969 Hyde St./Pine St., (415) 474-5985. B-L-D daily, SunBr; $$. Reservations suggested for dinner.
After stepping inside this unassuming corner spot, diners can choose from seating at a high bar with a view of the open kitchen, at tables lining huge windows looking out to the street, or in a cozy separate dining room downstairs in the back where walls are hung with art depicting local scenes. American comfort food dominates the mostly housemade menu items at the Nob Hill Grille. Favorites include a large and colorful beet salad, spectacular macaroni and cheese, and baby back ribs in a chipotle barbecue sauce (they are more like short ribs, in that they are so tender the meat falls right off the bones)—all of which I can personally vouch for. Items spied on other tables that I’d like to try include spinach and artichoke dip with freshly made parmesan and chipotle tortilla chips, Bolognese penne pasta, a burger stuffed with portobello mushroom and brie, sweet potato fries, and burrata mozzarella with heirloom tomatoes--but skip the disappointing chicken pot pie. Do save room for dessert: a cupcake (choose from hazelnut, poppy seed, and peanut butter and jelly), a chocolate gateau with a gooey center, brioche cinnamon bread pudding.
