Tomato Soup

“Overdue review - came here for a board dinner. Beautiful spacious comfortable space. The food was really good! Want to go back when they have the cauliflower main dish back - it was delicious! Didn't really have enough room to do the delicious desserts justice - another reason to go back. Unfortunately they close at 7pm due to being in a office building space. There's an underground path to the parking garage - it's a little tricky to figure out but it's there. It is a bit of a walk - might want to drop off the rest of your party at the restaurant first before parking.“

“Stopped by this morning for a breakfast burrito and this place did NOT disappoint! $15 for great size burrito and this included the added $1.50 charge to include chorizo. Seriously one of the more flavorful breakfast burritos I've had in awhile. The Orange hot sauce was not really spicy, but great flavor and paired perfectly with the burrito. My only complaint is it's a bit on pricier side. I wished having meat option was not an additional charge but overall great burrito and I'd return!“

“My gf and I just got back from our trip to Argentina and we were craving a good asado. I didn't expect to find anything so close to us but this restaurant was a pleasant surprise! We ordered the parrilla for two and everything was great! The parrilla comes with chicken, beef, sausage, and morcilla (+salad). You can't have an Argentinian experience and not order flan with dulce de leche so we went all out and ordered one (even though we were already in a food coma). Service was great too! Vamos Boca!!!“

“We found this Mexican restaurant while we visited Golden Gate Park and walked to there following google map. Their complimentary chips are freshly cooked, we especially liked the pairing red sauce salsa. It's delicious. I liked the carne asada taco and al pastor taco. The carne asada is seasoned well and grilled tender. The al pastor taco is paired with mango and has a little bit of sweet taste. The portion is generous and the price is affordable. The owner is warm and friendly. It's a great restaurant worth trying.“

“Their food is incredible and staff are generally nice, but I forgot about their “no laptop policy” and was stopping by for breakfast thinking I could finish a little work there using my hot spot. What an idiotic policy in a city of remote workers, on a main commuting road. Food is always 10/10, but more than half of the time I’m out, I have work since in order to afford SF I have multiple jobs. It’s very strange to sell a commuter friendly food, yet host such an inhospitable cafe. It explains why it’s empty most of the time.“

“What a fantastic experience! The lady who served us was incredibly kind and friendly, and the atmosphere of the place felt so welcoming, just like their menu. While we only sampled the empanadas, they had an enticing variety of other dishes. We're definitely planning to return to savor the Chimichurri sandwich and indulge in the beef, spinach & mushroom empanadas again - these were our absolute favorites today. We highly recommend this spot; plus, there's plenty of parking, and the outdoor view is simply breathtaking.“

“Came here before a concert, it was a great snacks that turned into dinner :)Ordered the arepa and cachapa- loooove them! I personally like cachapa better because of thinner crust and that allows me to balance the corn and meat flavor. But the arepa still tastes amazing!Too bad there was no interesting drinks available, though. The restaurant was small and quiet, it's pretty tidy with small water dispenser available. The service is pretty decent, you'll need to come to the register and pay.“

Super-fresh tasting fish freshly fried and totally non-greasy. And loaded with veggies on top, much too much to pick up and eat. I eat some of the toppings until it's a manageable amount to pick up. And that's a good thing!They have a wide array of bottled hot sauces on the tables to choose from, many that I've never seen before.“

“La Fusión was an amazing find by one of colleagues. This was suggested as a team outing since we finally have a full team now! They opened around 11:30, but to our surprise there was no line and no one at the restaurant at all. We were seated and greeted immediately by the manager and staff there.This is close by to Sajj Mediterranean! This is a smaller restaurant, but there are plenty of tables and chairs at the bar to enjoy everything. Everyone was super nice and friendly, and they made sure to go over the menu with us, as well as any specials they had.Water was being brought to our table before we ordered anything. I ended up getting the como saltado and that was $34. My team also ended up getting one of each empanada to share among us. Everyone else got the same item, or the rotisserie chicken. The como saltado was delicious! It was made fresh to order and I absolutely loved the flavors of this dish. You got chunks of tender, juicy beef with refreshing chunks of tomato and French fries! I typically have a love hate relationship with tomato's, but I ate everything UP. This does come with a bed of rice which was cooked perfectly.The only empanada I got to try was the seafood one. That one as delicious and I loved the outer shell, which was super crispy. Definitely a great starter to our meal. I'm not too sure how much we paid since our supervisor paid for our meal, but this is definitely on the list to come back again! Very pleased with our experience, the service, and how warm + inviting everyone is.“

“Chain steak restaurant in the heart of SF downtown. The food is good with lots of meat options. If want to get the attention of the servers, make sure to sit down with the large crowds. You don't be left out at a corner somewhere on your own. Drinks are more expensive than average and not as good so I suggest libations at any of the bars around downtown. The salad bar is good with lots of cold appetizer choices. If go around 1-2p, you can get the dinner meat selection with lunch prices.“
