In the House

The ahi special with California-avocado roll.

San Francisco abounds with excellent restaurants that I've never tried or even heard of. One of these is the House, my friend's favorite (I guess we're not that close).

We had time to spare, so we hoofed uphill to North Beach from the Financial District. Reviewers say that it's tough to get a table, but perhaps that's only true for dinner. On this Wednesday at 1 p.m. we were seated immediately.

The House may have an ordinary-sounding name, but the Asian-fusion combinations were inspired and very pretty to look at. I really must get back to the City more often....

Per the Huffington Post (2012):

San Francisco is far and away the place to be for eating out.

Not only did San Francisco come in as number one with the most restaurants per capita, no other city even came close. At 39.3 restaurants per 10,000 households, San Francisco has nearly 50 percent more relative restaurants than the second place city.
