Rusty Ladle — Restaurant in San Francisco

Was walking around and noticed an open air seating option. I needed a break, as I just had a rough couple of days and needed to decompress and journal. I brought my iPad because it was light, and bought a cup of coffee from the coffee shop down the street to gather my thoughts. A worker came up to me and rudely and very loudly told me there were no laptops allowed. I had just sat down and had not noticed the very unnoticeable sign behind a picnic bench maybe twenty feet away from me. Again— hard to see if you’re not exactly paying attention and just trying to sit down to have a cup of coffee. He was not only rude, brought unwanted attention to me as the other patrons turned to look, but also made me feel completely uncomfortable and upset.

Please try to be better, don’t be rude and approach people in a less combative way. Good luck with the soup, I guess

Overall the food was okay, certain dishes disappointed me more than others. The service was okay, they took my order and served me my food within a reasonable time frame. The atmosphere is by far my favorite part of this establishment. The indoor seating gave a cozy, diner feel and the outdoor seating included a beautiful view of the ocean.

I wouldn’t come again for the food as the tomato soup was a bit watery,acidic, and honestly tasted like tomato juice more than tomato soup.

The schmelty was one of the better dishes I tried. It was a bit melty, the chorizo was a bit bland （and hard), and the bread was mildly soft.

La maginifca is a one and done sandwich. It was quite sour and I only tasted the olives. I could not taste the meat and the cheese was lukewarm at best. To be honest it was more of an olive sandwich more than a “maginifca” sandwich.

Overall, I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here again but if I want soup and a view of the ocean I...

I ordered tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich, to go. The Schmelty sandwich was delicious, with oozing melted cheese, and just enough crispy melted cheese that oozed out of the sandwich and into the pan. The tomato soup was thicker than I expected, and the flavor was earthy, hearty, and was improved by adding a small cup of either buttermilk or thinned, spices sour cream. Whatever the little dairy side was, it elevated the already delicious soup. There is inside counter seating, and a large outdoor, street side park let when the weather is nice. It's a limited menu, and I can only imagine the other items on the menu would be as delicious. I met the owner, John, as I was leaving. He was kind and genuine. The Rusty Ladle...
