What are the best restaurants in Mission District for a potential waitress?

Mission District especially on Valencia will have some places that need waitresses. I would also try some of the places in surrounding neighborhoods like Noe and up by Cole Valley and especially up in and around the Financial District/Nob Hill/Russian Hill--upper crust type restaurants catering to business types and tourists who probably tip better. Really there is no shortage of restaurants in the eastern half of SF--lots of tourists and commercial activity and people who think that $3000/month is not an outrageous price for a 1 bedroom.

Which is a long way around to saying don't just limit yourself to the Mission unless you think you will thrive particularly well in a hipster type vibe. Good luck in the job hunt!
