I think this is spot on. Their famous chicken is indeed delicious and moist. Excellent french fries. But not somewhere I’d seek out but would be happy if we ended up eating there.
We really like Delfina. They have a Sunday supper so you cannot get the regular menu. We’ve had only excellent meals at Delfina. Bonus for being on the same block as Tartine and Bi-Rite (I don’t like the texture at Bi-Rite) but an easy way to bang bang.
I went to Seven Hills once and unfortunately it was just ok to me that one dinner visit. Not bad, but not spectacular for me.
The Progress is open on Sunday, as are Mourad as others have already suggested, Sons & Daughters, Campton Place, Keiko a Nob Hill (nice place but my last visit wasn’t as spot on, hopefully it was a one time thing), Spruce, A16 SF (and SPQR), Chapeau to name a few.
What I heard about Angler is that the vegetable dishes are the star. Still haven’t been.
Zuni’s great in the old-school Chez Panisse way, sort of like Osteria Mozza or the late Campanile in LA. It’s one of my favorite places for birthday / anniversary celebrations.
Thanks Robert. Yah, if I was going to Cotogna I wouldn’t want to do a limited Sunday supper (rather try their full menu), so maybe we’ll just do a lunch there or alternate day. Cockscomb wouldn’t work as our visit won’t be the last Sunday of the month. Thanks.
Thanks @beefnoguy! We’ve been to Progress before, but good to know. Mourad unfortunately we don’t have a large group (been wanting to try that large format dinner one of these days). I’ll look at the menu of those other places. Thanks.
Looking at Nopa’s current dessert menu, they have a Barhi date cake which sounds amazing. I love Barhi dates. Someone go try it so I can live vicariously through you.
Thanks @ipsedixit. Looking over the menu, is it like eclectic Asian meets European? Or just a mishmash of cuisines? Tom Yum Nam Khon Sauce and Galangal, etc.
For Sunday it’d just be 2. You’d recommend Al’s over Uma Casa? Thanks.
Both are good. Al’s is a bit more adventurous (food forward?); where’s Uma Casa is more focused on one type of cuisine (Portuguese). Al’s is louder, and more frenetic; Uma Casa by comparison is a bit more homey (not that it is homey, just by comparison)
