CDMA Eng likes this place. It’s not really American-Italian. It’s Italian. You’ll like it. http://cafetiramisu.com/
The soup in sf sourdogh bowls is pretty nice. That fresh sourdough bread is awesome – something they probably don’t have in HK.
Fresh whole crab that you crack yourself is always fun, too.
Check out the web site for TV shows called “THe Best Thing I ever Ate.” I’m sure they’ll have lots of suggestions for good stops on a progressive dinner.
Also, somebody made a web site that maps all the places from “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.” which is chock-full of interesting eateries.
