I’m not really into Asian Fusion food, but I have to say, lunch here may’ve made me change my mind. I’ve eaten here for breakfast/brunch, but today, I had a late lunch and realized it’s Thai Fusion. Wasn’t jazzed but at the same time, whatever...the table next to me had, I was like WHOA. I ended up pointing to the table across from me and ordering ‘whatever that table is having’. Turns out it was the Hot Stonepot and the Pimped Up Ramyun. FYI, I am not sure if the entrees are made for a single portion, but we ordered two entrees for four. There is just no one a super hungry person can finish one plate. I would order less and add on if necessary. The waitress and staff are very friendly and as speedy as the food came out after ordering, I opted to wait a little to order bc my group was late. Overall, great tasting food, good service, good quality for the money. I would def go back. Oh, I didn’t take advantage of this, but they have bottomless mimosas for $26. It’s limited to one hour but if you can get three glasses in (big pours and not over juiced), it’s worth it. Parking can be challenging but I know the area, so I parked at 1598 Bay Street around the condos (no parking meters) and just walked over (10 min).More

This Thai fusion restaurant puts out beautifully presented dishes. However the SPRING ROLLS are pretty but taste like PAPER so don’t bother with this appetizer especially considering the price.They are doing the best they can with covid I guess… there is no one on the...host desk so it took a long time to be acknowledged… we were desperate because we had time limitations. So bottom line…. Pretty good food . Large portions. I recommend getting two dishes for 4 people. We were four people. 4 beer that were the restaurant pic.. and the spring roll appetizer …250 dollars with tip!!! WHAT?????? ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUs pricing for Thai food. If you go… just be aware . If you are ok with outrageously priced food… then go for it.More

Maybe they are a new restaurant. Maybe they are just opening up after a long break due to COVID. Maybe they have enough business that they don't need to care what customers think. We walked past the mostly-empty restaurant and decided to stop in. Immediately...accosted by a server to ask if we had a reservation, which we didn't, we were led to a small 2-top and then essentially ignored for 10 minutes, despite there being few other guests in the restaurant. Obnoxious high-decibel 6-some across the aisle put on quite a show, laughing and dropping utensils, generally making a racket, without intervention by restaurant staff. Eventually placed our order, and my Pad Thai ($17.50!) arrived within 5 minutes and my wife's 2 fried eggs and fried potatoes ($15.50!) arrived about 15 minutes later. Not sure why it would take an empty restaurant 15 minutes to fry 2 eggs, or why they couldn't serve 2 mains at the same time -- there were no excuses because there were few other guests. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. Not recommended.More

No reservations in advance for brunch, there is an online wait list that you sign up for when you arrive at the door and they call when your table is ready. Very busy place, even when dining it seems like a very fast paced environment....The food was great - definitely have the millionaires bacon - I had it in the Blackstone Benny, delicious.More

Had dinner for the first time at Blackwood on Chestnut St in the Marina District. This has long been a favorite breakfast stop when we visit SF, but was equally delighted with their dinner menu. As always service was good, and wine selection went well...with meals on the menu. My shrimp on fried rice was jumbo shrimp - similar to lobster tails in size - served in shells on a bed of flavorful and moist fried rice that was captured under a net of egg that was thin and looked to be done on a waffle iron. I am not a big egg person, but this was great, and did not taste like a traditional egg. Dessert was a good way to top off the meal and to share. Will definitely add this to our dinner rotation the next time we stay in the Cow Hollow neighborhood - which is our favorite place to stay in SF. The name Cow Hollow is derived from the fact that when SF was a young city this area was a dairy. No sign of cows remain, but this neighborhood has great restaurants, shops, and several nice smaller hotels that offer free parking on site.More

We were a group of five old friends gathering for a holiday dinner. The pan-Asian menu includes a variety of Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese options. All were delightful. Our waitress was helpful in avoiding dishes with ingredients some of us were allergic to. The drinks...were strong and tasty. The vibe was young and friendly, and the noise level was JUST on the bearable side. They have the largest indoor video screen I've ever seen, bit with no audio.More

I’ve tried to have friends here three times, But the lines were too busy. Went on the Yelp app and got myself in line and still waited 40 minutes after I arrived with a total wait of over an hour. My husband ordered a crab...omelette - not the greatest and I order the basic eggs and potatoes, We had a side consisting of two pieces of millionaires bacon and two regular coffees. Bill came up to $80 for breakfast and nothing about the visit was that special. Probably should’ve tried to order something more exotic, but we really were looking for breakfast and most people were eating similar dishes. The service was fine the plates were beautiful but not worth the time and money.More

Beautiful homes, beautiful people, and a beautiful

the Marina. Originally the location for the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 (whose
remnants can be seen at the Palace of Fine Arts), much
of the land was filled and flattened to accommodate a
world’s fair. That ample space has given way to a
jogger’s paradise at the northern edge of the city.
