"Designed to meet the needs of the whole family — some locations even welcome furry friends and serve booze — it’s no wonder this has become a mini-chain throughout the Bay Area. The Inner Sunset mainstay is across the street from Golden Gate Park when you need a break from the museums or want to grab takeout to eat in the park. Weave your way through strollers to get to indoor dining or enjoy the tiki-themed outdoor seating area. Kids can choose between fried food baskets, bowls, or sushi, and grownups can dine on all manners of seafood from poke to tacos. A second location in the Marina offers sidewalk and parklet seating." - Laura Smith Borrman, Christine Gallary
