I don't remember The Saloon, but I used to eat frequently at the Tadich Grill when I was a kid. IIRC, the Tadich dates to 1849 or so. My father's family didn't arrive in California until the early 1850s, and I'm only a 5th generation Californian, but the place was a favorite of my greatgrandfather (who was a friend of AP Giannini), my grandfather and my father. I miss the old San Francisco before the homosexuals and leftists took over; the old house in Pacific Heights, visiting shops with my grandfather who seemed to know everyone, and running around the Presidio. Are you a native?

Tadich is still a wonderful spot, great food, good service, too packed! I was 5th generation Texas but got a little tired of the 100 degree summers. When I went to boot camp in San Diego I decided then and there that when I was done, I was moving to San Diego. Lived on the beach in La Jolla about 10 years and finally got bored but always enjoyed visiting up here. Moved here in ‘91, we live out in the outer Sunset close enough to hear the waves at night. I now consider 80 degrees to be pretty warm.
