with the basil seeds and raw persimmons—and the spicy curry sauce brought it all together."
Margherita pizza
$$$, Full Bar, Italian,
"I like how crispy and thin the crust is, and the tomato sauce they use is good too. I love being able to get great food like this after work!"
At My Venues
French omelet
$$$, Modern, Full Bar, New American, Presidio Heights
"I love this omelet and brie dish on the brunch menu. It's sexy, custardy, rich, decadent, and silky but so simple and always perfectly executed. I drive across town just to sit at their bar and eat this."
Spruce burger
$$$, Modern, Full Bar, New American, Presidio Heights
"Call me partial, but I find this to be the perfect burger—housemade bun (it's not a bakery), pickled onions and zucchini, remoulade, and fries. Add house-cured pancetta and an egg, and you've neared nirvana."
barolo and madeira wines
$$$, Modern, Full Bar, New American, Presidio Heights
"I’m no good at this and tonight was too good not to share. @sprucerestaurantsf we drank and ate really really well. Thank you @jhpinedo... you made our night! #birthdaymonth okay! I’m OUT! ✌️"
