Rudar Club
Hidden gem of a Croatian restaurant. The doorway looks intimidating (solid and you can't see in) but head on inside and you'll find a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is downstairs (upstairs is a bar area).
To start we got the istrain bean and barley soup with sausage. It was really delicious, especially the smokey, garlicy sausage.
Then for mains we got the bowtie pasta and the gnocci. All the pastas are handmade in house and you can tell, they have a great chewy texture. We got them with the veal sauce, which was ok and had a lot of veal, but wasn't quite as good as the pasta. Next time I'd try a different sauce. Also got swiss chard and potato on the side, which had a bit of a potato salad vibe to it.
Crepes for dessert were cheap and tasty, with sugar and lemon or Nutella.
Service was very friendly and we're happy to guide us unfamiliar with the cuisine through the menu.

Ecuadorian Food
Delicious food. We got the Bandera, which is a selection of two stews (goat stew and braised pork), ceviche, salad, rice, & hominy. Everything was absolutely delicious, particularly the pork which was melt in the mouth tender with amazingly crunchy & delicious skin. We split this between two and it was plenty of food. Add friendly service and it's five stars.
Esmeralda Slide
Fun slide. It's not that long, but there are two side by side so you can race a friend. There's also cardboard in a bucket at the top so you can make sure you go fast. With the cardboard you get up a lot of speed!
Also nice views out towards twin peaks, particularly around sunset.

Red Cafe
Good spot for tasty, filling breakfasts. I LOVED the oatmeal pancakes and liked the corned beef hash (though it's not quite as exciting as it looks). The eggs, sausage, and toast were nice but standard. Portions were very large - prepare for leftovers unless you're very hungry.
Service was efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was nice - lots of locals coming in and chatting, giving it a real neighborhood feel. Décor was simple but nice, and interior was breezy and pleasant.
Good spot for breakfast in the mission.
