Hello,
Thanks for the report. When I type RH Marin restaurant into Google Maps, it redirects me to this single place
https://www.google.com/maps/place/RH+Rooftop+Restaurant+Marin/@37.9276136,-122.5087223,13.95z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x80859bf2f6cb9a07:0x70009c71ade4bc12!8m2!3d37.929462!4d-122.5134903!16s%2Fg%2F11fwv934jr?entry=ttu
which is not inside San Francisco proper.
That is also what happens in the scraper and the scraper skips it because it does not fit in the map polygon. Do you know any other places it should match?

I see. But any reason the crawler is like running forever? The log indicates that the crawler just keep checking the same place again and again
It is not ideal but it doesn't have a definitive solution. Depending on the location, Google can decide to redirect you to a single place or not. So it still makes sense to check other locations which might not redirect (we don't know upfront). There is more general optimization of the search process coming soon so that would help with this as well.
