Campton Place Restaurant
(Restaurants - Lunch)
340 Stockton St Campton Place Hotel, San Francisco  94108 • 415-955-5555
Distance: ~0.29 mi *
        Description: UNION SQUARE. Peaceful, romantic Campton Place sits within a European-style luxury hotel, a fact not unnoticed in the restaurant's Continental cuisine. Swiss-born chef Daniel Humm places a premium on simple, high-quality ingredients, and his affinity for Provençal dishes is evident in glazed Barberie duck with lavender honey and herb-roasted squab with spring onion tarte tatin. Seafood is also a treat in Humm's confident hands, whether it be butter-poached Maine lobster or salt-crusted Mediterannean branzino with Meyer lemon confit. Great service ramps up the desirability, and the experience is more than worth the expense.

Postrio

Distance: ~0.31 mi *
        Description: UNION SQUARE. This downtown restaurant, the brainchild of celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, specializes in wonderfully flavorful cuisine. The experienced kitchen dazzles with innovative Californian creations, and famous folks provide a bit of eye candy along the way. And if the food's not spectacular enough (and it is), a lovely stairway and an open kitchen provide additional focal points. The extended cafe-bar menu offers lunchtime diners an array of options. It's served upstairs in the bar until 11:30pm.

Cheesecake Factory
(Restaurants - Lunch)
251 Geary St Macy's Bldg, 8th fl, San Francisco  94102 • 415-391-4444
Distance: ~0.39 mi *
        Description: UNION SQUARE. Set high above Union Square, this location of the national chain pulls in lots of shoppers and sightseers who relish the idea of a sweet pick-me-up or a tasty meal. Although the large menu tempts diners with its incredible variety of foods, dessert fare really breaks down wills. The cheesecake menu alone offers three dozen options, and that doesn't even include such devilish delights as black-out cake, tiramisu and warm apple dumplings. If you're trying to be good, opt for a goblet of fresh strawberries, or convince yourself that carrot cake is a vegetable. Any way you spin it, don't leave without trying one of their specialties. Heated patio dining offers views of Union Square.
