Description

The best place for a pre- or post-theater bite (right up the street from the Geary and the Curran, and a block away from the Post Street Theatre), the Petit has a reasonably priced menu of small plates, salads, pizzas, and a few entrées. The setting combines elements of Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and quirky art (turn-of-the-20th-century pen-and-ink drawings, life-size bronze statues) to good effect, and the expert drinks (also available at the carved-wood bar) are a distinct plus.

    I go here a lot for happy hour. They have a lot of yummy, good deals, and a very nice attentive bar staff. It's very nice decor as well.

  • 2005 | Best Post-Theater Snacks

    One of the best things about an evening at ACT or the Curran or Marines Memorial is heading to a bistro afterward and deconstructing the experience over noshes and cocktails. The Grand Cafe is the ideal post-theater option -- and not simply because of its location. The snacks prepared and served in the restaurant's cocktail lounge are among the best in the city: big iced platters of oysters, clams, and mussels; artisanal cheeses from here and abroad; light, crisp wood-fired pizzas; omelets...

  • 2003 | Best Potato Chips

    One of the truly satisfying moments in American literature takes place after the hero of Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms deserts the Army and swims, hikes, and freight-hops across the wet, cold Italian countryside. Bedraggled and exhausted, he makes his way to a hotel bar in Stresa and enjoys a restorative repast of martinis and potato chips. The Grand Cafe is the closest thing San Francisco has to a belle époque watering hole: towering ceilings, ornate woodwork, lushly upholstered... More »
