El Techo de Lolinda (San Francisco, CA)

Having previously gone to this place for evening cocktails, I decided to try their brunch and see how things look like during the day.  It turned out to be a good choice: the food was great, and the views were still spectacular.

Chorizo Scramble (Scrambled Eggs, Roasted Vegetables, Chorizo, Avocado, Potatoes, Chipotle, Brioche)
