People who read my blog and make note of my favorite restaurant list have probably noticed: I love places that hail from the past and have stood the test of time, retaining original signage, menu items, decor (although clean and maintained), charm and character. Well, add another spot to my list, The Old Clam House on Bayshore and Oakdale in SF. This corner restaurant opened when Abraham Lincoln became president and the Gold Rush was just getting started. It survived the earthquake and has been an old time watering hole ever since. It has new owners and has been gently refreshed--keeping that original sign and tin ceiling while doing some Italian/American cuisine classics new justice. Pictured are the escargot and the the crab linguine Alfredo. Definitely worth a visit.
