Description:
UNION SQUARE. Arguably San Francisco's most expensive restaurant, Masa's is also one of its most celebrated. Its interior is a study of chocolate-brown and ivory, accented with red silk, toile and contemporary artwork. Tasting menus, for which the restaurant is known, display a similar eclecticism, featuring a warm beet salad alongside Key West hogfish or yellowfin sashimi with milkfed capon. You'll also find discreet professional service and plenty of options in the 4-, 6- and 9-course menus, which include dessert and allow for vegetarian preferences. |

Description:
UNION SQUARE. An undersea fantasy world reigns at Farallon, one of undulating curves, glimmering details, and sea-creature accents. It's home to perhaps San Francisco's most famous seafood restaurant, led by chef Mark Franz and specializing in "coastal cuisine." Fresh shellfish starts the meal, followed by grilled Pacific ono, sauteed skate wing, Maine lobster, and prosciutto-wrapped branzino. The popular "seafood pyramid" piles together shrimp, scallops, lobster, julienned leeks, and salmon caviar. Poultry, beef, and veal are also available, along with a decadent dessert list and artisanal cheeses. Menu changes daily. |

UNION SQUARE. Peaceful, romantic Campton Place sits within a European-style luxury hotel, a fact not unnoticed in the restaurant's Continental cuisine. The chef places a premium on simple, high-quality ingredients. Seafood is also a treat, 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. |

 |

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. |

NORTH BEACH. Greco's European sensibility makes it a classic with city residents and travelers, who come to indulge in perfectly crafted cappuccinos, scrumptious pastries, and a casual but lively vibe. Score an outside table for the best people-watching, or pick an inside perch for quieter purposes. Bagels and focaccia sandwiches provide savory, substantial alternatives, and tiramisu is a fresh, delicious treat any time of day. Attentive, conscientious service makes the place even more appealing. |

Description:
NORTH BEACH. In the 1950s, this original North Beach location was the first on the West Coast to offer espresso, fast becoming a "beatnik" hot spot. The beans were roasted and prepared by Italian immigrant Giovanni Giotta, who's still at the helm, along with his wife and kids. Coffee lovers find great cappuccino, along with muffins, sandwiches, salads, and pizzas. In keeping with tradition, there's live music every Saturday. A classy, relaxed café equally suited for idle afternoons. |

Description:
NOB HILL. For generations, this small eatery has been delighting seafood lovers from all over the city. Distinguished by a marble counter and pull-up stools, the place puts all its attention on fresh shellfish, especially just-shucked oysters. You can also try clams on the half-shell, cracked crab, lobster, and shrimp, along with a few soups and salads. The place doesn't stand out from the street, so keep your eyes peeled. And if you're around during the lunchtime rush, you'll most likely have to wait. Since 1912. |
