San Francisco, CA
Harry currently ranks 10 brunch spots in San Francisco, scoring 87–94 on the Harry Score. 2 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$$$.
Harry is professionally sceptical of brunch. The waiting list is too long, the Bloody Marys are too expensive, and the eggs Benedict are too often on a muffin from a bag. What survives — when it works — is one of the great informal meals. He scores harder here because with stakes this low, getting it wrong is unforgivable.
