Best Restaurants for People Watching in Pacific Heights

Dining today at Choquette's was just like being in a Paris cafe. OO LA LA! It's a chilly SF Day so we opted for the French Onion Soup - OMG deeelicous. Paid for bread and great butter and shared a lovely butter lettuce salad Ala French vinaigrette. All wonderful BUT they could have put a bit more dressing on the great fresh butter lettuce leaves and I could have requested more but didn't. All in all - we'll return soon.

The ambiance was great, however there was a noticeable delay between our starters and entrees coming out. We ordered oysters - which were fresh, baked cheese and warmed olives, and the focaccia was deliciously herby. Swordfish, duck, and two steak frites were ordered as mains, all arrived together however the fries were dry and cold (as compared to the steak on the same plate). Overall the food and drinks were delicious.

Awesome in all aspects we weren’t rushed which I a plus

Flores is one of my favorite spots, and every visit feels like a treat, but my last experience there managed to outshine even their usual high standards. The food and service are always exceptional, but their problem-solving and customer care truly stood out this time. It was a busy Friday night, and our initial table was under a strong air conditioner. When we mentioned it, we were told the restaurant was fully booked, and I assumed we'd just have to make do. However, the lady manager worked her magic and found us a more comfortable table despite the full house. Her efficiency and willingness to ensure we had a great experience truly impressed me. I didn’t manage to catch her name, but her professionalism deserves a shout-out! The rest of the evening was just as stellar—delicious food, attentive service, and a warm ambiance. Flores continues to set a high bar for dining experiences, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommended!

Just a great overall experience! I’ll be back. And will recommend this to everyone I know.
