Any thoughts on restaurants with good liquor selections as well as vegetarian options? Tue Jun 10 15:58:20 -0700 2008 14367 The Dive 1 3768408 How about in near proximity but not the same place? Suggest dinner at Ti Couz (interesting selection of excellent Breton buckwheat crepes including veg versions) followed by drinks at Elixir which is one of the best watering holes for that sort of thing in SF (and its just a block and a half away). Tue Jun 10 17:31:23 -0700 2008 3768183 15879 Joan Kureczka 2 3770549 You have to get the *right* bartender at Elixir. It's not always stellar. Wed Jun 11 10:42:11 -0700 2008 3768408 10658 Atomica 1 3769045 Nihon, Folsom at 14th, has a ridiculously overblown whisky selection as well as a fair number of fish- and meat-free sushi/robata-like small plate thingies.

Dinner was fantastic and the fixed price menu is always a good deal (and a good idea when you have a mixed vegetarian/carnivore group, as you can chose the entrees). Plus the cocktails are so interesting that my friend was willing to diverge from his typical scotch-only policy.

Just one more instance of Aziza being a good answer for almost any request on this board (that's not geographically specific). Mon Jun 16 17:17:24 -0700 2008 3785766 10159 Ruth Lafler
