Dining in San Francisco

My hubby and I visited our favorite city over the Labor Day weekend. Most of our favorite restaurants from years past are gone now (Gold Spike, Le Felce, Capp's Corner) since our honeymoon in 1982. We still had a wonderful time, which included dining at the following establishments:

Light breakfast at Garden Court Restaurant at The Palace Hotel, 2 New Montgomery. Phone: (415) 546-5089. http://www.sfpalace.com/garden-court/:

Smoked Salmon with Toasted Bagel and Egg Roulade (i.e. egg salad)

Breakfast at old-style David's Delicatessen, 474 Geary Street. Phone: (415) 276-5950:

Smoked Salmon Scramble, Hash Browns, Sesame Seed Bagel

The Italian Company - new location at 1919 Union Street. Phone: (415) 655-9325. https://www.facebook.com/theitalianhomemadecompany/. You select the pasta and sauce separately:

Bolognese on Pappardelle

In-N-Out Burger, Anchorage Shopping Center, 333 Jefferson Street. Phone: (800) 786-1000. http://locations.in-n-out.com/154?utm_source=google&utm_medium=local&utm_campaign=localmaps&utm_content=154. (We don't have this restaurant in Hawaii so it's a big deal for me!)

Good old Cheese Burgers and Fries

Saving the best for last:

Dinner at Sotto Mare Oysteria, 552 Green Street in North Beach (near Columbus). Phone: (415) 398-3181. www.sottomaresf.com/. Sit at the counter and watch the waitress place your order by pinning it to a clothesline and whizzing it into the kitchen:

The Wedge



Cioppino for Two
