a place famous the world over be-
cause of its scenic beauty and its overlooking the Seal
Rocks, where congregate a large herd of sealions dis-
porting much to the edification of the visitors. Appeal-
ing from its romantic surroundings, interesting because
of its history, and attractive through its combination of
dashing waves and beautiful beach extending miles in
one direction, with the rugged entrance to Golden Gate
in the other, with the mysterious Farallones in the dim
distance, the Cliff House may well be classed as one of
the great Bohemian restaurants of San Francisco.
Lovers of the night life know it well for it is the
destination of many an automobile party. During the
day its terraces are filled with visitors from abroad who
make this a part of their itinerary, and here, as they
drink in the wondrous beauty of the scene spread be-
fore them, partake of well prepared and well served
dishes such as inade both the Cliff House and San Fran-
cisco well and favorably known and whose fame is not
bounded by the continent.
But for a most pleasant visit to the Cliff House one
should choose the early morning hours, and go out when
the air is blowing free and fresh from the sea, the waves
cresting wdth amber under the magic touch of the east-
erly sun. Select a table next to one of the western win-
dows and order a breakfast that is served here better
than any place we have tried. This breakfast will con-
sist of broiled breast of young turkey, served with
broiled Virginia ham with a side dish of corn fritters.
When you sit down to this after a brisk ride out through
Golden Gate Park, you have the great sauce, appetite,

SAN FRANCISCO
"Is everybody happy? Oh, it is only nine o'clock and
we've got all night." It was a clear, fresh young voice,
full of the joy of living and came
from a young woman whose care- SOME
free air seemed to say of her exist- ITALIAN
ence as of the night "We've got all RESTAURANTS
life before us." The voice, the health-
ful face and vigorous form, the very live and joyous
expression were all significant of the time and place.
It was Sunday night and the place was Steve Sangui-
netti's, with roysterers in full swing and every table
filled and dozens of patrons waiting along the walls
ready to take each seat as it was emptied. Here were
young men and women just returned from their vari-
ous picnics across the Bay to their one great event of
the week — a Sunday dinner at Sanguinetti's.
