Salut/Hi TB,

One last suggestion... if you like Dim Sum, as Joe suggested, we had a splendid meal twice, at very reasonable prices, on the south side of Folsom Street, between second and third street, (we think). We also ate pretty well at Hunan Harry's (I think it was called) in a side street not far from there. This was all last November.
TB, We want a full report on the wine and food from your trip to SF when you get back.... Have a great time ..SF is my favorite city for food and wine in California. Cheers, Rick
TB,
Seems to me you want to get the flavor of the city, and one of the best ways is to go to the Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street, check out the nice wine store there, and then eat at the Slanted Door, upscale Vietnamese with a really adventurous wine list. You're right on the Bay, with a great view. Also, a really fine farmer's market at this location on Saturday 8 a.m. till 2 p.m.
Also, Frascati restaurant on Russian Hill, right on the Hyde Street cable car line, a really nice intimate place with fine food in the Cal-Italian style and tons of atmosphere.
PlumpJack wine store on Fillmore Street a block or two off Lombard has a nice selection of wines, including a lot of Kermit Lynch's.
Have a great trip.

Just back, and since no one else has mentioned it, Hayes St Grill is reasonable SF dining, very good and reliable. There's a place in Noe Valley we used to go a lot, Firefly? Can't remember the name exactly.
Since it was mentioned above, I think Plumpjack the restaurant is pretty good (or used to be). Jardiniere is nice, Mark L. just ate there, too. We used to go after concerts sometimes.
It's worth a trip to Berkeley to Kermit Lynch, there are some nice and reasonable bottles that you won't find elsewhere.
Best crab is in Emeryville (naturally) right on the Bay, but I can't remember the name of the place, sorry.
