I was over in SF a couple of months ago and went here for dinner, 3 courses with drinks, £60 each. Michelin star quality service and food, bet steaks ive ever had!

Also went to 'Slanted Door, which was good, a little pricey, lovely restaurant and a great selection of entrees.

Samovar Tea Lounge
It's in the Yerba Buena Gardens above Metreon. It's tucked away and very quiet and have a great view while downtown. Have great clean food. I always get their English Breakfast Service as their scone is incredible. Brunch here is great.Amber
25 Yerba Buena Lane @ Market
I've gotten all my NY friends that shoot in London all the time to have this as their favorite Indian restaurant. Butter chicken, lobster tail tandori, and the sea bass tandori are to die for. The
cauliflower dish with asparagus is great.Dottie’s True Blue
522 Jones
Breakfast is incredible. You have to be there by 8:45AM or you will be in line for at least 45 minutes, because it’s that good. See the special menu. Their baked goods are to die for. Be prepared for food coma.Plant Café
Pier 3 on Embarcadero
Go to this one as it's pretty and on the water. Great dinner place and have great drinks as well. Their plant burger is supposed to be AMAZING. Their juices are great as well. I always get the ginger miso quinoa.Zazie

They have a great outside seating if the weather permits. I would recommend getting there before 10:30. It gets packed. Their sweet breakfast items are amazing.And of course, you will need to get proper Mexican food in the Mission.
Poncho Villa
3071 16th St @ Valencia
I always get their Garlic Shrimp plate, as it's to die for.Then you can walk over to Bi Rite for amazing ice cream
