Kearny Street off Bush in San Francisco is a beautiful looking stretch of no-traffic restaurants with outdoor seating. Walking through there is like you are in a restaurant bazaar as hosts from the different restaurants try to convince you that theirs is your best choice. I have already tried three or four of those restaurants and, despite the ambiance, all are mediocre at best.
The charm of Petrino hostess worked and the combination of Italian and Greek food on the menu made it an easy choice for a group of three. At the end, all three of us skipped the Italian food options and ordered Greek food.
The Homemade Dolmas were on the tasteless side. Plus California grape leaves are always tougher than those from the Mediterranean.
The Adana Kebab was a different option promoted as "beef blended with red peppers, onions, paprika, and fresh herbs". They were alright but had a spiciness to them that comes more from Mexican chili peppers than from anything in the Mediterranean.
