Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Downtown / Mill District

We did the Valentines Day Northern Starlight Express. So much fun. Loved every minute of it.

We made reservations on Valentine's Day and selected a prix fixe option. Being vegetarian, this is a relatively new favorite. Our server, Thomas, was very attentive and made sure what we ordered was indeed vegetarian. The first delivered item was not. That was quickly corrected. Overall, the Stray Dog is definitely worth the drive.

Greeted warmly upon entering and promptly seated (we did have a reservation). The ambiance was lovely and perfect for a romantic evening. Our server was kind, kept our glasses full, and made sure we had clean utensils for each course.

We enjoyed a pre-Valentine's dinner with amazing service from Princis, fabulous recommendations to try the TaterTot pizza special (really good), the pan-seared sea scallops (plentiful and tasty), the chicken tortilla soup (hot and yummy), and kept our five-year-old in check with calamari, brie cheese curds, pepperoni pizza and green beans (he is an eating machine). In the end, it was a fun night out with consistent food choices, impeccable service, and a lively atmosphere.

The Good Day Cafe remains one of my favorite meetup spots - whether for a business meeting or simply for delicious breakfast food! Service always comes with a smile - and a ready pot of fresh coffee! I had their chicken sausage today - for the first time ever - along with scrambled eggs. I will order that again, for sure! Thank you, "GDC," and I will undoubtedly return soon.
