For his update this week, Mr. Bauer revisted fourteen-year-old Florio Bar & Cafe (1915 Fillmore Street) which he says is pretty much like it was when he last reviewed it in 2006, but a little worse for wear. He returned, he said, because “it feels good simply to be there” and the restaurant “continue[s] to stay fresh in [his] memory despite the fact that there is better service and food at other places.” He says they’re “a little too much on autopilot” these days, food-wise, with everything under-seasoned and pretty much no standout dishes, though the service is still solid. All told: holding firm at two and a half stars. [Chron]
