San Francisco.......... here we come!

We did return to San Francisco in June ..... but it was still somewhat cold!  Blue skies, but warm jacket needed......
We like the SF MOMA......

so returned to check out their current exhibition.....

We sat out on the roof garden restaurant...... but didn't try to remove jackets!!

loved their cakes.....

and  had a fantastic view of the surrounding buildings and rooftops....

Then on to Chinatown..... still pretending to be tourists!

We also returned in early August...... just check out this photo of Union Square... now no blue sky and still somewhat cool......

We returned to stay in our favorite hotel there, the Clift........

We love the quirky lobby........

 and the hotel rooms are very comfortable..

...with nice little touches!

For dinner we went to Canteen

 which is very small so one needs to book ahead.
The food is excellent, however they have a prix fix menu so it might not suit everyone.

The kitchen is also quite small........... amazing that they can produce such good food there!

This amuse bouche was a clear tomato juice which was fantastic.......the red at the bottom was a cherry!

 and they have good wines......

For lunch we went back to an old favorite the Grand Cafe.  This is just next door to the hotel so is an easy option......

we love its quirkyness also......

and the casual food is very good........
