Description

This venerable (since 1938) San Francisco eatery off Union Square has been thoughtfully refurbished (vintage tile floors, real antiques, mellow lighting) and is once again an excellent place for classic American breakfasts (served until 3 p.m.) and simple lunches and dinners.

The Sears version is every bit as good as its famous pancakes; the waffles are... More »
