I have found that the American sense of urgency does not translate so much over in Europe. Likely you'll find out when you absolutely need to, not a moment before, and possibly several moments after.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Nora's right. You're the special guest star, they'll work around you.

They'll have to, because I'm all they've got. I wish my DH could have spent the whole time with me there, but he arrives next weekend.

I'm bored and I wanna play Fantasy Trip to San Francisco. Money is no object. Where should we eat? Where should we drink? My list so far (started from Hec mentioning The Painted Door)
Fleur de Lys
The Painted Door
Rosamund/Toronado (I know, not fancy but I LOVE IT
Gary Danko
ETA: ooh, where is the best sushi?

Slanted Door! I'm sure they paint it though.
Fleur de Lys
Still the premier French restaurant in the city but it has slipped a bit. Very romantic though, but not a consensus top five pick anymore, I don't think.
Rosamund/Toronado (I know, not fancy but I LOVE IT
Oktoberfest, baby!
Gary Danko
Now there you've got a consensus top five pick. In the latest guides it's the highest rated in SF. French Laundry is still the best in the area, though it's not in San Francisco.
ETA: ooh, where is the best sushi?
Like "wheres is the best burrito?" this is a topic of unceasing debate in SF. I like Hamano, though.
There's a fantastic, super delicious German restaurant you'd like, Nora. It's called Suppenkuchen.
There's a Malaysian restaurant I'd take you too, also, called Borobodur (or something like that). Patricia Unterman has a review of it. Very addictive.
Oh hey! It's lunchtime. Now I have to go to the Ferry Building and eat something good.

Oof, Slanted Door, sorry, my brain!
Where IS the best burrito???
I am marking your post for when we (hopefully, if we don't use the money we've saved for it up while Tom is unemployed) go to SF/NoCA next year for a swanky 5th anniversary trip.

At the SF2F, I had sushi twice (both times with Jilli and Pete): once at a place called Godzilla (excellent sushi, including a roll called the Tinky Winky roll, which was quite good), and once at a place on Valencia called We Be Sushi, which was WAY better than the name might make you think.
Mmmm. Sushi.

ETA: ooh, where is the best sushi?
Okay, I'm sure it's not the best, but I have a special fondness for the place at the corner of 16th and Valencia, where I used to go and lesson plan over California rolls and chardonnay. Ummm... Sushi Yamamoto, maybe? I think it started with a Y, anyway.
Oh! And make sure you go to the Indian ice cream place on Valencia for rosewater or cardamom ice cream. Which reminds me, I need to go home and eat my ginger ice cream. Off I go!

“Not dead yet!”
One of the best meals I've ever had, granted it was probably twelve or thirteen years ago, was at One Market.
NOM.
I want Pacific salmon.
