I expected more from The San Franciscan, with its great location, ambiance and food presentation...but it lacked execution in what was called their "signature" dishes by our server. We ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna and the Seared Asian Scallops. The best thing about both meals was actually the green beans! The jasmine rice was overcooked and flavorless, the ahi was bland and overpeppered and the sesame-ginger sauce that came with the scallops was watery.

Their Rockslide Brownie was the highlight of our meal...the brownie was served warm with just a little caramel drizzled over the top, the vanilla bean gelato was a perfect accompaniment and so were the fresh raspberries. This dessert was spectacular!

I couldn't quite give them 3 stars because they are overpriced for the quality of food they serve, but their green beans, dessert and service were excellent.
