San Francisco Restaurant Tips by alenkap

Restaurant Name: The Rainforest Cafe

True, this restaurant is not San Francisco - specific, but nevertheless, if you are coming from Europe, like me, and theme restaurants are something unfamiliar to you, Rainforest Cafe is a great place for you. The restaurant is huge, it can seat 500 people, yet it doesn't feel as nearly big once you're inside. The seats near the waterfalls can be very noisy, but I guess that's the price you pay for having an amazing view. There's a lot of fish tanks everywhere which I love. Don't forget to look up, there's a sky full of stars! Congrats to the interior designers of these restaurants, they thought of everything - the tables, chairs and all the decor is very fun to see, especially for the kids... well... and us, kids by heart :)

The service was fast and friendly, the food yummy. You will definetely pay more for a burger here than in some other less-touristy restaurant, nevertheless, I think it's worth it to have one meal there during your visit. I call it a part of "American experience".

San Francisco is a gurman's heaven. It has hundreds and hundreds of good restaurants with every type of food you can imagine. My best advice is to explore and try as many as you can.

The best tip I can give is to just notice the people in the restaurants. Avoid the ones full of tourists, as they tend to be of lower quality.
One thing I must warn you about is Chinatown. That place is packed with cheap little Chinese restaurants, but nearly all of them look rather "hygenically challenged" if you know what I mean. I love Chinese food, but that was too much. Supposedly, there are a few exceptions, but I don't know any.
