Average mall with an emphasis on midrange gift shops. The setting, however, is spectacular.

Two words: TOURIST TRAP.

I liked Ghiradelli Square. Yes, it's full of tourist shops which, like tourist shops all over the world, are probably overpriced. At the same time, it's a fantastic use of old warehouse space in a beautiful location.

If you want to take a date somewhere, be sure to take her to Ghirardelli. If this is a chocolate lover, the Chocolate bar/restaurant on the first floor will satisfy all her cravings. One suggestion is that you take mass transit to the city and Ghirardelli. For more to do, Aquatic Park, The Wharf, and Pier 39 are only a short walk away.

It is a good place especially for newcomers to spend the weekend. You can enjoy the beautiful taste of ice cream and sight filled night. I always ask my brothers to go this place. I don't know why but I never feel bored at this place.

Ghirardelli Square is a horrible place to waste your time. All it is, is a group of overpriced tourist trap stores. If you want to buy anything here, don't bother. You can probably find it somewhere else in San Francisco, or even online, for much cheaper.

Ghirardelli Square is fun, sweet but short lived. For a rainy afternoon it is a place to go for some hot chocolate, possibly something grander like a sundae. The portions are generous, but still pricey. I think it's probably a bit more fun for the kids, since one can view chocolate being swirled while waiting for treats to be made in the cafe.

I feel so bad when people come to SF and visit Ghirardelli Square. It is a waste of time. There is nothing there to see or do. It is a total tourist trap. The stores are horrible and the art galleries are nothing special either. The restaurants are not good. The chocolate can be bought anywhere in the city and you don't have to go to the square to buy that, so there is really no need to go. There isn't any entertainment. There is just so much more to see and do in the Bay area than to waste any time going to Ghirardelli Square.

San Francisco is a beautiful city and Ghirardelli Square is a great highlight. Especially the chocolate factory. Beautiful buildings and with the great food makes it an enjoyable experience. The area itself is kept clean and beautiful. Perfect tourist site.

This get's a good rating simply because Ghirardelli ice cream is delicious. There are plenty of storefronts to look at. Good place for tourists.

If you love chocolate, this is a great place to go. There's not only chocolate treats, there are a lot of good places to eat like Boudin's sourdough place. Also it's close to the park so you can take a walk or what not.

They sell really good chocolate and its a great place to watch fireworks during the 4th of July. The view is good but the problem is parking.

If you want some chocolate, go here. Otherwise, there are so many more interesting (and less tourist-overrun) places to see in San Francisco.
