Where to Eat: East Bay and San Francisco

Michael Mina

It’s ambitious to attempt to fit the East Bay and San Francisco dining scenes into a single page, but we’ll give it a try by highlighting a few of our favorites. Suffice it to say that the Bay Area has no shortage of phenomenal dining options, from street food, diners, ethnic eateries, family-style, celebrity chef and Michelin starred restaurants. The biggest challenge is finding the time, budget, and amenable waistline to check it all out.

Be sure to check each restaurant’s website or social pages to confirm its most current hours of operation and services.

Ancora

Seafood

Destination-worthy, sustainable seafood-focused dishes like must-try smoked salmon mousse gougeres and locally-sourced halibut crudo with four seaweeds give way to mussels au poivre studded with foie gras and plankton tagliolini with bottarga and white sturgeon caviar.  The celery Caesar salad adds fun and crunch while low ABV cocktails and a tight wine list enliven even the briniest of dishes.

557 Valencia St, San Francisco; 415.757.0825

Baia

Italian

As of August 22, temporarily closed due to kitchen fire. Planned reopening is September 11. The global plant-based SoCal hospitality brand Matthew Kenney Cuisine planted a flag in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley neighborhood (in the former Jardiniere space) with an Italian comfort food menu (think meatballs, pizza, and lasagna). The redone interior welcomes guests to dine-in just steps from Symphony Hall.

300 Grove St, San Francisco, 415.861.0625

Barrio

Latin American

With Latin American flair, Executive Chef Tim Milojevich prepares foods of the so-called Latin diaspora designed for a local audience. Fresh heirloom blue corn tortillas are a worthy partner with the not-to-be-missed birria but a seafood emphasis means standout fish tacos and ceviche, along with epic bay and bridge views. A full bar focused on agave spirits is from Michael Carlisi.

900 North Point St, San Francisco, 415.741.2000

Beach Chalet

American

Mill Valley’s Lara Graham Truppelli, who also runs the former mill town’s Gravity Tavern, revamped the iconic oceanfront spot, using Covid’s downtime to reimagine everything from the menu to the seating arrangements. Look for classic American fare (Louie salad, Maine lobster roll) and updated options (seared ahi sandwich with kohlrabi kim chee, grilled branzino with garlic and chorizo paella) and those eternal views over the Pacific.

1000 Great Highway, San Francisco 415.386.8439

Benu

Asian

Plan on a formal and sophisticated evening. The compositions on the tasting menu provide a full experience of this restaurant’s unique Asian fusion cuisine. On Sundays, Benu’s kitchen is offering menu previews of San Ho Won, chef Corey Lee’s new Korean fine dining concept launching in late 2021. Order here.

22 Hawthorne St, San Francisco, 415.685.4860

Black Cat

American

Grit meets glam at this jazzy Tenderloin supper club. Executive Chef Tu David Phu and Chef de Cuisine Robert Hurtado have designed a unique menu fusing American and international classics. Saigon bouillabaisse, California curry, and Mayan ceviche tostada are some of the choices, along with timeless cocktails and live music in the downstairs lounge. Happy hour 5:30–7 p.m.

400 Eddy St, San Francisco, 415.358.1999

Boulettes Larder + Boulibar

Mediterranean

Head to the Embarcadero for savory flavors of lamb, feta, and mint or the bittersweetness of barberry, bulgur, and pomegranate salad. By day, have a cozy breakfast or lunch on the patio or by the open kitchen; days and evenings, the wood-oven dining room is also open and can be booked for small private parties. Bay Bridge views punctuate an unmistakably San Francisco setting.

1 Ferry Building, San Francisco, 415.399.1155

The Brew Coop

American

At San Francisco’s first-ever self-pour taproom patrons use provided RFID cards as they select from the 26 beers, ciders and wine that are available — pours cost between 50 to 80 cents per ounce and your choices are added to your card. A robust menu of sharable bar snacks like street tacos, carne asada fries, fried chicken and wings plus seven big-screen televisions make this a prime spot to catch a game.

819 Valencia St, San Francisco

Bun Mee

Vietnamese

A fun and casual lunch spot that puts a flavorful twist on classic Vietnamese in dishes like a Hawker Bowl with eggs and fresh herbs, Hanoi style crispy catfish and pork belly buns. Sit back in this playful space and enjoy the San Francisco vibes.

2015 Fillmore St, San Francisco, 415.800.7696

Camino Alto

Californian

Larkspur resident Josh Copeland’s neighborhood restaurant in Cow Hollow serves a menu free from processed oils, low in dairy and sugar, and entirely gluten-free. We’re loving the blueberry masa waffle in the morning and the sweet potato tacos at lunch. At dinner, charred cauliflower and seared Wagyu New York strip emerge from the wood-burning oven to be paired with a glass of pet nat or tap beer.

1715 Union St, San Francisco; 415.441.2111

Cantina los Mayas

Mexican

A wine bar and restaurant from Mill Valley residents Vincent and Linda Lam serves 45 wines, most by the glass or bottle, sourced exclusively from the Guadalupe Valley of Baja California. Look for dishes like relleno negro, a traditional black turkey stew, pepián de pato, or duck prepared with pumpkin seed sauce, and chile-rubbed filet mignon with mole, to pair with the wines.

431 Balboa Ave, San Francisco; 415.571.8027 

 

Capo’s Chicago

Italian

If you’re craving classic Chicago-style Italian and a venue to match, the endless pizza choices and flavorful pasta and meat selections here will more than satisfy your appetite and take you back in time to the mobster days of the 1920s.

641 Vallejo St, San Francisco, 415.986.8998

Cavaña

Wine bar

Perched atop LUMA Hotel in San Francisco’s Mission Bay, a rooftop restaurant owned and operated by managing partners John Park (Kaiyo, Whitechapel) and Anthony Parks (True Hospitality Group), focuses on the warm vibes of Central and South America and the Caribbean. Cast your eye on the sweeping views of the bay and note the flickering light from the wicker-wrapped lamps before settling into a cozy leather chair. The cocktail menu dives deep into the region’s renowned spirits — rum and tequila are flanked by cachaça, mezcal, raicilla, sotol, and Mexican corn whiskey — while the menu ranges from Venezuela’s arepas and Brazil’s bohlinhos de bacalhau to Ecudaor’s chifles and Peru’s aguachiles. Don’t worry, guacamole and tostadas originate south of the border, too.

100 Channel St, 17th floor, San Francisco; 415.757.1470

Colibri Mexican Bistro

Mexican

After 18 years in Union Square, the restaurant known for its focus on the cuisine of Central Mexico is back, this time in the Presidio.

746 Valencia St, San Francisco, 415.913.7713

Epic Steak

American

An upscale meat lover’s mecca with a sophisticated atmosphere, Epic Steak’s bayside eatery delivers on all fronts. Professional service, choice cuts of prime rib and bittersweet chocolate fudge cake are among the things that keep patrons coming back. An upstairs bar and soaring patio are also happy hour favorites.

369 Embarcadero, San Francisco, 415.369.9955

Estiatorio Ornos, a Michael Mina restaurant

Mediterranean

Seafood with Greek and Egyptian underpinnings is the latest focus for the iconic Financial District space where chef Michael Mina first made his name at Aqua. Named for a beach on the Greek island of Mykonos, the restaurant features a beachy vibe, whole fish preparations and a roaming spread cart. A fish cart with the day’s catch will be helmed by what might be the city’s first ever “fish sommelier.”

252 California St, San Francisco, 415.417.3969

Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine

Thai

First impressions matter and this establishment makes a bold one with a staple item. The rice here is blue. Not artificially dyed, but tinged by butterfly pea flowers, which is a current trending ingredient in Thailand. Topped with a dollop of shaved ice, the Thai iced tea is also as fun to look at as it is to consume. The popular Wagyu beef rolls and fried chicken round out the menu.

710 Florida Street, San Francisco, 415.814.2920

Fort Point Beer Co.

American

The Mission location from the team behind the former Mill Valley Beerworks splits its taps between Fort Point’s pilsners, IPAs and session beers and guest taps like Double Guava Boat from Temescal Brewing, perfect for pairing with a plate of devlied eggs or a pork chop sandwich that a Swiss citizen would swoon over.

742 Valencia St, San Francisco; 415.361.7001

Frances

Californian

San Francisco elegance meets comfort food. The local, seasonal menu complements any trip to the city. Bar is reserved for walk-ins, but reservations are recommended.

3870 17th St, San Francisco, 415.621.3870

Gather

Californian

Nicknamed the “omnivore’s solution,” this gem gets its menu inspiration from local farmers, ranchers and artisan food producers, but executive chef Anthony Lee’s micro-seasonal fare attracts vegans too. Brunch here is a weekend favorite. A new on-site market offers meal kits and staples like coffee and eggs and is available for delivery or pick-up.

2200 Oxford St, Berkeley, 510.809.0400

Hazie’s

Californian

A restaurant in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley from James Beard award-winning chef Joey Altman focuses on California cooking in dishes like maitake tempura with yuzu aioli and a braised brisket sandwich. Try The Hat Trick Cocktail at the bar and local halibut crudo with grapefruit or a pork chop with cheesy grits at one of the tables.

501 Hayes St, San Francisco; 415.678.5156

Hopscotch

Californian

An upscale diner with patio in Oakland serving regional American food with a Japanese influence. Popular items include yonsei oyster with sea urchin, salmon roe and citrus, and the First Base burger with grilled beef tongue. No time to dine in? The takeout menu features an eight-piece bucket of fried chicken.

1915 San Pablo Ave, Oakland, 510.788.6217

Hotel MacRestaurant

American

Filled with old-world charm, this establishment has been serving American classics since 1911. Executive chef Jaime Molina’s seasonal menu features freshly prepared fish and favorites like Chicken Cordon Bleu. Weekly specials including Friday’s half-off bottles of wine keep patrons loyal, as does the live music featured nightly.

50 Washington Ave, Point Richmond, 510.233.0576

Jaranita

Latin American

Living up to its name as a “spontaneous colorful street celebration in Peru” won’t take much covid-free time for a new rotisserie restaurant in San Francisco’s Marina neighborhood to achieve. Sake cocktails, grilled chicken with huacatay sauce, small plates like salchipaps or whole roasted cauliflower, and chocolate cake with dulce de leche are available for heated, covered outdoor dining.

3340 Steiner St, San Francisco, 415.655.9585

Kaiyo Rooftop

Latin American

Peruvian Nikkei, a cuisine that arose from the influence of Japanese immigrants, is the sweet spot at the second location of Kaiyo in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood (the first is in Cow Hollow). Start a meal with a classic pisco sour before jumping into small plates of pork bao buns, green lip mussels on the half shell or beef tataki. It’s all a warmup for the tiraditos, the Peruvian riff on ceviche, or a platter of sushi. The views from the 12th floor roof deck of the San Francisco skyline are second to none.

701 Third St, San Francisco; 415.800.8141

Kin Khao

Thai

From spicy curries to pad kee mao (drunken noodles) and off-the-wall cocktails, the full-flavored Thai here is sure to impress.  Coconut curry enlivens mushroom hor mok terrine while Monterey squid balances chile heat with plenty of seafood-driven umami. Sister restaurant, Nari, in Japantown, is open, too.

55 Cyril Magnin St, San Francisco, 415.362.7456

Loló

Mexican

San Francisco-style Mexican cuisine fuses market-fresh ingredients with traditional dishes. The whole atmosphere, including the outdoor patio, is bright, colorful and festive, a reflection of Loló’s flavor-blasted menu.

974 Valencia St, San Francisco, 415.643.5656

Mägo, Oakland

Californian

Spanish for magician or wizard, mägo (it is pronounced with a long “a”) is chef Mark Liberman’s nickname but it also helps define the hi-lo vibe at his latest restaurant. A dish of barbecued carrots sounds simple but is first cooked in own juice in sous vide, then smoked, then grilled, and finally sautéed in brown butter, involving many hands and many days worth of work in that carrot.  The 12-foot ceiling give the space a light and airy feel, the petite patio is sun-splashed, and the locally made plates give a meal here the elegance it deserves.

3762 Piedmont Ave Oakland,  510.344.7214

Maybeck’s

American

Husband-and-wife duo Jeff Banker and Lori Baker (Baker & Banker) join chef-owner Aaron Toensing in the kitchen for a three-way collaboration featuring dishes like Japanese hamachi crudo with sticky rice and preserved citrus or English pea and ricotta agnolotti.

By night, the space turns into The Table at Merchant Roots, an intimate dinner experience featuring a rotating themed tasting menu.

Mersea

American

Executive chef and co-founder, Parke Ulrich — formerly of Lark Creek Inn, Epic Steak and Waterbar — started this exciting venture on Treasure Island. Mersea, which means “island oasis” in Old English, serves standard American comfort food like burgers, fish and chips and the like with a local-focused Bay Area twist. Also not to be missed are the curated cocktail menu and unbeatable views.

699 Avenue of the Palms, Treasure Island, San Francisco, 714.350.3889

Miller and Lux

American

Bay views and all booth seating upstairs and an intimate bar downstairs are part of a two-level bar and restaurant from chef Tyler Florence. Steak and American classics (lobster thermidor, Dover sole) dominate the menu but the talk of the town is the Caesar salad, cut tableside from potted Romaine and peppered by hand from a giant pepper grinder. A private back door drops you into the Chase Center.

700 Terry A. Francois Blvd, San Francisco; 415.872.6699

Niku Steakhouse

Japanese

This American steakhouse has a distinct Japanese influence and eschews predictable fare, offering a 10-course seasonal tasting menu in addition to an à la carte menu where vegetables get the same kind of attention as meat — kimchi and koji are made on-site. Notables dishes include Japanese wagyu from the Hyogo prefecture, in-house dry-aged domestic beef, porterhouse steak and a bone-in tomahawk steak intended for sharing.

61 Division Street, San Francisco, 415.829.7817

Nopa

Californian

The easy California menu shows off roasted chicken and pork chops, with a bouquet of appetizers to set the mood. Although this San Francisco destination is busy almost every night (a good sign), the wait at the legendary bar is half the fun.

560 Divisadero, San Francisco, 415.864.8643

Occitania

Californian

Oakland is abuzz with news of chef Paul Canales’ freshest offering which homes in on the flavors of southern France with modern riffs on traditional cooking and preservation techniques. Look for Canales’ signature charcuterie alongside raw seafood preparations, escargot, and game birds like duck, squab or quail, plus more familiar fare like steak frites and summer seafood dishes. The Arcsine-designed interiors evoke the colors and energy of the region.

422 24th St, Oakland

Palio

Italian

After an extensive renovation, Palio d’Asti has been reimagined as Palio, and now offers a brand-new dining space, expanded bar and lounge, as well as private dining rooms.

4029 Piedmont Ave, Oakland, 510.450.2541

Presidio Social Club

Owner Ray Tang opened Presidio Social Club with the idea of providing guests the comforts of a club without the dues.

545 Mission St, San Francisco, 415.543.8900

San Ho Won

Korean

In collaboration with chef Corey Lee (three Michelin-starred star Benu, In Situ), head chef Jeong-In Hwang’s restaurant in San Francisco’s Mission District leans into the foods of the duo’s cultural background. A tilt towards home cooking but favoring seasonal ingredients and modern techniques mean classic dishes like bibimbap features seasonal vegetables and jjigae (kimchi stew) served alongside five-year doenjang-seasoned clams. Pair it with a soju cocktail or a glass of Chablis from the European and American-sourced wine list.

2170 Bryant Street, San Francisco; 415.868.4479

Serpentine

American

Owner/chef Tommy Halvorson, formerly of Chez Panisse, Bix, and Gary Danko, puts his own Southern spin on the menu here. Honey fried chicken is a standout for brunch and dinner, as is a reimagined cocktail selection.

Located just across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco’s Presidio, this restaurant has serious ties to Marin. The fruits, vegetables, herbs and olive oil hail from our county thanks in part to the restaurant’s partnership with Skywalker Ranch. Additionally, the 100 craft beer offerings, including 24 draft options, will keep beer lovers more than satisfied. Enjoy them all on the patio, complete with Marin views.

1 Letterman Drive, San Francisco, 415.655.9413

Sorella

Italian

The name, Italian for “sister,” reflects the same traditional Italian focus as the Michelin two-star Acquerello mothership with a tilt towards the contemporary. An Italian 57 cocktail blends brandy and Sicilian blood orange gin with lemon and Prosecco or sample the all-Italian wine and beer menu. Chef de Cuisine Denise St. Onge (Greens, Atelier Crenn) starts the menu with cicchetti like cacio e pepe potato chips before transitioning to antipasti (Parmesan budino with hazelnut and truffle); pasta like bucatini guanciale with kampot pepper and pecorino and mains like striped bass with manila clams, fennel and sofrito.

1760 Polk Street, San Francisco; 415.359.1212

State Bird Provisions

American


From local seafood and seasonal vegetables to savory pancakes, not to mention the California state bird, this uncommon dim sum–style setup has a bit of everything.

1529 Fillmore St, San Francisco, 415.795.1272

Town Hall

American

The exposed brick and warm, unconventional lighting turn Town Hall’s large indoor and outdoor spaces into intimate yet elegant environments. With a more-than-adequate wine list and savory American classics like fried chicken with rosemary crushed marble potatoes, a visit here should be on everyone’s list.

342 Howard St, San Francisco, 415.908.3900

Turntable at Lord Stanley

Californian

Billed as a hub for world-renowned and up-and-coming chefs to collaborate and showcase their cuisines, Lord Stanley, has pivoted to a series of pop-ups. In partnership with Argentinian chef and entrepreneur Narda Lepes, the series began in September with Micaela Najmanovich of Anafe restaurant in Buenos Aires, followed by Mercedes Solis of Cafè San Juan in Chile.

2065 Polk St, San Francisco, 415-518-2624

Ula

Seafood

The undulating waves above the bar, dreamy underwater seascape of jellyfish and sea urchin lamps and deep blue ceiling pin-pointed with stars in the arched back “pool” room of a long-running Union Square seafood restaurant was reincarnated in late 2021 as a Mediterranean restaurant, courtesy of restaurateur Krishan Miglani (Zingari Ristorante). Chef Ryan Simas, who cooked here for Farallon as well as at L.A’s Spago, helms the kitchen where classic seafood dishes (chilled Dungeness crab, Maine lobster agnolotti) plus vegetarian and meatier options retain a fine dining touch and are available all day.

450 Post St, San Francisco; 415.999.4950

West Coast Wine Cheese

Californian

Focused on small production winemakers, the wine menu features a bottle list with over 300 selections, wines by the glass that change weekly as well as California, Oregon and Washington beers on draft and by the bottle. A rotating cheese, charcuterie and small plates menu, served with bread from San Francisco’s Acme Bread, is also offered. The Mill Valley location is permanently closed but free delivery to Marin remains.

2165 Union St, San Francisco, 415.376.9720

Wildseed

Vegan/vegetarian

The plant-based trend put down roots in Cow Hollow where chef Blair Warsham serves up shareable bites of beet poke, Mexican corn cakes and a ceviche of king trumpet mushrooms. Add a “neatball” or pizza to one of the many salads and bowls on the menu to boost your protein intake or simply chill with a freshly juiced cocktail or biodynamic wine at this aspirational eatery.
