We've come here for breakfast over the years but this was our first dinner visit. It was alright and everyone (we were a party of 3) seemed satisfied. I enjoyed my Fisherman's Platter, pretty good size of fried and battered fish, shrimp, calamari (tasty but slightly over fried) with lots of fries. I intended to eat only half but I ate it all, along with a bottle of cider. Service was super friendly and they let us linger after we finished our meal. We seemed to beat the dinner rush, and a steady stream of patrons filled the upstairs dining area, I'd say about 75% full? I'd consider coming here again for solid American food, spacious dining room, and friendly service.
I had heard that Sears Fine Food was a popular place for locals and tourists and had to try it. We started with the a couple appetizers...Brussels sprouts and Calamari. Both were very tasty. I tried the burger and it was okay. The service was great and attentive. The interior decor was definitely took us back in time , a reflection of when the restaurant originally opened in 1938.
Ordene la especial "Al" y me encanto! Ordered the "Al" breakfast and it was delicious! Corned beef hash, small pancakes, maple syrup and eggs. Sweet and savory bites tasted great after an hour of ice skating. Breakfast ends at 2pm. Easy location, good service, clean bathrooms, no lines and an old San Francisco feel!
If you are in the Union Square area of SF and are looking for a breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner spot...Sears is the place. A busy packed restaurant that is an established iconic business in SF! Great fast service, ample menu with tons of choices to satisfy any appetite. A great place to gather before a show, while shopping or touring.
Another mandatory stop on my God-father's (walking) tour of San Francisco. His advice: Come here for the pecan waffle. It was great advice. The waffle was delicious, the service fantastic (Laura Pa.) and the ambiance super cool. I enjoyed the old photos, and the accolades. If it was just a bit later in the day, I might have had a drink at the bar. A short walk from Union Square, and the trolley, it was a great stop to get off at. Take the trolly up the hill, have a waffle, walk you way downhill to the bottom.
Typical deli fare. Came in with friends for breakfast Everything was as expected with pancakes, omelets, juice and coffee. All good and a clean place
