"Bernal Star is a casual restaurant with a large breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. On weekends, it’s the perfect place to grab brunch with friends who recently hit Major Life Milestones, and talk about your upcoming trips to Napa over plates of french toast, buttermilk waffles, and crispy fish sandwiches. But the crowd-pleaser is their patio, which is outfitted with plenty of heat lamps to keep you and your dog warm on chilly Bernal Heights mornings. If you come here later in the day, the patio is ideal for having a beer and their solid burger." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
