Since 1993, this classic-looking restaurant has been one of San Francisco's most consistently reliable: from the service to the cooking, there's seldom a misstep. Always busy, it attracts locals and visitors with waterfront views and hearty food. Self-taught chef Nancy Oakes specialises in elaborate New American dishes - pork chops, steaks and risottos - although wood-roasted dishes are another strength.
