Brian: "We all got the Korean steak sandwich, and we were all totally blown away."
Beth: "We were a little surprised when we arrived at this deli because we were expecting a little more than a sandwich shop inside of a mini-mart; however, the food was not disappointing!"
Gary: "We chose four different “street food” selections. We weren’t disappointed. All four were fantastic."
Gary: "We love their portobello mushroom fries with Fat Boy Ranch dipping sauce."
Brian: "The portions were very generous and therefore the meal was of good value. The service was very friendly and offered advice."
Beth: "The Pot Roast was “killer!” Normally, I am not the biggest fan of pot roast, however, it was braised well, was crispy on the outside, and had a juicy sauce that was not gelatinous."
Beth: "It is classic Sonoma and is perfect to end a day of wine tasting."
Gary: "The fish was crispy, yet fork tender, and the potato and spinach were great complements, but my favorite part was the lemon-caper butter drizzle (fantastic)."
Brian: "The mussels were ok. We had several that did not open which I was surprised by but even that did not irate me much as the fries."
Brian: "Patxi’s Chicago Pizza serves up the best, most authentic Chicago-style pizza anywhere outside of the Windy City."
Julie: "This pizza was delicious — the combination of the chorizo, jalapeños, and coppa was mouth-watering."
Karen: "My favorite was the spinach-pesto pan pizza just because the pesto was so good. "
Julie: "What I really like about the dishes here is that they are designed for sharing, which provides a great way to try a little bit of everything and makes the dining experience more intimate."
Karen: "Our immediate impression of Mercury Lounge was nothing more than a loud bar crowded with musical equipment and in general disarray."
Brian: "The main courses were the highlights, led by the pork sisig. This dish absolutely stole the show for my group."
Karen: "This is a place that offers a straightforward, fresh, and focused approach to the burger."
Brian: "The absolute star of the show was undoubtedly the True Deluxe, a cheeseburger plus a whole portabella mushroom that has been stuffed with smoked mozzarella, breaded, and deep-fried."
Julie: "To my delight, the fries were cooked perfectly — crispy and not too salty and the traditional thin kind, which I prefer over wedge fries."
David: "So first and foremost, Alhamra is at the top of my list because they can deliver the spice."
Sarah: "Next up was the chicken tikka masala. The chicken used was good quality, the meat was cooked well, and the sauce was a good flavor."
Tony: "My wife and I both agreed that if we were living in the Mission District or even in the surrounding areas, Alhamra would become a regular take-away place for us."
Sarah: "It comes to the table unmixed, and then your waiter or waitress will toss everything together after pointing out each ingredient. This is one of my favorite parts of coming here."
Tony: "The last dish to arrive at the table was the tea-smoked duck. This dish was by far the standout of the meal."
David: "The samusa soup is a must at this place."
