In particular, [[Outerlands]], which opened in early 2009, looks like a great place for healthy and delicious soups, salads, and desserts, with a casual and cool ambiance.
[[Outerlands]], which opened in early 2009, looks like a great place for healthy and delicious soups, salads, and desserts, with a casual and cool ambiance. The food, however, didn't meet our expectations and was slightly overpriced. It's okay if you want something healthy and warm ambiance, but it's not worth a special trip.
 
[[Patricia Unterman]] recommends [[The Pizza Place]] for homey, family-style pizza.

Our home and the most beautiful place in the world.

Neighborhoods

Western Neighborhoods Project. Includes the Richmond, the Sunset, and West Portal.

Inner Richmond

More Patricia Unterman recommendations:

Outer Sunset

Oceanside is the old name for the Outer Sunset area near the ocean. There's a great three block stretch on Judah west of 41st Ave with funky cafes and great organic market called Other Avenues.

Outerlands, which opened in early 2009, looks like a great place for healthy and delicious soups, salads, and desserts, with a casual and cool ambiance. The food, however, didn't meet our expectations and was slightly overpriced. It's okay if you want something healthy and warm ambiance, but it's not worth a special trip.

Patricia Unterman recommends The Pizza Place for homey, family-style pizza.
