	Restaurants Zaré at Fly Trap Good Food that Sticks By Amy Sherman (Feb 27, 2009) Long a San Francisco landmark, Fly Trap restaurant in SOMA was bought and reconcepted in 2008 by local restaurateur Hoss Zaré, a chef better known for his Cal-Med cuisine than for any particular penchant toward "Celery Victor" or "Oysters Rockefeller" (both mainstays of the former establishment). Still a reasonable spot for a three-martini lunch, the restaurant is now worthy of foodie attention beyond the nostalgic. Zare's Persian roots shine bright, nudging this restaurant beyond the ho-hum and into the SF fine dining pantheon. More
	Restaurants Tropisueno Tacos and Tequila without the Trends By Allecia Vermillion (Feb 20, 2009) The stream of shoppers and commuters who traverse Yerba Buena Lane’s pedestrian walkway could easily pass right by Tropisueno’s unassuming facade. The signage is subtle, but people who live and work in the area know there is some quality Mexican food on offer here, with unexpectedly low prices. More
	Restaurants Specchio North Beach Italian meets Mission Hip By Tracie Broom (Feb 13, 2009) While Specchio isn't going to make the cover of Food & Wine, the food is very good, the staff is friendly, wines are inexpensive, the atmosphere is hip enough to feel like you're really "going out". More
	Restaurants The Moss Room Restaurant Under the Rainforest By Daniel Goldstein (Feb 6, 2009) Loretta Keller of SoMa's Coco500 is the guiding force behind The Moss Room, the restaurant in the new California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. Her brightly flavorful California-Mediterranean food is, of course, local, organic, and sustainable, which resonates in this museum dedicated to understanding and preserving the world's ecosystems.

	Restaurants S&T Hong Kong Seafood Gimme Sum By Daniel Goldstein (Jan 30, 2009) As you make your way toward the outer avenues of the Sunset, trees become scarce and houses become squat and drab, as if pushed down by the low grey sky. But there are bright spots: the beach, Fort Funston, and S&T Hong Kong Seafood’s dim sum. More
	Restaurants Gitane From Gypsy to Grand-mere By Dan Strachota (Jan 23, 2009) Some restaurants you want to love, right away. Like the new Gitane, which just opened downtown, across from Café Claude. Why so much love? First, the Basque-styled bistro has alley seating, which we desperately need more of in San Francisco. More cobblestone streets, more heat lamps, more dinners under the stars. Great. More
	Restaurants Nettie’s Crab Shack Seafood Shake-up in Cow Hollow By Chrissy Loader (Jan 16, 2009) 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 are 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
	Restaurants La Mar Cebicheria Peruana Hot Newcomer Gets Poor Marks By Gloria Tai (Jan 9, 2009) Combine excellent waterfront views, a stunning space, an international celebrity chef and a mouthful of a restaurant name, and the result is a set of very high dining expectations. While the views, cebiches and cocktails are fabulous at La Mar Cebicheria Peruana, this high-buzz hotspot continues to miss the mark on much of its menu as well as on service. More
	Restaurants Opaque - Dining in the Dark Seeing is Believing By Nirmala Nataraj (Dec 27, 2008) I’m not sure if it was my mild claustrophobia or the prospect of soiling the sequined evening gown I foolishly chose to don that evening, but I was feeling more than a little apprehensive as I walked down the narrow staircase into the Crimson Lounge, which doffs its red cape every Thursday through Saturday night and becomes Opaque “Dining in the Dark". It’s a dining experience like no other that may indicate a sea change in the epicurean raison d’etre -- it also requires a dollop of courage and maybe a few extra napkins. More
	Restaurants Serpentine A Hearty Dining Foothold in Dogpatch By Chrissy Loader (Dec 5, 2008) 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
