    One of my fav restaurants in SF. They get all their produce from the farmers market so the menu is always changing. Service is super warm and friendly. Great cocktails, great food, not pretentious!

    Well, great that Che Fico lowered their "SF Business Mandate" dining penalty to 5% of the bill rather than 10% prior, but they made up for it by hiking their prices. Apparently the high priced entrees can be shared (including the $128 Lamb Loin entree) but if that is the case, then perhaps the menu should detail that that they are suitable for sharing. The pizza's are pretty special, but not $32 special for flour, water, cheese, tomato paste, etc. The real zinger is the drinks which at $20 each is a stretch (especially given there is another 5% on top, plus tax, then gratuity so figure ~ $26 for a drink). The bar staff are very impressive as are the rest of the team who I had any contact with. Overall, its a great spot, just be prepared to spend ~ $170+ each for a meal and a few drinks.
