Food scene

Farm Club is true farm to table dining. Their menu changes as crops come in. I have never been disappointed with anything I’ve eaten there. The little market is also fun to browse. They partner with a local vineyard for a few wine selections, as well as crafting their own beer. They were written up in Bon Apetit, who raves about the Onion Rings. So if you’re lucky enough to be here when that crop comes in, you’re in for a treat!

If you enjoy sushi or curry, make sure you stop here! Food is fabulous (a bit on the more expensive side). And the waitstaff is fabulous, friendly and attentive. Cocktails are delicious as well.

Best Sunday Roasted Chicken with all the fixings (mashed potatoes and gravy, slaw, biscuit). My favorite is their homemade crab cakes! They also have an art gallery. Definitely a favorite amongst the OMP (Old Mission Peninsula) locals.

If you like vegan or vegetarian this is your spot. Amazing entrees and cocktails. I’m not a vegetarian, but often order those dishes here because they are amazing!

This place, which just opened this year has, in my opinion, the best craft beers around. And their food, AMAZING! I love that they are in Slabtown area, just west of busy busy downtown, And they have parking next to their building. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Outstanding Takeaway

Soon to open on 8th street, but worth the drive to 14th street for now! If you’re wanting to grab a quick breakfast treat, salad or sandwich, or even a pizza to go, this is the place!! Their morning buns are out of this world. I’ve had salad, sandwich and white pizza (which is ginormous), and have loved everything.

Favorite Brunch Place

You will love it! Located in The Commons (the old psychiatric hospital that has been redeveloped into shopping and dining). The crab cake Benedict is my favorite, but so are the omelets, oatmeal, pancakes and the cinnamon or pecan rolls.

Very close to favorite Brunch spot

Frenchies is super small (maybe room for 10 inside and another 10 outside), but worth the wait. Best pastrami I’ve ever had, whether in hash or as a sandwich. They also have the best biscuits with homemade raspberry jam! It may not look like much from the outside, but you will absolutely enjoy your meal!

Best $$$ Dinning

Little secret, the Bar here has its own menu which is a little less expensive, and you still get the beautiful view of the West Bay! The bar also allows you order off the restaurant menu. If you’re looking for fine dining, this is a must.

Sweet Goodies

Oh my gosh this place is so adorable and delicious! The owner puts the treats in the shed outside the house for you to pick goodies, and then pay via Venmo. A brownie is probably enough for 3 people (not that it ever stopped me from eating one on my own). She sells out early though.

Craft Cocktails

Take a step back to prohibition. Meticulously made and amazing cocktails!
