I don't remember which Hampton Inn it is but there's a Chinese food place next to it. Decent food but don't use a credit card or you will get Hooked On Phonics English/Chinese sent to your house.

The Stinking Rose, if you are a fan of garlic. House of Prime Rib, if you are a fan of a good cut of meat. Both places need reservations. I might be able to snag you some bay cruise tickets if you want, it's only a 60min trip.

For hole-in-the wall places, I'd recommend King of Thai near Union Square. It's supposedly very authentic, and I had some great noodle soup there. It is less than one mile from the Convention CEnter.
Another great hole-in-the-wall place for Indian is Vic's Chaat Corner, but that's all the way out in Berkeley. I don't know if you are into gastropubs but I would recommend The Monk's Kettle for good beer and food. It's about 2-3 miles from the Convention Center. |

For a memorable meal I sugget The Stinking Rose
Haven't been there since they went trendy (last time I went was in the early 2000's), but I suggest the 40 clove chicken followed by the garlic ice cream for dessert. A unique experience, to say the least. |

Quoted: Tadich Grill for the Cioppino. ^^^ This guy knows San Francisco. The Tadich Grill is located in the financial district, which isn't exactly a prime walk-by location for tourists. Is you want great seafood, where locals would go, this is your spot. (The oldest restaurant in California by the way.)  |

Tomasso's on Kearney between Broadway & Pacific for pizza (real Italian).
Firenze (Florence) by Night on Stockton between Green & Valljeo for Italian food (it's the other real Italian restaurant. The rest have Brazilian chefs). Liguria Bakery (on Stockton and Filbert). Best foccacia bread in SF. Buy a slice and have them cut it for fifteen cents extra. Makes a good lunch. You can carry it to Alcatraz or take it up to Coit Tower to eat it. |

I'm a garlic lover, I eat enough garlic that the smell emanating from my pores can kill vampires if they come 25 feet from me. If you like garlic, check out The Stinking Rose
You also can't go wrong with any Asian or Mexican joint, California has the best of those kinds of food in the country, hands down. One of the only consolations for living here. |

I was there last year, can't remember the name of the place but it was a little shop down on pier 39. Crab cake on sour dough. It was freaking awesome!
ETA: One night I wondered around from the hotel looking for a place to eat and came upon Les Joulins Jazz Bistro. It was pretty good, nothing spectacular I guess, but a good Jazz band playing and I don't even like jazz. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. |

Chow's on church and market is a great little place, ditto for Cafe Claude on Russian hill.
Hell, in SF you'll never be more than 100 feet from good food, so you could pretty much pick any place at random and not be disappointed. |

OP, if you really want some of the best shit, you have to stay out of the tourist areas (The piers, the warf, etc). Head on down to the Mission, and check out this place:
Pancho Villa Taqueria. I used to eat here for lunch all the time, when I worked for the City. This is probably the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. How about a Cuban spot? Check out Cha Cha Cha on Mission. Both the Paella and Bistek Encebollado are...FUCKING AWESOME. I can suggest more, if you want. I had a Tai spot, a Brazilian spot, and a Greek spot. 'Also, the House of Prime Rib on Van Ness lives up to it's name. I've never had better (fuck Mortons, and fuck Ruth's Chris). |

King of Thai is a chain but that Powell/Mason St location food sucks. The waitresses are fine to look at. Awesome food, love their lemon beer. Monk's Kettle is supposed to be good but can get really packed. Quoted:
Tadich Grill for the Cioppino. Their cioppino is to die for. I could eat their garlic bread all day long. Quoted:
