Fragrant and flagrantly crowd-pleasing, this popular North Beach attraction is a temple to garlic. Named after a historical term for the pungent herb, The Stinking Rose offers sumptuous, contemporary California-Italian cuisine prepared and adorned with garlic. There is hearty fare for the truly adventurous, mild for the novice, and dishes without garlic for those finding the herb's folklore and aroma more appealing than its taste. The garlic-based menu includes dishes like 40-clove chicken, garlic-encrusted baby back ribs and Italian garlic meat loaf. Even dessert pays homage to the bulb with garlic ice cream.

With clear sound and an intimate setting, Biscuits and Blues is a great spot to see high-quality blues artists, both local and touring. The spotlights are focused on the stage in the cozy downstairs room, and the live band sparkles. Candlelit cocktail tables line the front; booths reside in raised areas along the walls. Servers wind their way through the tables during the show to deliver your drinks. The food is Southern comfort soothing and New Orleans naughty, including mac and cheese croquettes, spicy chicken jambalaya, fried pickles, yummy yam fries, fried chicken, and of course, biscuits.

The menu changes every day at Hayes Street Grill. That’s because the San Francisco mainstay’s selections are based on a phone call – made early each morning to the local fish markets. The Hayes Street chefs then collaborate on a line-up that makes the most of the freshest and best catches of the day - maybe a buttery swordfish, or a Pacific Bluenose Sea Bass fresh off the grill. You may not know exactly what you’re getting when hang your coat on bistro’s brass hooks – but you can certainly prepare to be pleasantly surprised.
