- JJessieSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOne 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!More infoNopa - San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Californian• North Panhandle / USF•4.6
- MMarkvipSan Francisco Bay Area •46 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWell, 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.More infoChe Fico San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Italian• North Panhandle / USF•4.7

Discover Cole Valley
While it may be close to the iconic Haight Ashbury, this tiny neighborhood nestled beneath Sutro Forest has its own dining vibe going on. Tucked slightly away from the tourist foot traffic of the Lower Haight is a unique area that has a community-driven feel, and enough hikes to work off any gluttonous meals. There are eggs Benedict brunch shrines, often with the accompanying long lines that cements a restaurant as a weekend institution. On the fancier side, new wine bars have popped up to elevate afterwork drinks, while upscale Mexican upstarts offer energetic meetup spots for a group of friends. Whatever the place, Cole Valley brings an eclectic coziness to the table.
