When I told a friend I was planning to visit San Francisco, he told me that I had to try dining at Tangerine. So, one Saturday morning I decided to brunch there with a friend and we had the best Eggs Benedict I have ever had with the most delicious freshly squeezed orange juice, all very reasonably priced and served by a very attentive and professional waiter.
After such an impressive brunch, I decided to dine at Tangerine one evening to try their dinner. The owner of the restaurant, Sean, approached us, and since we were new to the restaurant was happy to let us sample various appetizers, including delicious fried okra, egglant, and incredibly good duck rolls. For dinner I had a delicious serving of Sea Bass served on a bed of steamed rice wrapped in kale (excellent) and my friend had the New York Strip (which he said was one of the best he had ever eaten--and being a Texan, he knows steak).
Tangerine serves excellent food in a friendly, inviting, very California atmosphere at very reasonable prices--a place that seems just as good for the local as it is for the tourist. Just remember that with brunch, be sure to order a tall glass of their orange juice---you'll be glad you did.
Pros: Ambience, Parking, Service
