Yes, I agree, if you stay on the beaten path. Reason is, as I alluded to earlier, is that rents are so high that restauranteurs have to hedge their bets and do whatever is more likely to be successful.
If you open a restaurant in the Fidi or Soma, it'll probably be a trendy fusion place with an Asian twist (southeast asian, lemongrass, et al. seems to be a trend these days) that charges 12 bucks for appetizers.
Venturing out to the Richmond or Sunset, you get great Chinese food, but you have to know where to go. Going to Hunter's Point, you get a couple good soul food restaurants. Go to the Tenderloin, and you get good Vietnamese food.
Where did you go eat in the city, and who took you around?
