If you haven’t already tried it, I highly recommend San Francisco’s Dine About Town. It’s this amazing concept where restaurants around the city design set menus at a fixed (and reasonable) price, enticing us in with their deliciousness, thereby building addictions we can’t afford. Literally. Well maybe it’s not that extreme, but you get the idea…anyway…

Last Thursday was my first experience and the girls, Danny and I got to taste San Francisco’s hidden treasure: Forbes Island.

As a result, this now ranks one of my favorite to do’s in San Francisco for the following reasons:
1. Once home to Forbes Thor Kiddoo, an architect from Sausalito, this houseboat has now been transformed to a public restaurant and party island, featuring a sandy beach, lighthouse, restaurant, bar and Pirate theme!

2. It is located at Pier 39 approximately 150ft from the sea lions, what few are left.
3. Forbes Thor Kiddoo, himself, drives you in a pontoon boat from Pier 39 to his very own island. (P.S. He’s like 70!)

4. The bathrooms are bedrooms! Yes, you heard me. Fully equipped with a bed, fireplace, shower, piano and nautical theme.
5. And most importantly, the entire island can be rented out for a private party. Fleet week on the water? Yes please.

I highly recommend you check this place out…Oh and a couple of you may be receiving postcards…no postage when you send them from Forbes Island!
