Come for the beer, don't stay for the food... 10/7/2007

A coworker took me here a few weeks ago, and I'm disappointed I didn't say no, as there are SO MANY amazing places in San Francisco...but I was tired and just wanted to eat. I was pleasantly surprised by the beer selection and their generosity in offering a flight of beers for tasting before we made a decision on what to order. The menu was typical of this kind of chain, and the quality of food matched that. I really hate to be a snob about restaurants...but considering the cost of the food, you can do SO MUCH BETTER. Really. I ordered a steak that, while cooked to my liking, was very boring. It had gristly bits in it and lacked any strong meaty tastes. The vegetables on the plate were especially sad, just a collection of steamed veggies - about what I'd get from a frozen Green Giant box. Now maybe I'm expecting too much, but for the same price, I could have such better food elsewhere. The server was almost a parody along the lines of the waiter in ""Office Space."" And the host/hostesses were snooty, given that this is just a gussied up Applebee's with a brewery. I wouldn't go back unless I just wanted greasy appetizers and beer. Pros: It's in San Francisco Cons: Mediocre food, so-so service more
