 | Meals on Wheels San Franciscans love inventive quirk with their slice of pie, so it’s no surprise to find Chef Laurent Katgely’s Spencer on the Go such a popular and talked about venture.More |  | Steampunked Italian Flour + Water = pasta and pizza. Yes, the name for this place is fitting enough; all that’s needed for an excellent meal is this simple combination…with a touch of sauce and garlic. The concept itself is simple: A neighborhood space that provides diners with tasty Italian bites: crisp Neapolitan pizzas made in an authentic Italian oven, fresh hand-rolled pastas, and house-cured salumi.More |  | Fantasy-worthy Seafood Treasures If you used to be a fan of the old Bar Crudo, previously located above the Stockton Tunnel and within crawling distance of the Tunnel Top, and you’re already predisposed to become a fan of the new-and-improved Bar Crudo, you won’t be disappointed.More |  | Hit-and-Miss Global Small Plates in the Presidio [b]This restaurant is now CLOSED.[/b]
The Presidio, once a leafy bunker, appears to be morphing into San Francisco's new dining destination. Joining the nearby Presidio Social Club and La Terrasse, Walnut Creek's Va de Vi restaurant family opened Pres a Vi in December 2006 in Lucasfilm's Letterman Digital Arts complex, a former army hospital. Serving a hit-and-miss mix of Spanish, Filipino, French, Italian and Latin American small plates -- and a grand selection of wines -- Pres a Vi struggles to meet the high expectations inherent to its location.More |  | Double the Dosa There’s a hoppin’ new Dosa location recently opened on Fillmore in Japantown. And not only is the new location ideal for delicious pre-movie (or pre-Fillmore) eats, but the actual setting itself is large and lovely with high ceilings, a full bar with creative cocktails, and interior touches that meld Indian aesthetics with innovative urban design indicative of its Bay Area setting.More |  | Seafood Shake-up in Cow Hollow Not only is Nettie’s a non-shack-like joint, but Nettie’s is not shack-like cheap. It’s not necessarily expensive either, but it’s closer to upscale than casual (and given that you [i]are[/i] in the tonier of ‘hoods, you might trade in your hipster Mission Vans for a pair of deck shoes, or Topsiders). Both of these details might be seen as drawbacks, but we couldn’t find any drawbacks in the food.More |  | Let the Reign Begin! Coffee Bar is an establishment between Potrero Hill and the Mission where one might find better-than-average café fare, what’s being hailed as the best macchiato in town, free Wi-Fi and a sea of laptops. Oh, and for your typical café, the space is being used in atypical ways -- and to great success!More |  | A Hearty Dining Foothold in Dogpatch At first glance, Serpentine has everything going for it; it's set in an interesting, up-and-coming location in Dogpatch, it has trusty references (they’re owned by the folks who brought SF the Slow Club), and the setting is lovely, melding industrial-chic with warm, natural elements. Since its spring opening, Serpentine has also received a warm buzz, so we were more than prepared to be equally impressed by the food.More |  | Locally Sourced and Local-Loving Bites in the Tenderloin Tucked away in the Mark Twain Hotel near the theater district, and a block from Powell BART, the small but elegant, Fish and Farm Restaurant is easy to miss. Once we located this buzz restaurant, we found its cheeky nautical-themed wall hangings, coffee shop booths, tasteful light blue colors and candle-lit tables inviting. Its menu, laden with fresh local seafood and seasonal produce sourced from within one hundred miles of San Francisco, culls a number of Americana classics meant to whet a diner’s appetite.More |  | Phancy Pho in the Inner Richmond Borrowing its moniker from the French dish, [i]pot-au-feu[/i], Vietnamese restaurant, Pot de Pho takes over the former Spanish Fly on Geary Boulevard and provides a more upscale setting for Vietnam’s favorite street food, the brothy noodle soup [i]pho[/i] (pronounce “fuh”). This means that instead of the typical utilitarian Formica furnishings of your traditional pho joint, at Pot de Pho you’ll find a casual and tasteful setting with white napkins, dark teak, and rows of fresh orchids.More |
