San Francisco buddies -- I need a restaurant recommendation

[kedh]

My colleague and I will be in San Francisco on Monday night staying near Union Square. She wants to go some place fun for dinner and of course (since I lived there four years) thinks I should have all kinds of ideas and of course I don't. Any recommendations? Near our hotel is probably best.

Michael Mina?

Could be perfect. The location is just right. ;)

Michael Mina would be great.

I also looooove Farallon. Best desserts in the city. Dinner is great as well and the atmosphere/decor is very fun.

that's a good one

I have been dying to go to Michael Mina.... you'll have to do a detailed recap of your meal! :)

HOWEVER, I'm not under the impression that it's the most "fun" restaurant - but I could be wrong. I'm under the impression it's more.... white tablecloth, formal, etc. Of course, I don't have any suggestions since I have lived in the city in a long time and the last year I lived there, I was pregnant, so I didn't go out that much....

My colleague poo-poo'd it. She said it was too stuffy. But the menu looked so yummy. She's a single gal and always wants to go to the fun/hip place. She can be tough to please...

BIL recommended Oola (in soma) and Myth. Every heard of those?

I've heard Myth is very good... but have not been there!

[kedh]

OK. Thanks!

I've heard great things from a friend about Myth. She's been a number of times.
Other's are Masa's, Farallon, and Fleur de Lys. All in the Union Square vicinity. J and I don't get to the city much, but a friend of mine is a big time foodie and goes to all the best places like those I mentioned.
