coi, fleur de lys, ame etc for fancy food. cyrus i also hear good things about. if you've been to french laundry i would also check out bouchon and ad hoc, his other restaurants. auberge de soleil, etoile, mustard grill etc in napa in sf, there's a place called yoshi's jazz club on filmore street that i enjoyed. the beignets were mind bogglingly good. really good food. reasonably priced poc chuc, la taqueria, etc for mexican food there's a place close to union square called larkin express burmese kitchen. get a tea salad i've had a lot of macarons in sfs and paulette's were i think the best. i liked the cassis flavored one and the ubiquitous pistachio acme baguettes in the ferry building are a definite. they're the first bread mentioned in maggie glazer's artisanal baking. quite quite delicious when baked fresh and still very delicious later in the day. some prosciutto maybe tapenade or olive oil from that olive oil place in the ferry building would be a nice meal. the bar at 15 romolo in the red light district was pretty good. the sliders were kinda meh, but the martini was quite quite nice. danta (egg pastry thingies) at the golden gate bakery are honestly a must. you can skip everything else, but danta at golden gate bakery, acme baguettes, and la taqueria tacos i wouldn't. koi palace or yank sing for dimsum. salt and pepper crabs at R&G lounge that was kinda long, i'm sure there are more places i'm missing. hopefully others will chime in if you run across any pizza my hearts, i think they're a pretty top notch chain restaurant. NY style thin pizza. quite good
