Zazie – Cole St., Cole Valley

The good: As one of my favorite restaurants, just about everything. The food, number one: consistently delicious. Have had best duck / chicken dishes of my life here. The wine, served in tumblers rather than wine glasses (how I prefer it at home, so big bonus). The warm rolls, heated up in kitchen toaster right before they’re brought to table – delish. The service – friendly, laid-back staff always recognize your face, genuinely want you to enjoy your time there but aren’t overbearing. The atmosphere – I dream of parking myself in with a few friends on cold stormy nights. Would actually prefer to live here, if possible. Oh – love the back patio, too. Just haven't been able to go out there in months, as a result of dreary weather, so almost forgot it was there.

The bad: Too popular as of late! Bitter Pam is not the only fan.

The bottom line: Go, go, go! Check it out.

The bathroom: Barely existent – small sliding door off hallway to the kitchen. Purely functional.
