Great service ramps up the desirability, and the experience is more than worth the expense. |

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. |

UNION SQUARE. Sleek and gleaming with polished woods, stainless steel, a sprinkling of Asian accents, and an open kitchen, Straits fills a welcome niche with its Singaporean cuisine, an amalgam of Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, and Indonesian fare. Chef Chris Yeo prizes authenticity and fresh ingredients, uniting them in dishes like tamarind beef, lamb shank korma, chicken breast with spicy lemongrass-coconut sauce, seafood green curry, and black pepper lobster. A wealth of rice and noodle dishes also keeps flavor at the forefront. For a subdued foil, try Straits' outstanding sago tapioca pudding. |

Description:
NORTH BEACH. Act fast and early if you're thinking about Mama's – after lunch you're out of luck. And you certainly don't want to miss the array of perfectly prepared breakfast foods. Generous portions are standard, whether you order a fluffy omelet, a stack of hotcakes or light, fragrant French toast. If you need them, Mama's also offers healthy egg white creations. Quick service is a staple, but even so, weekend brunch has been known to generate waits thanks to the cafe's popularity. |

Yabbies Coastal Kitchen |
|
(Restaurants - Brunch) |
|
2237 Polk St, San Francisco 94109 • 415-474-4088
|
|
Distance:
~0.74 mi * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
RUSSIAN HILL. "Yabbies," in Australian slang, are crayfish, and although you'll find them on the menu, the casual, provincial name belies the modern-spirit of the restaurant and its broad, globally-inspired menu. A raw bar and wine bar provide both focus and great selections, including clams, six kinds of oysters, and peel-and-eat shrimp. However, main dishes often steal their luster, given such innovative creations as rock shrimp ceviche, grilled ahi, Maine scallops, crab with mango, and cioppino. Chicken and beef also make appearances, and desserts include creme brulee and chocolate terrine. |

Description:
COW HOLLOW. Playfully bestowed with the Italian word for "optimist" – that is, one who always believes that the glass is half full – this wine bar also has a way with Italian-inspired tapas. Offering more than 200 by-the-bottle options, Ottimista showcases a changing 25 by-the-glass selections, concentrating on northern Italian vintages. Choose your favorite, and couple it with items like truffled mushroom risotto, a hand-crafted salumi plate, artisanal cheeses, pumpkin ravioli, or a roasted half-chicken. A great date-worthy place. |
