Overheard on the San Francisco Boards

"Hands-down the most creative tempura I have ever been served. Besides being delicious (think of Japanese/Maryland crab cakes) it was a great presentation." - Paul H, on the crab tofu-skin tempura at Kappou Gomi

"Keep in mind I only tried one dish, but I gotta say, this is the best German food I've had in SF (been here 20 years now)." - pauliface, after trying the Rinderroulade at Walzwerk

"I second and third À Côté, where [mussels] are cooked in a wood-fired oven, in a creamy Pernod-based broth. I do not overstate when I say that I would be content to eat them daily." - jillyju, on her favorite Oakland restaurant for mussels
