Meatballs were good.  It's tasty and feels like salted and peppered correctly.  It was not HARD nor was it soft enough. Just about right to be able to eat it and spoon it without a knife. Spaghetti sauce - tad sour and a bit sweet, just about right. Caesar's Romaine Lettuce - Love it and crispy! Linguine - This feels really a bit bland and didn't really enjoyed it. Service Bread (not good - not warm and tasted like yesterday's bread) Emmy's Spaghetti with Meatballs ($14.95) Linguine (White Wine) Caesar Salad Truffle Parmesan Fries

Website: Rating: 4.5 out of 5 star Feedback: I love the place for brunch.  The entrance looks inconspicuous that you will be surprise that it will lead you to a pretty and spacious restaurant. Love the high ceilings and their outside patio looks gorgeous.   Food is generally good though price is on the high end side.  It is also very difficult to make reservations here unless you go for odd hours like 1.30+ for Brunch. Pecan sticky bun It tasted good though not amazing. I didn't like the texture as it felt like it was a kinda like eating a bread which has been there for a day or two.  I have tasted better sticky buns in the airports in LA, particularly Long Beach. Home-made Rose Lemonade Very sour with a hint of rose Croque Monsieur Love it! Champagne Omelette Quite good though I can prolly just choose something else

These are basically sights and sound around Mission area of San Francisco. The light house just right across Dolores Park Along Guerroro, 827 Historical House just one of those small things you see ...  John Daly's House He made fortune with a successful dairy farm.  Daly city was named after him for helping refugees displaced by the 1906 SF Fire. Just across is the cute painting of Honey Bottle! This house is interesting because .... (see below) The emergency exit is a slide!!! Famous Aztec design and this is actually a school - Community College of San Francisco They said this is the most colourful house in SF It is along 24th Street and San Jose street.

And I heard that the Chef was formerly a famous NYC chef that moved here. Generally, it is just OK for me and tad pricy for the type of food and place The restaurant looks interesting with the Dragon almost on the entire ceiling. 13 dollars for a Salted cod fried rice - tad expensive!

Mocha - (do not order!) 3 Egg (omelette/scramble) it was good that they have salad and potatoes on the side but it was just OK

Pot Stickers and House Fried Rice Tea Salad Love it! A bit spicy, crunchy, and really good. Curry Chicken with Rice Quite Coconut Milky!  Curry is thick as it should be but it is quite bland.

Their Tomato Salsa and Salsa Verde are very very very Spicy!
