Two Stars for Ironside; Olea a Hidden Gem

• Michael Bauer gives two stars to “grown-up frat bar” Ironside, where burgers and bar snacks pass muster, but he reserves harsh words for the pizza. “If Round Table was the main competition, Ironside would win hands down, but pizza has gotten so good that this version falls short.” [SF Chronicle]

• Patricia Unterman got by the “partially subterranean” Olea, where chef Gabriel Amaya does a small, changing, market-driven menu. “This is the way Alice Waters taught us to shop, cook and eat.” [SF Examiner]
