The Restaurant at Argonaut Hotel

"Features include a seafood restaurant, and the location makes some of San Francisco's most popular attractions easily accessible"

"Drop anchor at this "nautical-themed" "secret" (part of the Kimpton chain), which offers a "breath of fresh air" thanks to "nice-sized" quarters with Frette linens and in-room spa treatments, plus "delicious" oceanic eats at the restaurant, all set in a "beautiful, historic" building in a "terrific location" off Fisherman's Wharf; some say parking is "steep" and the walls are "paper thin", but a "courteous" staff eases the pain, and the complimentary "wonderful wine hour" "goes down well too"; P"

"To explore further afield, hop on the cable car and ride it all the way to Hyde Street, a few blocks from the boutiques and cafés of tree-lined Hayes Valley, and from there venture into the Mission for the city’s most exciting restaurants, including Argentine-styled Lolinda and Central Kitchen, which has a pretty open-air courtyard"

"A narrow sitting area near the restaurant is fitted with whimsical teak deck furniture that looks like it is straight off a tramp steamship"
