I would also suggest going to the Search box in the upper right-hand corner of this page and doing a search for Pacific Heights. You should be able to turn up a number of prior threads with suggestions for dining in the area.

To actually answer your question, restaurants in the Pacific Heights worth considering are :

1) Fresca - Peruvian seafood
2) Florio - American/French bistro
3) SPQR - Roman-style trattoria
4) Woodhouse - seafood
5) Delfina Pizza - pizza!
6) Harry's - good burgers

All these places are within a block or two of the intersection of California & Fillmore Streets.

I thought SPQR dropped the Roman influence after the new chef took over

I think you're right. It's still my favorite, though, among those suggested by DavidT. The pastas, particularly, are outstanding.

California and Fillmore is a bit 'lower' pacific heights, is it not?

+1 for SPQR.

I also like Pane e Vino, northeast at Union near Gough.
And Jackson Fillmore, 4 blocks north of there.
And Baker Street Bistro, at Baker near Greenwich.

And for currently unuseful information:
I miss Coffee Cantata (gone!) and I miss the day when Betelnut was original and new, though it is still there.

Having lived in Pacific Heights (north of Sacramento & east of Presidio) for 20 years, I would consider not consider Pane & Vino or Baker Street Bistro (both worthy choices) to be in Pacific Heights at all. They are, respectively, Union Street and Cow Hollow restaurants.

Well, given that we're referring to the city as Frisco, I think we can be off by a block (union) or 3 (baker & greenwich)

And I retract my statement about California being 'lower', it appears to be the border street between the two regions (at least as per the maps on sfrealtors.com)

I don't suppose the OP is allowed to stray far enough south to go to Bar Crudo?

[stanbee]

Woodhouse is good for the fried clambellies fry of bland fish. The stuffed giant artichoke looks good.

Sorry, have not been so lucky with the rest of the menu.

The lobster of roll fame is too moist (like canned or frozen?) and contained too many off-tasting rubberish small claws for the price.

Have had many fine meals at Fresca. Has my favorite grilled fresh fish sandwiches at lunch.
