I live in Cincinnati so while it was 66 yesterday evening its 100% humidity so its shorts weather. My girl is planning some of the trip but I get full veto power. Well see what we get into. I dont find yelp very helpful maybe cause i dont live in a big tech city.

SF is a great city for a food lover. Check yelp for the little hole-in-the-wall places that the locals love. As for bigger restaurants, I recommend at least one trip to The Stinking Rose.

Honestly, try to stay away from the tourist traps at the Embarcadero, they're always covered in white people from Nebraska and all their damn annoying children. It's really easy to get around without a car, in fact when you have a car you end up walking more than without once since there's never any parking anywhere.
