Default Re: San Francisco Bay Area: Your favorite things to do or places to go

I've only been there a couple of times on business, but two great old-school eating places are Tadich Grill and the Tonga Room. Tadich has good steak and seafood and a huge oval bar. Tonga Room is a throwback but somewhat upscale Polynesian tiki place (think Trader Vic's) with good tropical cocktails and a pool in the middle of the room with "storms" (rain + thunder) every 15 minutes or so. The last time I was there, they had a corny 70's combo playing on a boat in the middle of the pool.
