Description

A bar and grill has been open at this location since 1913. The Balboa Cafe, flagship of the PlumpJack group, serves solid, pricey, upscale American food (salads, burgers, fresh fish, pasta, steaks, and chops) in a wood-paneled setting perfect for its Cow Hollow/Pacific Heights neighborhood. Among the standbys are a big burger served on a baguette and the reliable roasted chicken.

    I haven't eaten here, but it's a pretty good bar to go to on the weekends. It can get really crowded and is definitely a pick-up scene.
