best SFO airport hotel restaurant

Going to be spending an overnight in SFO, staying close to the airport (real early flight). Which hotel in that area has the best restaurant? Not getting too picky on price, not limiting myself to a hotel chain, but definitely want to stick to a hotel near the airport that has a shuttle.

Marriott for insane views of arriving/departing flights, Starbucks in lobby, and 5 minutes walk from In'n'Out.

I like staying at the Airport Hyatt Regency, and for dinner walking across the street to Max's Restaurant and Bar (the Reuben is quite decent):

Also very solid advice, on the hotel and the Reuben. Delicious.

Another vote for the Hyatt, though I agree the view from the Marriott is much nicer.

If I actually had enoughtime to plane watch, that would be it. But I plan on spending so little time awake that I would miss anything interesting anyways.

I have heard a lot about Max's - I will have to check that out!

You could even save yourself the walk from the Hyatt, and simply stay in the Holiday Inn Express, right next door to Max's! (Actually, that Max's location is the hotel's onsite restaurant.)

Kincaid's would be another good dining possibility. It's a short walk from the SFO Hilton (recently reflagged from the SFO Sheraton) and several other hotels.

We ate at Hangars at the SFO Marriott on Friday night and it was very good. The steaks are advertised as prime and I would say they definitely are. The view is a nice bonus.
