The Best
I have lived in San Francisco for almost six years, but I was introduced to Delancy Street before that time. In fact, I hosted my daughter's wedding reception at DS a month before I moved here. The reception was small and elegant. The food was great, the ambiance hard to beat, the service absolutely spectacular.

My sister-in-law and I have a monthly lunch date at DS, and it is also the place our family inevitable chooses for birthdays and special occasions. I live in the Marina, don't own a car, but I'm willing to travel by cab to enjoy this super restaurant.    [31 May 2003 02:09:37]

Special Food Served By Special People
Delancey Street Foundation, known for more than two decades as the foremost self-supported rehab for drug addicts and alcoholics, opened this restaurant in 1991 as a training school and financial resource.

The food, prepared and served by residents of the facility, is home-cooked and served in large portions. The waitstaff is known for its hospitality and honesty, and if you ask any of them, they will happily tell you their "story."

The menu is chock-full of special touches, including an extra side serving of hot fudge sauce with the opulent hot fudge sundae, as the founder of Delancey Street, Mimi Silbert, felt that "they never put enough sauce on sundaes."

The spit-roasted rosemary chicken is the best San Francisco has to offer, and I have yet to find a dish that wasn't 100% satisfying.    [01 Mar 2000 03:30:09]
