    We were only in SF for two nights, and had made no plans. A friends said we should try to go to Nopa, and I am so glad we were able to grab a 9pm reservation for the next night! The drinks were creative, wine nice, and the food was honestly perfect. We were in town during Stone Fruit season, and all of the dishes highlighted the seasonal produce beautifully. Would return any time I am in town, and I will certainly recommend it to others.

    We’ve loved France’s for years, and as it was open on July 4th, a return visit didn’t disappoint. Excellent food and a welcoming serving environment. Wonderful way to escape both the fireworks frenzy and the depressing state of our country on its birthday.

    I would cross a bridge or take a bus to have dinner at Aziza because it is a wonderful restaurant with warm staff and delicious food. But, lucky for me, I live a 6 minute walk from the restaurant making it a true neighborhood gem. Colby, the new manager, is so warm and welcoming. My friend and I were given the perfect quiet table. We shared the spreads, the salad, and the branzino, all flavorful and filling. We were too full for dessert but we lingered each of us over our own pot of tea. We left feeling satisfied, warm, and cared for. Highly recommend.
