What are your group restaurant recommendations?

There are over 4,000 restaurants in San Francisco, making it the No. 1 city for restaurants per capita in the country. Thus, I like to customize which restaurant would best suit an individual group. However, my favorites are Frisson, Cafe Tiramisu, the Carnelian Room, and Boulevard. In addition, I love to recommend dining on a chartered yacht while sailing on the San Francisco Bay.

Can you recommend a good place to take a stroll?
The newly refurbished Embarcadero by the Ferry Building or Crissy Field, which provides a magnificent view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Are there any quirky places we should check out?
Cable Car Museum, walking the meditation labyrinth in Grace Cathedral, and the Haight Ashbury district should not be missed. The Beat Museum in the City Lights Bookstore is also a rare jewel.

If we only have an hour or two, what should we definitely check out nearby?
Explore the back alleys of Chinatown, wind your way into the North Beach Italian district, check out Lombard Street, climb Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower, descend via the secret Filbert Street steps, and end up in Fisherman’s Wharf for a crab cocktail with a glass of California’s finest.
