Because we live in a city that is a veritable cornucopia of good restaraunts, sometimes Alexis and I play this game. We get on a random bus, and pick a person to follow off. We then go find a place to eat. This time we were a bit foiled because the intended target faked us out. Anyway, we got out in the Hayes valley. After a bit of walking we found the Hayes Street Grill. They pull a bit of a older crowd, and have a corresponding conservative decor and menu. They offer a $29 prix fix on weekdays, consisting of a choice of salad, choice of fish and dessert.
FULL REVIEW
Hayes Street Grill is a comfortable place with a simple neighborhood restaurant feel to it. The walls are whitewashed, adorned with black and white portraits, and festooned with hat and coat hooks. Simple white glass fixtures hang from the ceiling. It looks timeless, but gives the impression that it once was smart. A bar fills the front of the room allowing a view out the large windows overlooking Hayes Street.
FULL REVIEW
On our way to a party in the neighbourhood we stopped at Hayes Street Grill, established as a stalwart pre-theatre dining establishment in Hayes Valley. The clinical unwelcoming decor, bright lighting, old-fashioned mirrors hanging on the wall and unfascinating, sparse, clientelle did nothing to warm us to the place when we first entered. We hadn't really eaten all day so I decided we should share an appetiser. The menu is fish-centric and as F doesn't eat seafood, I chose the Grilled Hoffman Quail Salad with Cherries for $12.50. The waiter kindly served the dish on two plates, with half of the juicy little quail on each. Accompanying frisee salad was well dressed with cherries packing a little extra sweet sharp punch.
