The Best Meatloaf Ever!

by nadaprettygurl at Citysearch

I really like this place ... the location (Geary near Union Square), the ambience, the service and the food! I have come and gone to this place over the last 4 yrs. ... it being recommended by a friend who passed on ... for the meatloaf dish! I was amazed at how much I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service! So I came back ... just to make sure i really did like it... i found the prices to be extremely reasonable and the portions outrageous! ... meaning ... WOW ... Im gonna have to ask them to pack half of this dish! I usually order either the meatloaf or the brandy porkchops with garlic mash and broccoli and the pear gorganzola salad ... mmm...mmm...mmm... very nice. Their Lobster Bisque was also very nice. My 3 children love to eat there also... only time I have ever seen them eat all their meatloaf! Ive never had to wait more than 20 min even on a busy night (Fri and Sat) but I usually make reservations a few hours ahead. the only downfall is the parking. I cannot recall the street name but I park in the lot around the corner for $12. Ive gone there with a large party of 10 ... and they do charge an automatic 18% as most rest. do!

• Pros: Prices and Quality Food
• Cons: Parking

Great food

by Jim7 at Citysearch

Had the meat loaf; it was served hot, gravy was excellent AND the a burger which was gigantic, cooked to perfection, with excellent fries. We ate on a Monday at 7PM and it was crowded but after a ten minute wait, we were seated and the service was prompt and efficient. We've eaten at this restaurant in Rancho Mirage and it is an excellent chain.

• Pros: good food and service
• Cons: no parking but near BART Powell St. station

Theater treat

by frantanji at Citysearch

This is a good choice if you're going to the theaters, just a block down Geary. After a matinee at the Curran, we showed up 15 min early for our reservation, no problem. Lovely pomegranate martinis, the pita with the hummus appetizer was warm and chewy, really good. The lamb shank looked like it was on steroids, but very tender. I had the trout stuffed with crab which was great, but the sides were only ok. The berry cobbler and fudge brownie pie were easily enough for two. May not be the most innovative cuisine, but we were very satisfied. Clientele was a little older, dare I say middle aged? Their retro feel clicked with my group of baby boomers. It was full at 7pm mid-week, so make reservations.
