"If there were a Real Housewives Of Cow Hollow, 75% of the show would be filmed at Balboa. Perfectly coiffed locals of all ages descend upon this old-timey bar daily for espresso martinis, photo ops with cocktails, and “accidental” run-ins with exes. Yes, there is a menu of burgers, calamari, and salads, but it’s OK at best. You’re here to look hot, pet a Shih Tzu that isn’t yours, and follow up those espresso martinis with a Bloody Mary or four." - Julia Chen
