It is amazing how many exciting things there are to do, see, and eat in a city that is 7 x 7 miles.  Undoubtedly, there are just too many places to ramble in San Francisco.  On this trip, we made our latest attempt to narrow it down to just a few places.  But, we will back…

We ducked into Cafe Prague in the financial district for a quick drink. 

Traveling makes one very thirsty, no doubt.  We chose a nice Czech lager called Staropramen that had a slightly sweet aftertaste.  A perfect prelude to dinner.

Dinner was spectacular.  I have been waiting a long time to try Greek food at Kokkari in the financial district and we finally did it. I was tempted to order all of their appetizers in lieu of a main dish, but I opted not to go that route.  That will be for the next trip there.

It was difficult, but we narrowed it down to saghanaki (pan-fried Kefalotiri cheese deliciousness) and the kalamari that was stuffed with feta for our mezethes.

After the cheese was grilled, we gave the lemon a healthy squeeze over the cheese.  We then quickly reached for the bread!

For our main courses we dined on the lemon-oregano chicken roasted with winter root vegetables and the souvlaki (spiced lamb skewer) with tzatziki on the side.  A few words about roasted items:I love them.  The caramelized outside of the veggies was perfect and gave the root veggies an extra layer of flavor.  I also love how the restaurant wrapped the lemon half in cheese cloth so when the lemon is squeezed all you get is the juice.
