Julius' Castle in Telegraph Hill is a historic old house-turned-elegant fine dining restaurant, that retains most of its original decor and architecture.
It's a little pricey, special occasion kind of place, but the wine selection is formidable, and the food is top-notch (the Ahi Tuna and Wild Rice Rissoto were both great and the Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brûle and the Pear Charlotte desserts are to die for)
Best of all, many of the restaurants sweet little tables are situated in front of bay windows offering stunning views of Telegraph Hill and the surrounding area....and since the dining room is on the top floor, you have a great vantage point.
