More information on Vans (The)

Nestled in the Belmont hills, this was originally the Japanese Tea House for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Breathtaking views of the bay, comfortable booths and a cozy ambience characterize this eatery. There is also a football card which entitles you to a free dinner, if the eight pro teams you pick for the weekend win. Try the onion soup au gratin, it deserves a special mention, as does the rich chocolate mousse.Takeaway available.
