Home Plate. Back in the Marina, at the corner of Pierce & Lombard is "Home Plate". A very homey, even run down place, it had favorable reviews, and the breakfast was good. The decor was awful, it needed a paint job, and the walls were decorated with faded photos of baseball players/scenes. Dad enjoyed the banana-walnut pancakes, while I ventured into one of the specialties Savory Fresh Corn Cakes with bell peppers and salsa (and chili powder). It was a nice find, and the hot raisin scones they serve with fresh strawberry jam nearly when you sit down were very good as well. The waitstaff were also quite friendly. And they apologized profusely for charging $153.55 on the credit card rather than $15.35 on the first try....
