RISTORANTE MILANO - SAN FRANCISCO, CA

RISTORANTE MILANO
1448 PACIFIC STREET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA 
415-673-2961

Whenever we visit San Francisco my Wife and Daughters first choice for Italian food is always Ristorante Milano.  I love this place too, and was the one that discovered it many years ago.  While I like to try new Italian restaurants in San Francisco, we have not found one that we love more than Ristorante Milano.  Food here is fresh, top quality, simply prepared and delicious.  Throw in Aldo the charming owner and incredible staff and you have one of our favorite restaurants in the World.

THE BUENA VISTA - SAN FRANCISCO, CA

THE BUENA VISTA

Growing up going to The Buena Vista was a tradition every time I visited the City.  Now with my Daughter living there, we can visit often as a family.  The food is really good here so book lunch or dinner and you will not be disappointed.  The Irish Coffee is the BEST and not to be missed on a cool San Francisco day or night.

SAM'S GRILL & SEAFOOD - SAN FRANCISCO

SAM'S GRILL & SEAFOOD
374 BUSH STREET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA
415-421-0594

Don't know why but I just love Sam's Grill & Seafood in San Francisco.  I just feel comfortable here and love the history of the place.  Food and service always good so you know I will be back again.  On this visit the Fresh Oysters and Clams shined.  Octopus was solid and the Clam Chowder hit home.  Not too many potatoes which I like.  The Petrale Sole was a disappointment as you could not taste any of the Crab or Shrimp.  Flavor of the fish was good and I ate everything.  Not impressed with the Apple Pie.

RITZ CARLTON SAN FRANCISCO

RITZ CARLTON SAN FRANCISCO
600 STOCKTON STREET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA
415-296-7465

My Wife prefers the Ritz Carlton San Francisco over the other 5 Star Hotels in the city.  I think it is the smell that attracts her.  Service is always good so I don't complain.  Rooms are ok but I really don't like the shower curtains in the bathroom.
