Here's a list of great places to eat:-<a href="http://www.stvincentsf.com" target="_blank">St. Vincent</a>: where I currently work. And the chef is a player in my 4e group... Incredible wine list with good values--we'll open any bottle under $100 and pour you half of it for half the price. Great local beer selection as well, our beer director is one of the top beer guys in the US. He also runs a list of great bottled beers, all meant to be bottle-conditioned, from all over the world. And the food is delicious--bone marrow with chile relish and house-baked bread, fried chicken with paprika and biscuit, best pretzel ever, pickled eggs.-<a href="http://statebirdsf.com" target="_blank">State Bird Provisions</a>: make your reservation now... Western-style dim sum, insanely good food. Won best new restaurant (of the whole US) from James Beard Foundation (the culinary equivalent to the Oscars) this year.-<a href="http://nopasf.com" target="_blank">Nopa</a>: great cocktails, really good food and open late.-The Palace: former Quince (one of SF's and the country's top fine dining restaurants, I used to be one of the sommeliers there) line cook does "fine dining for hard working people". At 3047 Mission St. BYOB and the place needs a renovation, but really great food for the money. $50/person tasting menu. Lobster, wagyu beef available. Service is run by the chef's wife, and you need to approach this place with an understanding that it's a bare-bones operation (i.e. slower pace, they don't replace utensils after every course, etc.). Let me know if you want to check this one out and I'll forward you the chef's number (reservations are by text message).-<a href="http://sushiran.com" target="_blank">Sushi Ran</a> If you get across the Golden Gate bridge to Sausalito. Best sushi in the bay area in my opinion. They have a really great cooked food menu as well.I can provide more options if you let me know specifics of what you're looking for.</blockquote>
