Park Chow

Even though their food is a bit hit-or-miss, Park Chow is still one of my favorite places to chow down by the park. They serve wholesome comfort-foody type stuff. It's cute and cozy, with a fireplace on each of the two floors and heat lamps everywhere. They welcome dogs on the heated patio, and are always ready with a water bowl and big ol' jar of treats!

I went to Park Chow with my family (including Doggy). We loved their service. Even though it was the usual SF weather, fog and all, we sat out on the patio under the heat lamps and they gave Doggy a fresh bowl of water. She mingled with a few other dogs out there and it was a nice Sunday afternoon! It's a great place to relax with the family (dogs included), and have a yummy meal!

Park Chow is a very cute and quaint cafe located at the foot of Golden Gate Park. As you walk in through the dog friendly patio, you're greeted by the comforting glow of a fireplace and warm smiles. This morning, my friend and I decided to enjoy our meals upstairs and away from the hubbub, but still within the soothing flicker of the second fire.

My selection for the day was the fusilli pasta with chicken and sausage in a tomato cream sauce. While the food was excellent and was seasoned perfectly, the servers did manage to mistake my order twice, first bringing the wrong dish and then the wrong portion size. However, the kind servers were quick to offer a second portion of the fusilli while only charging for a single smaller portion.

They may have botched my order twice, but this was not enough to tarnish the otherwise flawless package and fantastic food here. I would definitely encourage hungry California Academy of Sciences visitors to enjoy a meal here.
