We had booked an early tour of Alcatraz and weren't sure how long it would take us to get to the Wharf from our hotel by bus, so we decided to find something for breakfast near or on the Wharf. As we looked around, we saw the Eagle Cafe up on the second floor of the Pier 39 shops and thought we'd walk over to see what they had to offer. We read the menu and decided to try the restaurant out.

The Chef's Special Omelet sounded good, so we split one. It ended up that it really was enough for both of us. The omelet was jam-packed with bacon, sausage, mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, and tomatoes. It was coupled with some well-seasoned home-fried potatoes, which were delicious also. With juice for me and milk for my wife, we only spent $8 and were set for the morning's activities. We wanted to go back and try lunch sometime, but never got around to it. I guess there is always next time.

This is a small Chinese restaurant near the Hilton. It is rather non-descript and so is the food. I would not recommend eating here. There are plenty of very good restaurants in San Francisco. Find a different one.

We had our first dinner there while staying at the St. Francis and it was terrific. I am a fan of Japanese food, but Chuck had to be in the mood for it.

I ordered Edamame for starters, and between the 2 of us, we polished off the entire plate. Edamame are boiled soybeans in their pods, which are lightly salted and served as an appetizer. Great stuff, and in most cities, I'd say you can find them at green grocers. This was followed by avocado maki rolls which also disappeared fairly quickly. We had udon soba with slices of pork and brown rice which was served with soup broth which I emptied into the bowl of rice. The whole thing was quite tasty and took care of our appetities very adequately.

The restaurant is quite small and simple, but the food is fresh and prepared as you wait. If you are in a hurry, don't order anything hot, or skip this place alltogether. San Francisco, most likely, has the greatest number of Japanese and Thai restaurants per square foot than any other city. They had green tea and vanilla ice cream for dessert but we skipped.
