This place is crazy convenient, and has a nice country ambience since it is next to a golf course. Drive up Arguello Street as if you are going in to the Presidio and take a quick left and you are there. Look for the tiny sign near the road in front. There is ample free parking, which in San Francisco is worth its weight in gold (or at least as much as a tip) when you are touring around trying to get the sights seen.We had just navigated two huge crowded incredible art shows at the De Young Museum when we tried the De Young Cafe, where we have eaten before. It was a wet day, and the only seating option was being packed into a plasticked sealed off area on the patio, so we took one look and headed for the hills. Or in this case, the Presido Cafe. It does have a nice view, being located on a golf course. It is open to everyone, and has a fairly diverse menu for a cafe. Another bonus is that it is not crowded, but does seem to have a group of older people who enjoy hanging out and eating and socializing there. We got seated right away, my honey opted for a burger, and I chose the interesting Wild Salmon, apple, candied pecan and cranberry salad with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. It took a minute to get the orders together, but they proved hearty and appetizing. It is kind of a bare bones place, but does have a cozy fireplace and nice green view over the golf course. It was a relaxing and fun break, and a reprieve from our hectic culture tour!
