Food Glorious Food

IMG_3497Had dinner at the new Lafitte restaurant at Pier 5 on the Embarcadero last night.  I know it was only their second day open, but the experience was so horrible, I trashed them on Yelp.

Michael Bauer, the San Francisco Chronicle food critic, came out with his top 100 restaurants yesterday.  I don’t agree with him because they’re all high-priced and not necessarily worth it for the money.

As a Bay Area native who feels like she’s tried almost every restaurant in the city, here’s my top list.  This accounts for the food, ambiance, service, wait time, everything.  So if I think the food is spectacular and the setting not so much, I’ll include it because the food is amazing.  These are restaurants that are consistently good and which I favor over all others.
