Balboa Cafe

3199 Fillmore (at Greenwich)

San Francisco, CA 94123

415-921-3944
Website

A bar and grill has been open at this location since 1913. The Balboa Cafe, flagship of the PlumpJack group, serves solid, pricey, upscale American food (salads, burgers, fresh fish, pasta, steaks, and chops) in a wood-paneled setting perfect for its Cow Hollow/Pacific Heights neighborhood. Among the standbys are a big burger served on a baguette and the reliable roasted chicken. - Meredith Brody

The Inside Word on Balboa Cafe

LaraW

cougar central is what I like to call this place. I promise you if you bring a good looking younger guy (between 21 and 25) the 40 year old women will show no fear, have no shame, and be so aggressive its worth the $9 martini just to see the look on your poor friends face!

I haven't eaten here, but it's a pretty good bar to go to on the weekends. It can get really crowded and is definitely a pick-up scene.
