It would really help to know what kind of food you like and what you don't. Also, if you are coming from an area (like the Chesapeake Bay) that is known for seafood, I might not bother recommending places like Ame or Anchor and Hope. Price range would help as well -- if you want to stay under $100 a person, I won't recommend Coi, Fifth Floor, or Aqua (all exceptional restaurants, but a bit pricey).

One of the best around Union Square for any price is Canteen. It only seats 20 so you have to have reservations; you have your choice of the 6:00, 7:30, or 9:00 seating.

And if you don't want to have to take a cab outside of the neighborhood you are in, I won't recommend Aziza, my favorite restaurant in the city.

Give us more guidance, please!

American, price not an issue - I would say Boulevard.

Yeah - Boulevard is the place that tourists go to be impressed with atmosphere, great service, and passable food. I think the food is very mediocre, but I know myself to be in a minority regarding Boulevard. Perhaps it is because it hasn't held up for me on multiple visits.

But it is more along the lines of a 3-star -- not 1 or 2.

In the 1- and 2-star range, I would recommend Lulu.

the house restaurant in North Beach is wonderful. Asian fusion. The best pork chop I can remember eating. When they can get black cod they have it as a special. It melts in your mouth. It is a must order when it is available. It may be hard to get reservations though. Ask about walk-ins, or you might be able to get an off hour reservation.
