Stay away from Tiramisu!!!!

Actually, the most recent dinner I had at Tiramisu was really good (last October). And yes, the tiramisu was good that night at Tiramisu - it just must have been an "on" evening for them. The Belden restaurant that I can't really recommend is Cafe 52. I work at a firm which frequently orders catered meals from Cafe 52, and I've always thought the food ranged from so-so to downright tired. I've also had dinner and lunch there as an individual, with the same opinion. Well, to each their own!

anything is cheaper than Aqua or Masa... if you want neighborhood cuisine that is the real SF check out:

Neecha Thai
Pan e Vino
Jackson Filmore
Blowfish sushi
US restaurant

Thank you for your advice-it really helped. Plouf was great, Dottie's may be one of the highlights of our San Francisco experience, and was able to get a private tour of Newton from the information gained here. Your good advice certainly made our trip much more memorable!

Last month, dinner for 2 off the fixed price menu with a carafe of house wine at The Stinking Rose in North Beach $65.

Dinner for two at Cafe Bastille, Belden Place with a bottle of wine, shared appetizer and entrees $95.

The Stinking Rose was wonderful!!! Make a reservation. ((b))
