• Overpriced, unremarkable food.

“Whirlwind Valentine's Day Trip to San Francisco with wife. Stayed at Prescott Hotel (which we both highly recommend) and weren't very interested in the hotel's restaurant, so booked Zingari's well in advance (it is about five doors from the hotel). Very quick seating for such a busy night, the water and bread arrived even before we were into the awkward small talk phase. We note with interest the tromp l'oueille scenery around us and the boisterous (if not to say boorish) table of six beside us raucously recounting their day in the City. Waitress arrived in decent length of time, very friendly and helpful - we are not gastronomes and so sometimes need a little help deciphering menu language. Wife's crab cakes and my Caesar salad both arrived well before we would have though possible on one of the busiest restaurant nights of the year. Both appetizers good, Caesar was constructed with Romaine hearts, not shreds, and was a little bland for my taste. Wife reports crab cakes excellent. Main course - Seafood risotto for better half, chicken for me, both good but not particularly outstanding. Dessert choices somewhat limited (don't know whether this is only a problem on the prix fix menu) and they were out of the creme brule my wife had craved all day. Both of us had the Tiramisu, which I think may have waited too long in a refrigerator - the lady fingers were soggy and the texture of the entire dish seemed mushy. Long stemmed rose and huge chocolate covered strawberry were a nice after-dinner touch while we listened to the jazz coming from the bar below. And finally, the prix was indeed fixed, I don't think you need to fix it so haut. Overall a rather unremarkable meal in a nice setting with excellent service. ”
