This is the neighborhood bistro, where the kitchen staff is top-notch and the choice of items on the menu ranges from excellent fish to incredible hamburgers.
Of course, there is the grilled Ahi steak (which is excellent), their hamburgers and chicken sandwiches (which are medium-size and full of flavor and exquisite), their cioppino (fish stew with a tomato base). That's just the start.
They have live music, they are quiet enough to enjoy the meal, and they have a consistently outstanding kitchen staff.
I was a patient of Bill's from 1990-2010 and will be going back to him in June. I am delighted.
Bill is thorough, conscientious, a great guy, and possibly the reason I'm still around. I adore just about everything about him, including the fact that I respect him enough to treat him as "the doctor" and will negotiate with him but then will do what I agree.
Hell, his sister is a physician who fills in for him when he's out. The family is that conscientious.
He is a hero to many folks with HIV.

Lovely sentiments, Jeff. Thanks for the shout-out around Dr. Owen's great care. He'll be thrilled to read this review. Best wishes for continued health. Cheers!
Bachelor Chow on the run - a review.
I was running errands in San Francisco, yesterday. It was nearly lunchtime, and I ducked into Rosemunde's for sausage-and-beer.
In San Francisco, it's the top.
Well, they had a brunch menu put up. Biscuits and gravy, if I wanted it. I took a chance, and ordered it.
Served on a bed of spinach, they brought fresh biscuits, poached eggs, and gravy that reminded me of an Oklahoma diner.
Wow. They have brunch that rivals its excellent sausage-and-beer fare!
Honest-to-god, it really is as good as it gets. This is the sausage place that has top-notch choices in about any category of sausage that you can imagine. Good beers. Space to be with friends. A TV in the corner playing old movies with closed-captions and no sound. ("Advice and Consent" was playing when I was there. I nursed a beer, had two sausages in their "plate" combo, and watched the end of an Otto Preminger film.)
They know from brats. They know from beers. They are fast, nice, smart, and have great food. You can have a conversation there with a friend over a beer and sausage, and actually hear each other.
Actually, I'm afraid to tell you how good the place is. I wanna be able to find a table. (So, maybe I should lie: "it's dreadful, it's horrible.."
No, doesn't work. Rosamunde's too great.)
Just save a place for me, okay?
If you are in the East Bay, you go to Zachary's. If you're in San Francisco or the peninsula, you go to Patxi's.
You do not get to ask which is better. (That is like asking whether you prefer a yellow 2-carat diamond or a blue 2-carat diamond in the engagement ring.)
Zachary's was the first "chicago pizza" place that I tried in the SF area, that I returned to for a second visit. And a third. And... If they had opened a franchise restaurant in Chicago, the locals would accept it immediately. That's the highest praise I have for a pizza place, the highest anyone could have for a pizza place.
Budget the time - they cook to order and they realize that good pizza takes a while. Bring friends, it's big.
I prefer the space in the one on College Avenue, perhaps bit more than the one on Salano.
I did not use their service, because they were so bad on the sales end.
I was staring at the list of services, and starting to walk to the counter to order a pedicure or a massage, and two men scrambled to be in front of me. I let them go first, and they started to just amble and waste time.
After a bit of time (maybe 3-5 minutes), one started to futz with things on a shelf and the other wandered into the back. I finally asked, "are you going to buy something?" and the guy turned, and said he was the owner.
I could not choose between being embarrassed or irritated, which is hardly the introduction you want to a spa/massage service.
I don't know why they were putting themselves between a [prospective] customer and a service, but that's what they did. If that is their business model, I will be interested in which shop replaces them within a season.

Addendum two years later: NO response from the owner on this forum and the place is still there. What gives?
