Sunday night dinner in Pacific Heights

[hungryindallas]

Having dinner with out of town guests wanted to stay in Pacific Heights. Want a great meal and neat atmosphere. Not too loud. Need some help please.

Consider going up 8 blocks to Presidio Heights neighborhood. There is La Osteria, classic Italian and nearby Garibaldi's and Ella's. 4 blocks from here are Spruce, Sociale, and Magic Flute.

Also, there is Eliza on California near Divisadero

Yes, those are all good suggestions, especially for this coming Sunday nite (July 4), given the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival going on Saturday & Sunday. Sociale is very pleasant and the food is good.

I'd take them to Sociale for "a great meal and neat atmosphere" -
or, Spruce. http://www.sprucesf.com/

Baker & Banker can be exuberant/noisy - unless you sit at the 4-top table in the front corner. I like this one - alot!

Not sure if this request is for THIS Sunday night, but all of Fillmore will be shut down for the Jazz Festival and getting into a restaurant in this 'hood this Sunday is going to be a nightmare.

If not, I would recommend Chouquet's.

I think Spruce may be a good choice. It is open Sunday for dinner ,not too loud with great service and good food. It is located in the Laurel Heights/Presidio Heights area on Sacramento St. which would fit in greater Pac Heights, if there was such a label. The decor is warm and relaxed and conducive to a leisurely meal with conversation.

How about Florio?

I wouldn't necessarily call it great, but Cassis is reliable, has a nice, quiet atmosphere, is reasonably priced and has a classic French/Italian menu. Though I havn't been, Bushi-tei is on my must try list as a result of recommendations from several friends.

Some of the usual suspects are Fresca (nuevo Peruvian) and Florio (American bistro, good steak frites). Frankly, I am not sure there are any "great" restaurants in Pacific Heights.

The more I think of it, a lot of the best restaurants in Pacific Heights are quite noisy (SPQR, DOSA, pizzeria delfina)

It gets panned a lot on these boards, but I really enjoy La Mediteranee, and it's not too loud with a nice atmosphere. While the food is delicious though, it's nothing you couldn't get at a good Mediterranean restaurant anywhere else.

Not sure how formal you want to go, but Baker and Banker has been getting pretty good reviews,
