I haven't been to Fringale in 2 years. I know it changed ownership, is it still excellent? Over the past several years there, I've had some good meals there, and some outstanding meals there.

I don't think the chef has changed since 2008.

Within their respective price categories and styles of dining:

Perbacco
Delfina
Ame
La Folie
NOPA

But those are all VERY different from one another in pretty much all aspects (though both Delfina and Perbacco are Northern Italian, just different parts).

There are scores of regular posters on this board, hundreds of occasional posters, and new people all the time.

There are also probably a dozen tourists a week who ask some variation of "where should I eat in SF?" Those posts often get no response since the question is too vague and people who follow the board regularly have seen it literally thousands of times. Specific questions such as "where's the best sushi" or requests for feedback on a planned itinerary always get responses.

If you're rude or insulting, the moderators will remove your posts.

So many to love. My favorites right now . . .

Reform Club SF. A pop-up that happens ever few Sundays or so. They take over the Specchio space in the Mission and make some delicious 4-course meals for 40-50 and wine pairings for an add charge.

Umami - Japanese spot. I hear it gets pretty hot and trendy later in the evening, but we are early diners and have usually sat downstairs. Fresh sushi with creative entrees. Priced just about where Japanese tends to be.

Maverick - Given all the restaurants in SF that do the Cal-Med, fresh/local, etc. vibe, I know there are others as good or maybe better, but it's a small charming spot and they have not failed to deliver ingredient-driven quality food with attentive service and wonderful wines.
