Across the bridge is one of the area restaurants still offering reasonable prices for top notch chow; Trader Vic's in Emeryville.
I always liked to take my N. California customers there. They almost always said they'd been to Trader Vic's, but a long time ago.
Oakland was once the 'city of broad shoulders' on the west coast.

Used to live in SF.
Top choice to eat used to be the Alta Mira in Sausalito. Beautiful views and classic place inside.

It has been turned into some type of retreat or something now.

SF has turned into a darker place in opinion. The homeless people seem aggressive and downright dangerous.
