I was at Greens on Sunday night - very good, but not great. If I want great I go to Zuni Cafe, Boulevard, Farallon, or Jardiniere. But they certainly charge you for it. There are two new restaurants going in on the bayside of the Embarcadero across from the Gap headquarters as mentioned in par8thed's post. They are certainly situated to have great views.
I wouldn't eat at the Wharf if you paid me, but I understand the draw for the tourist crowd. I've always wondered why we don't have at least one restaurant somewhere near the Golden Gate Bridge with a great view ambience and decent food.
The Ramp is a hoot - very much an only in San Francisco kind of place.
