Linnea’s 4-star review: My first time coming here and I don't order pizza. I was more in the mood for spaghetti with meat balls. I am happy that I ordered that dish because it was scrumptious. The service was a little slow, but I know they were busy. -
Linnea’s 4-star review: I was unable to get inside 21st Amendment due to the huge crowd so my friend and I decided to sit outside where they have a separate bar and seating. Interesting and different alcoholic beverage choices. We didn't order food- stay tuned- that'll be my next review. Overall, pretty chill. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: This is the greatest baseball park in the world, I don't care what anyone else says. Just saying. Garlic fries are the bomb. The place is always kept clean and I always feel safe. You can sit anywhere in the park and still have a great view. My friends and I always find parking, or if you prefer public transportation, cal train is right there! The only people I can see posting 1 or 2 stars on here would be Dodger fans or fair weather fans who don't know what the hell they are talking about. I love my Giants!!!!!!! -
Linnea’s 5-star review: This is by far one of my favorite places to visit after the Giants game. They have great beer choices and I always enjoy the music (every time I go, there has been a ton of Irish tunes, which I dig). It can get a bit crowded and rather quickly, so I would advise leaving the game or wherever you are early to claim a seat at the bar. I love the feel of the bar and decor. Everyone is always friendly and ready to have a good time. I don't mind the prices either. The only thing I would suggest is for them to fix the bathroom door. The last few times I was there it didn't have a lock -_- -
Linnea’s 5-star review: I really like this parking garage. I come here a lot for my job, but I am only in the city for, maybe 3 hours. I don't mind the hourly price. They keep it clean, which is a big concern for me when I leave my truck places. The last thing I want is to drive into an eery, dirty parking garage. I feel safe leaving my truck here. -
Linnea’s 4-star review: - My friend and I found easy parking on a Friday night. - The outside of Fiddler's Green is fun and inviting. - They have two floors: 1st floor is filled with enjoyable Irish decor and live music, but is a tad small. The 2nd floor is much bigger and consists of more seating, a dance floor, and another bar. - They have a DJ on the second floor who played all the "IT" tunes. - Before the second floor opens up at, I believe 10, it can get pretty packed. So due to the size of the downstairs area, you can feel a bit cramped. - My only complaint: It was shoulder to shoulder at the bar upstairs. It was very hard for me to order a drink. Unlike other bars, I found it really difficult to get the bartenders attention. They seemed to stay and help people in one spot the whole time which was irritating. They have good beer, I just wish it was easier to get. -
Linnea’s 4-star review: If you try and drive through Chinatown and/or expect to find parking, you're insane. I've seen people many times try and drive through these streets while stopping here and there in frustration because tourists are crossing and parades are forming in the middle of the street, like they are surprised that this is happening. So I stand on the sidewalk and point while laughing. You will find metered parking along the cross streets, but you'll most likely be trekking uphill. If you are prone to having a loser moment like myself and happen to get lost most of the time, just listen for the sounds of illegal fireworks, music, and live chickens. Most of the stores are inexpensive. You will find an assortment of souvenirs, mostly, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. You will also find a lot of people walking around with their kids on leashes, ducks hanging in windows, tourists trying on different hats and clothes while taking pictures of themselves with their camera phone, one can only assume they are uploading to Facebook, and [love] lanterns/decorations hanging from building to building. The food here is scrumptious; so many places to choose from. *Note to self, bring cash* I have yet to try any of their bakeries, but from what I hear it's AMAZING. It's always a treat to come here. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: I overall love the impression and flavor of Cha Cha Cha. If you want the chief of all sangria I'd suggest coming here. It's delish. It gets packed on weekend nights, but who cares. The drinks make up for it. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: I've been coming here for ice cream since I was a kid. And if you were to ask me is there any other shop where they have better ice cream, I'd say the answer is no. Their ice cream sandwiches are the best thing ever. Sorry It's It's... This place is always packed for a reason. -
Linnea’s 4-star review: I came here after the Giants game to try something new with my friend. I was planning on just ordering a margarita, which was nice and strong, by the way. Any who, I ended up ordering the pork tacos dish- which was delish. My friend and I split it which is perfect for two people; flavorful and filling. The restaurant was a decent size. While it was pretty crowded, we were still able to find seats at the bar. If you are worried you won't be able to watch your sports game, worry no more. They have tvs playing football games, baseball games, etc. The bathroom was clean which is always nice. I'd like to come back here for another margi and to try a new dish. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: I highly recommend this shop! Unfortunately, being the forgetful person that I am, I cannot remember who did my tattoo. But whoever it was did a phenomenal job. I loved the shop, the prices were fine, and my cousin and I found immediate parking. The other tattoo artists that were in there at that instant were very talkative and humorous. It made for a good time; especially when you are doing a 2 hour sesh. So what can I say, I am elated :] I will be going back for my next tattoo. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: I heart this bar. I've never had a bad time here. Easy parking, well made drinks, and it's spacious. There's two stages, one inside and one outside, where they'll have (normally) two awesome bands playing. I love their outdoor area. They have heating lamps plus another bar. I don't mind the cover charge, it's only a few bucks. I would usually pass on paying a cover charge for what would be considered a "dive bar", but I just really dig this place. -
Linnea’s 3-star review: Ehhhhh. This is more like....a 2.5, I guess. I've been here 3 times since it's been remodeled and I've been, for the most part, disappointed. I liked the Academy of Sciences way better before it was remodeled. They've taken away all the things you liked when you were a kid. I enjoyed the aquarium, but as far as the African, earthquake, and space exhibits, maybe I just didn't look hard enough, but I'm pretty sure they took it away. Which, were the reasons I went as a kid. As of now, it's just open, modern, and boring. I wouldn't take my kids here in fear they'd fall asleep while walking around. I will however say that I enjoyed the nightlife they have. Only because the drinks were pretty good and they had great music, and vibes. The academy as it is now, is just not worth the money. -
Linnea’s 3-star review: This was the place to be when you were a kid. Unfortunately, now it just seems..sad. Maybe it's just me, but there seems to be less animals than usual. And the animals that are there weren't as lively and happy as I remembered when I was a child. The exhibit where all the snakes, butterflies, and birds were seems to always be closed. I did however take my nephew there a few months ago, and he really enjoyed the train ride! It's as if everything is exciting when you first walk in and there is so much to do! And then you slowly make your way through the zoo to the other side and it gets bare, and empty. I'll still go with my family and what not. Hopefully things will improve! -
Linnea’s 4-star review: I can officially knock this off my bookmark of places to go. I went here for lunch today and decided to order an Irish coffee and garlic fries. The Irish coffee was oh so strong (in a good way). One more of those and I would have left in the process of seeing double. The garlic fries were pretty good considering they are fries. No ballpark status though. We sat outside which was very nice since it was a sunny day. The outside seating is huge and overlooks the water. The service was slow but I brushed it off since it was really crowded. I would love to come back here after a game or around Christmas time when I hear its super cozy. -
Linnea’s 4-star review: I have so many nice memories from here. It's always a fun time exploring. When you walk in, there are plenty of pathways leading to different areas of the garden. Each area has beautiful plants, sublime flowers, ponds and bridges. You'll get a feeling of relaxation from coming here. It's a pleasant place to go to if you need to collect your thoughts and unwind. I enjoy coming here to catch up with a friend or two as well as take photos. They have a neat little area where they'll serve you a tea of your choice, with crackers and yummy cookies. You can sit down at a small table and chat with a friend while enjoying the wonderful scenery. It's especially nice when it's a sunny, warm day. I'd recommend ordering the green tea; it's amazing. The tea garden is located at a great spot. There's street parking as well as garages. The museums are right around the corner so you can make a day of touring. I had to knock off a star due to the ticket fee. It's a tad pricey. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: One word- .....wait for it...... Famazing. Thats fabulous and amazing united. This next part has nothing to do with club level, but more so in regards to AT&T Parks Irish pub downstairs from here. All I have to say is, if you ever wonder where all the rude people in the world went, they got a job at this stand. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: Oh Lord... When I am at Pier 39 I either: A. Walk super fast past this store to avoid any chocolate cravings and extra calories OR B. Enter Charlies chocolate factory and buy all the chocolate my little heart desires They have counters, shelves and prepackaged chocolate. Great for tourists!! -
Linnea’s 4-star review: Looooove StubHub. This is the place for tickets. I've never had an issue with them and knock on wood that I never have one in the future. They sure do get you with fees though. I always pick download and print tickets instead of the pick them up option or mail them to me option. You figure those would be the only two that would charge you with a certain fee. Well, no. They charge you a fee for printing out the tickets. I think thats stupid. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: This is my boyfriends favorite place for food here. You can smell the yummy-ness as you are approaching the bleachers. They pile the toppings on for you which makes it worth your $, not to mention it's jumbo size. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: Calling all my artsy, crafty crafting amigos! Paper Source is your mother ship. My BFF, being the ultimate BFF EVER, bought me a Smash Book for Christmas. I thought to myself- okay, a scrap book. Then I opened it and went on-line to research this Smash Book by K&Company. Come to find out it's not a typical "scrap book." Smash Book is it's own category and an addiction. Yes, I am addicted to Smashing. They have different themed Smash Books so you can pick a book that's you. Paper Source carries a select few books as well as different accessories to go with them. I found a small bag of old, vintage stamps, cards, and pictures from the 1920's and up for $14.00. In the bag I also found a love letter from 1930 that a man wrote to his "sweetheart" saying he apologizes for their fight and he is ready to catch the next bus to see her. This all went into my fabulous Smash Book. Paper Source also has card and craft making classes which you can do over a glass of wine if you choose. What's better than bringing out your inner artist over a glass of vino? You will find tons of things for your skillful, creative activity. Stamps, different prints of paper, markers, stickers, scrap books, you name it! Enjoy! -
Linnea’s 5-star review: I really took a liking to this particular bookstore. Since it is in the city, I was hesitant at the types of books they'd sell since I normally read romance, mystery and Conservative political novels, but this store had a wide variety of pretty much everything. It's a mini Barnes and Noble, as my friend stated below. They have a great sale section. I found a San Francisco Giants book for only $5.00, original $15.00. They also offer a frequent reader club card that gives you the option to buy up to ten books (not all at once) and get a book of your choice for free. SCORE. So if you are ever in the Marina area walking down Chestnut it wouldn't be a bad idea to check this place out. -
Linnea’s 4-star review: My boyfriend and I were undecided on where we were going to go for our two year (which was yesterday). After minutes of debating a light bulb went off in my head. BERETTA, duh. Why didn't I suggest this before. So we were off! Found parking right off the bat like last time, even though the streets were busy and Beretta was packed. As we walked in from the chilly outdoors, I found that warmth again that brought back the memories I had of my last dinner here. They sat us immediately, like last time, only we were seated at the long, middle table between the bar and two people tables. Okay, that's fine. My boyfriend ordered a beer, onion bread, and gulf shrimp. Since it's Friday and I said in my previous review I wanted so much to try their shrimp I ordered it. I also ordered baked polenta (again :)) and white blanc wine. YUM. Everything was amazing, as predicted. The shrimp were HUGE and came on top of mashed potatoes which was divine. The wine was so savory I went for another glass. The onion bread was soft, melted in your mouth and was paired with an oil dip. We topped the night off with the same dessert I had last time, the bonet. It was just as good this time as it was last. The reason why I knocked off a star was for the following: The stools were a wee bit uncomfortable according to my boyfriend. The center table is way too close to the bar. There were some drunkards who kept bumping into my boyfriend while he was eating. Kind of frustrating. Lastly, I tried to order the Tomato Risotto again but the waiter said they don't have it anymore. WHAT THE HELL. That was the best dish I've ever tasted. I could of cried...but I didn't. The service was excellent as usual. I'm always surprised by how quick they are considering how packed it normally is. We had a good anniversary :) -
Linnea’s 5-star review: After reading the reviews on here that this place is overpriced, I was scared to park here for the hour or two I'd be gone, but I had to make a decision. I had an interview at an office in the same building. I decided to take a chance and park here anyways. Whatever I had to pay, I'd pay. I was greeted with a smile and the staff were quick to get me in and out. I believe I was gone for a little over an hour. My total was $8. That's not overpriced to me... It was easy to pay and my truck was in front of me within a minute. 5 stars. -
Linnea’s 4-star review: My best friend and I were wanting to try this place for awhile. We finally did about two weeks ago. We didn't have time to make reservations and took a chance anyways. The restaurant is located in a really nice hotel. The hotel is located about 4 to 5 blocks away from Bart- if that's the form of transportation you'd like to take. If you are wearing heels, take a cab from Bart. If you aren't and don't mind walking, it's all uphill. We didn't wait very long for a table at the lounge area by the bar. The service was slow, but it was to be expected since the place was PACKED. Our waiter was very sweet and informative. I give 5 stars to the food and drinks. I recommend splitting a dish and a bowl of alcohol for two if you don't want a big bill. Even after ordering a dish to split, we still had leftovers that we brought home. The drinks for two were fancy and festive....strong, too. The bar is separate from the Tonga Room. It's down the hall and theirs a cover charge. Maybe next time when I don't empty my wallet out at dinner... -
Linnea’s 4-star review: Public House is a great place to go to if you have a ticket to the Giants game, and don't want to pay $10+ for a drink inside AT&T Park. Grab your ticket, go to Public House, get a drink after checking into AT&T, and enjoy the game. They let you bring drinks from Public House into AT&T Park- that's the beauty of this whole thing. When the Giants were in the playoffs this year, I went with my friend here to watch the game on t.v. It was hard to find seating at first, and the bar was packed, but we eventually snagged a small table. We had some tea with dinner which hit the spot. I will say, though, the prices for the food here are ridiculous. We split an appetizer so we wouldn't have to drop $20-30 bucks. We split the mac and cheese which were 2 to 3 bite sized squares. They were great, but left us hungry. -
Linnea’s 5-star review: My first time trying Indian food and I LOVED IT. As hesitant as I was with all the spices and mixtures, I am so glad I gave Indian food a try. This place is great. 5 stars to the service and food. -
Linnea’s 4-star review: This was my face when I logged onto Yelp and saw that The Cheesecake Factory had only 3 stars with 1526 reviews- O___O Yeah, there's always a wait. I don't really expect anything else since it's in, essentially, the heart of San Francisco. You know, where the tourists go? Anyways, my friend and I, or my mom and I, come here when we are not in any hurry and would like to spend the evening in San Francisco. They have outdoor seating so you can enjoy your meal with a great view of Union Square. When my mom and I went yesterday, it was an hour wait. They called us at exactly 1 hour on the dot. While waiting, we had a glass of wine and went outside to enjoy the view. We were thinking of taking the escalator down to browse Macy's while we waited, but decided against it. Once we were seated, our waitress was pleasant and the food arrived promptly and was delicious. We were in and out of there quickly since, during our hour wait, we looked at their menus and knew exactly what we wanted by the time we were seated. Seemed like the most logical idea at the time. Overall I had a good experience- like always. -
Linnea’s 2-star review: I tried to love this place, I really did, but...I...just...can't. Perhaps it's the overwhelming feeling I get when I walk in, or the fact that as I looked through their racks some of the clothes seemed, dirty? I think I'll eventually give this place another try seeing as the Yelp reviews say they have a ton of vintage racks. I must of not made it that far on my journey through the store. -
Linnea’s 3-star review: This place is definitely a hit or a miss. I've never found apparel that's caught my eye, but I have spotted some old school knickknacks and objects. Can't go wrong with VHS tapes and books. Anything that has to do with the 80's, I am in.
