I celebrated my milestone birthday here and booked two VIP tables ($700), which resulted in a disappointing experience for me and my friends. The pretentious staff - especially the doorman and the person in charge of the "list" - were rude, apathetic and negligent. I wouldn't recommend celebrating a special occasion here, but I do know some promoters host events here, which can be fun and worthwhile.
Great staff, good food, timely service, and convenient location (for me at least).

I love this spot! I stumbled upon it right before attending Cobb's Comedy. We were looking for a new restaurant to try out and just happened to be in the mood for Belgian.
Although I'm not much of a beer drinker, the Timmermans Framboise Lambic was stellar! In fact, I also tried the cherry lambic blend, which was my favorite by far. We ordered a bunch of small plates, e.g. sliders, mussels in a dark beer sauce, Portobello mushrooms, ratatouille, mac n' cheese, and of course a side of Belgian fries!
I highly recommend it as the perfect date spot! The atmosphere is cool and mellow, not at all pretentious. It's underground too, so feels like a hidden gem.
Lastly, the service is fantastic! The staff is accommodating and very helpful!

Great location and excellent customer service, complete with state-of-the-art technology! Dr. Kikunaga offers great care and expertise. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy eye doctor for the entire family.
I definitely recommend coming here for special occasions! The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a romantic date or anniversary. I particularly enjoyed the Dynamite dish (it's presented in flames) and the tofu appetizer. The platter with fatty tuna, avocado, beets, and shrimp chips is exceptional - I can't remember the name of it, but I highly recommend it.
We ordered several (6-7) dishes and shared between three people, which is probably the right amount if you want to leave feeling satisfied, and not completely stuffed.
I would avoid ordering sushi here. It was aiite, nothing special really.

Yabbies Coastal Kitchen - CLOSED
Category:
Seafood
Areas: Nob Hill, Russian Hill
My buddy and I came across Yabbies during our Sunday stroll and decided to check out their brunch menu. We walked in and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow and we had to hunt down the servers for water, seasonings, to let them know we were ready to order, and to request for the bill. They never checked up on us once - very disappointing, especially since there were only seven other parties in the restaurant and three waiters!
I had the Crab Cake Benedict - sounds yummy right? English Muffin, sauteed Chard, Poached Eggs, Hollandaise Sauce, and Home Fries. It was mediocore and left me feeling unsatisfied. fyi - the mimosa is made with orange juice and sparkling wine.
I don't think we will be going back to Yabbies...

The Punchline
Categories:

Comedy Clubs
Area: Financial District
I recently visited Punch Line to watch Bobby Lee and Nick Youssef's comedic performances, which was awesome by the way (except for the fact that Bobby Lee kept looking at his watch throughout his routine).
From outside, the venue doesn't look too impressive - (look for the green awning). And from the inside, not that much better I'm afraid.
The cocktail waitress was swift AFTER the first round, which is understandable since everyone is seated at the same time. We arrived early (front of the line) in order to 'secure' seats, but were led to the far dark corner of the room because we were a party of 7! Not cool at all, why come early if they can't seat us in decent seats?
Of course I'd go back if one of my favorite comedians were performing because I'm not there for the venue, but rather the entertainment.

I went to the Fox Theater for the very first time to see Julieta Venegas perform on Cinco de Mayo and it was an amazing experience.
Apparently, the venue was recently revamped and I think the owners did a fabulous job - great space and design. Even more impressive were the prices for the drinks, very affordable!

Philz Coffee
Category:

Area: Civic Center/Tenderloin
Philz is definitely my favorite spot to get coffee! They always get it just the way I like it. . The people who work at Philz also go above and beyond to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your coffee.
The only downfall is the wait, but that's just the nature of the beast. If you want fresh, customized coffee that has its own unique distinct flavor, it takes time...but it's well worth it.

If you like themed-bars, this is one to check out! I highly recommend getting there early to secure a spot in one of the cozy vans, if not the water bed located at the front of the bar. You won't have to wait long to be served because they've got plenty of staff behind the bar, which is always a plus. The only annoying thing about the bar were the stools! They are in the shape of car seats, which make it a bit difficult to squeeze through to place your order at the bar - not the most efficient or practical use of space.
BTW - if you are not comfortable with nudity, you may want to avoid the centerfolds plastered on the floors and counter :)
No wonder there was a whole lot of sexual tension around the bar...not sure I'd use the toilet in this bar.
All-in-all, fun place to experience, but nothing special about their cocktails - just a place to grab a couple of beers or a vodka tonic.
