The food is nothing to write home about, but Olive is still worth the visit to the Tenderloin ... really great drinks. Be sure and order the martinis for four. They pour them at your table - so much fun. I especially recommend the original martini with goat cheese stuffed olives.

Yum - I really loved this place. It has a fun, laid back ambience (e.g. not stuffy and you can carry on a conversation without feeling like everyone is listening to you) and great food and drinks. I really enjoyed the martini made with apricot-infused vodka and the roast chicken, which was very tender and moist. I highly recommend this place, whether with a group of friends or on a date.

I just went here for lunch and loved it. Great steak tartare. Also, for lunch they have a 3 course prix fixe for $19.95, which was delicious.

Very good fun and wine. I would describe it as innovative comfort food. This would be a great place to go on a date because the atmosphere is good, but not roudy.

This is my #1 sushi place - I love the atmosphere and the sushi is tops. The Russian Hill one is more my scene (laid back and elegant) - the SOMA Sushi Groove is good for all you hipsters out there.

Yummy Korean BBQ. My only complaint is that they won't let you cook at the table if you only order 1 meat dish, so I suggest going with a group.
