This weekend my Dad was in town, so he took my sister and I to brunch at the Cliff House. I have lived in San Francisco for about 7 months but I had yet to visit this part of town. Let me just say, amazing! The views from both inside and outside the Cliff House were stunning and what a background to enjoy a nice meal over. And who knew San Francisco had an old bathhouse, Sutro Baths? Now that is cool!
Sunday was a perfect weather day and when we got to the Cliff House we had to wait a bit for a table but it was not unexpected with no reservation. The highlight of the meal were the infamous popovers. Let me just give you some background into the McCormick family. We love bread and butter. I am not ashamed to say I am a carbo kid! If I had to live off bread and butter the rest of my life I think I would be one happy camper. So suffice it to say we were pumped for those little bread beauties to come to the table. To best describe a popover I took a look at the SF Weekly who awarded the Cliff House with the Best Popovers in 2009 and they state "Popovers are eggy, light, and almost hollow soufflelike rolls, with a fragile and glossy crust, and best served fresh." Are you salivating yet? They definitely lived up to their potential along with the other colorful food and even more stunning views.
So if you want to treat yourself to an extra special Sunday why not go to the Cliff House? You get a taste of old San Francisco with the Sutro Bath ruins and the history behind the Cliff House. Most importantly you can really take in the beauty of San Francisco while enjoying some great food too!
