Best of San Francisco Review:

In Upper Market, right on the Classic Streetcar line, at the entrance to the Castro district is one of the best casual restaurants in San Francisco. Designed with the ambiance of an early North Beach cafe, Chow has fast become a favorite local meeting place. Dark, polished wood, paintings, flowers, period light fixtures and high ceilings provide a feeling of comfort. Their full menu offers daily sandwich specials, soups and great appetizers, salads, pasta, wood-fired pizza, grilled and roasted poultry & meats, and very special desserts. Relaxed & friendly service. They have a long antique bar where you can enjoy an imported cold brew - selected from 7 on tap - big bottles of imported beer from Ireland & France, or 13 small bottle brands. A good wine list, all available by the glass or bottle. Perfect place to stop, day or night, before visiting the Castro district and Upper Market Street neighborhoods.
