Steingold Station on Francisco was open for the first time in weeks today. Didn't get a chance to inspect the menu (which is now on one large chalkboard rather than a grouping of small placards) in any detail thanks to my 4 year old, but we did grab a plain bagel to eat at home, and it was pretty good. A little softer than I remember, but still satisfyingly chewy.

According to a Facebook post, they got a liquor license!

This is just to say I enjoyed my one (and still only) visit to Steingold's to meet a couple of friends on a Saturday morning a couple of months ago. And I was pleasantly surprised in one respect, because the impression I got from what I'd heard and read was that it's a great place to carry out from, but not a great place to sit and schmooze. But we thought it was a fine place to do that.

There were some minor kinks in serving our order to the table (items missing, etc.), but when pointed out to the server, these were addressed in a reasonable amount of time. And the lox-and-bagel was pretty great.
