Lunch at Sears in San Fran

We bumped into the PCH bouncer again when we were having lunch at Sears across the cable car track from The Beacon Grand … Sandy looking good with tall men in hats.

Sears opened in 1938 serving American-Italian food to the booming San Fran tourist market bought about by the likes of our and other hotels being built around Union Square in the late 1920’s. This is 😎 dudes favourite restaurant for lunch … so good picking Sandy.


Our mission is to hunt down little restaurants that we feel are quintessentially San Francisco style eating and mingling spots. We love meeting people and already are having a ball chatting with so many and getting to know their stories of this amazing city.


We sat at the bar on red padded swivel seat and had the crab croquettes in a rich italian inspired tomato sauce and they were moorish. 


Maybe the best pic we get this time of The Golden Gate Bridge as the days are a bit cool and grey but we still have a few more days yet.


Used to be able to spin for a free meal, oh the good old days, wished that was still a go for the Aussie tourist!


By the time we left the place had cleared after lunch ready for the afternoon crowds.
