SF in July with 3 picky eaters - any thoughts?

Spending a couple of days in SF and looking for dinner reccomendations. My wife likes fish, lobster and shrimp, usually simply grilled; 2 kids are pretty unadventerous and would be happiest with burgers, pizza, pastas. I love good food, and have no dislikes. Anything that can make all 4 of us happy?

    Check out the menu from the Tadich Grill. Let the kids fill up on the wonderful bread, and you and your wife enjoy the petrale sole or the sand dabs.

      Most San Francisco restaurants are pretty "safe" in that respect; the vast majority of them serve dishes that won't put off the faint of heart. Perhaps stay away from the French places and maybe any ethnic cuisines they're not familiar with, but otherwise you can go nearly anywhere. Plenty of good restaurants here also serve burgers that are genuinely worth ordering, although perhaps not if you're a tourist, I dunno.

      Gialina is very kid-friendly, if your kids are particularly young, and the food is good enough that it won't feel like a waste of a meal.

        sotto mare - really incredible italian seafood, and great pasta dishes too (the pesto is quite underrated)
