Beretta Brunch

I've been wanting to check out Beretta's brunch for almost 4 years now but the endless lines have kept me away till today.  Today a few girlfriends and I decided to brave it and went a few minutes before opening (11am) and were seated fairly quickly.    The food was unbelievably amazing and I have to say the breakfast pizza is out of this world.    We ordered a creamy spinach, mushroom, and egg pizza along with an order of French Toast. 

Pros:
Delicious, not a bite to spare, life changing food. 
Good strong drinks.  We had bloody marys which were spicy and a Pimm's cup which was very refreshing.

Cons:
Long waits usually.  Can beat the line if you come a few minutes before opening.  10.30am - 10.45am.  
Slow service as the place gets busy.

Sweet Maple, Pac Heights Brunch

Sunday brunch is my absolute favorite thing to do in San Francisco.  I have a few go to spots but often enough I try out a new spot hoping to add it to the mix.

The girls and I decided to try Sweet Maple in Pac Heights.    We were going to watch a movie at Sundance Kabuki so it was a convenient hop and a skip from there.  


Pros:
Free coffee while you wait.
Food came out fairly quickly and exactly as we had ordered. 
Traditional menu with a few twists.   

Cons:  
Very very very long wait.  We arrived at 10.30 am and were seated by Noon.  
The bar area is not self seated.  You can grab a drink but seating is for seated patrons only.
Not a lot of parking options in the area.

Food:
We ordered the sweet potato tator puffs, eggs over easy, french toast, and an omelet.  The French toast was absolutely delicious and came with fresh strawberries and blueberries at no extra charge.

Overall I liked this brunch spot.  I would come again but maybe at an earlier hour and with no plans for the rest of the day.  People tend to linger here and I can see why.  

Welcome to my blog!

I've been inspired by some good friends to start my own blog and I have to say I am very excited about it.    I'm hoping to post restaurant recommendations, travel tips, fashion steals, and anything fabulous that comes my way.  Hope someone somewhere ends up reading it!
