What we’re about
This group is for visiting San Francisco Bay Area restaurants and other events that have foodie interest or a food centric theme. Such as food and wine festivals, Eat, Drink San Francisco, the San Francisco Chocolate Festival and San Francisco Street Food Festival.
While food and beverages are of primary importance, this is a social group for having fun, making new friends and keeping touch with others, trying something new, or visiting an old favorite, yet again. Join with a friend or two, or eat with strangers and find common and uncommon feasts of food, conversation and an occasional butterfly.
Attendees
Please be prompt or message your host directly (perhaps use the new chat feature) comments are delayed by as much as an hour. Dress is usually casual, use your own judgement, on a rare occasion a jacket, dress or no shorts may be required. And please take pictures of your food and upload them to our group, San Francisco Foodies maintains that the photographer maintains ownership of their art. If you want to take pictures of guests please remember to ask their permission before. Bullying and derogatory remarks are causes for removal from an event and this group. Not paying for your ordered items most likely will result in legal action.
Administrative Trivia
There are no dues. However some events require a deposit for joining. A deposit is spent toward an attendee’s bill (restaurants sometimes charge a deposit from $5, $50 or the entire cost of a meal and beverage $400).
Events are usually free to attend but each member and their guests pay for their respective meals, drinks, some events have split appetizers or family style meals where each person pays the same price and all share the meal. These details are in each event. Restaurants usually charge city tax and a mandatory gratuity. In San Francisco a percentage for employee insurance. Expect 30% to 35% added to your order.
Some Events ask for attendees to prepay a portion of any deposits or venue costs. These are paid events.
Nonprofit Fundraisers are where a donation is requested, a nonprofit is selected, usually rated 100% (some local charities are not nationally rated but all of their donations are 100% used to support their activities). For our events San Francisco Foodies asks donations to be given to the nonprofit directly, any donations collected are forwarded (100%). These are also marked as paid events.
Event Organizers are unpaid volunteers, however, some may charge a fee. Those will be paid events and full disclosure of where fees go are in each event's description. San Francisco Foodies is always looking for new volunteers as organizers and adding new events.
Use of Meetup Comments and Chat for spam is forbidden. Suggesting events is encouraged. If the event is in another group please contact an event organizer to co-host with our group. Much better to become an event organizer with our group and host an event yourself.
Be Well, #Eat San Francisco.

History
There’s a sense of relief that comes through at buzzy San Francisco restaurant 7 Adams. Things seem more relaxed and fun, as if there’s a renewed sense of freedom.Married couple and chefs David Fisher and Serena Chow Fisher shocked the Bay Area dining scene when they abruptly left their Michelin-starred restaurant Marlena last summer, citing differences with the owner. The couple quickly returned months later with a new concept named 7 Adams, a reference to Fisher’s childhood home.
Frankly, 7 Adams is a much better restaurant. The food — from the moment the glistening rolls hit the table to the final spoons of ice cream — is sharper, and the general atmosphere feels less stuffy. from San Francisco Chronicle
Professional Review
In this city, finding a five-course menu for under a hundred dollars is a tall order. Chefs Serena and David Fisher make it seem effortless, though, bringing their signature magic to this second act in a sleek new space. The cuisine keeps an unfussy Californian simplicity, featuring solid technique and thoughtful flavor combinations that allow quality seasonal ingredients to shine. Think carefully shaped caramelle pasta that pairs a filling of sweet and nutty kabocha squash with buttery chanterelles, or crisp-skinned black cod with sunchoke confit and a finely tuned shellfish broth. Desserts never fail to end the meal on a strong note, as in a perfectly tender, moist apple crumb cake dressed up with an orange bay leaf ice cream and satsuma granita. from Michelin GuideMenus and Reviews

Taxes and Restaurant Fees
Dining in San Francisco has a sales tax (8.625%) and probably an employee health mandate (3-10%), a tip (20%) may be automatically added, even on individual bills, if not we expect a 20% minimum tip to be paid for individual bills.The host calculates each diner's orders separately unless they allow separate orders, separate checks and round the final payment up to the next dollar.
Each diner is responsible for their own orders and costs but we will have to consolidate and divvy up the final bill accordingly.
Please bring cash or have Zelle or Apple Cash available.

PPQ Dungeness Island - Table for 8
PPQ Dungeness Island, 2332 Clement St, San Francisco, CA, USFrom SF Eater:
Since 2000, owner Charlie Chang has plated his Dungeness crab, and a litany of other delectable dishes, to the true delight of Bay Area diners. Along with Thahn Long, PPQ Dungeness Island represents San Francisco’s west side’s best and brightest spins on local delicacies: Dungeness crab and garlic noodles. Chang’s Vietnamese rendition is butter-roasted, served with peppercorn and garlic noodles, arguably as important an addition to the meal as the crab itself.Cost for the set dinners should be ~$60+tax, tip, and drinks per person.
We will do family style and share the food. If you order drinks, you’re responsible for your drinks. Please bring cash or have venmo/zelle to make payment easier. Reservation slots can be increased if there is enough interest.8 attendees
