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.

The Cafe offers upscale American grub, a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere, televised sports, and a long wooden bar with its own appetizer menu and smattering of post-work young corporate types. Beware, young male prepsters: This corner is also known to some as the "Bermuda Triangle" for its cadre of "cougars"--older ladies with a... More »

  • 2002 | Best Burger

    The excellent hamburger prepared and served at the Balboa Cafe is unlike any other in the city. Instead of a sesame seed bun or a slice of focaccia or a sourdough roll, the starch of choice is a crisp, slender, hollowed-out baguette that serves as a delicate crust for the thick and juicy slab of grilled beef. The result is a hamburger at once hearty, elegant, and absolutely appropriate to the restaurant's clubby ambience of crisp napery, dark woods, brass accents, and handsome artworks.... More »
