We went here for my birthday, ordered lots of food, and had a nice evening. The food was very tasty and stuck hard to our ribs - just what we needed after a cool SF day. The ambiance is relaxing and quirky (see the photo of the homages to lost 'saints'), and the staff was friendly beyond compare. It wasn't... more

Not too far from the Union Square Hotels and close to downtown this Irish/Euro/California mix come together spectacularly at The Holy Grail. The stained glass windows, wood and antiques are great but the food is the real winner. Try the Pork Shank and the Oysters top of my list more
