Garricks Picks - The Best Restaurants in the Bay Area
Here are a few of my fav's. I hope you enjoy this part of the site and reference it often. If there is one thing I know it is good food! Being a graduate of the California Culinary Academy and a culinarian for 10 years I have seen a lot and tasted more!
La Pinata - Alameda, San Leandro and other East Bay Locations
Tasteee Mexican Food. If you like hot go for the Camornes a Diablo! Birra on weekends and terrific Margaritas!
Linguini's Pizza and Brew/ Pasta and Vino - Alameda
The Pizza side is great for kids and people looking to watch the game. The rom is split so it works out well. The Pasta side is casual fine dining in a more intimate setting. The food is AWESOME!
Dragon Rouge - Alameda
This place is hip, delicious, and inexpensive - eat here at least once a week!
Angela's - Alameda
Their new location is beautiful. Basically California Cuisine, very fresh and great service.
Boulevard - San Francisco
This is where I did my internship and is what I believe to still be the best restaurant in San Francisco.
