Modern Takes on Seafood Can’t Beat The Classics
By Gloria Tai (Oct 10, 2008)
Seafood has been a quiet but growing trend of late. To name just a few variations on this theme, there is the upscale new Waterbar on the Embarcadero, the shack-style Woodhouse Fish Company (soon to open its second location on Fillmore) and Fish (in Sausalito), the sustainably-focused Fish and Farm (in the Theater District), raw takes at Bar Crudo (soon to move to the Divisadero corridor), and the newly opened Nettie's Crab Shack (in the old Palmetto spot on Union). More

The Swankier Sister of the Potrero Hill original
By Michelle Chan (Oct 3, 2008)
Opened in Spring 2008 by the team that brought us Plouf and Chez Maman, Chez Papa Resto is the swankier version of the original Chez Papa Bistrot in Potrero Hill. Located in the newly-renovated Mint Plaza, the resto's large outdoor patio injects some life to what was formerly a sketchy alleyway, and its flavorful burgers (of Chez Maman pedigree) have downtown office workers declaring it their favorite new lunch spot. More

Where Dinner Becomes the Show
By Sarah Sung (Sep 26, 2008)
Upon entering Elizabeth Falkner’s new theater-scale SOMA address, you feel as much "on stage" as the local celeb chef/owner herself, with her easily recognizable platinum buzz cut. Named after the prominent American film auteur Orson Welles, Orson has been luring adventurous diners since its February 2008 opening, featuring an avant-garde menu full of boundary-pushing recipes -- from peppery chocolate pizza to maple-bacon ice cream. More

Hayes Valley Wins a Casual-Chic Sushi Counter
By Gloria Tai (Sep 19, 2008)
Hot trend of late: the casual, Japanese bar food scene. (Think O Izakaya and Sebo.) While the sushi offerings in these "Japanese tapas" bars are of the familiar, Americanized kind -- with ingredient flair and additions that seem to have no business in sushi -- the feel is Tokyo intimate. Domo joins the club, offering a chic, casual, and reasonably priced option for a quick sushi fix in Hayes Valley, just around the corner from sushi purist zone Sebo. More

Jazzing Up the Fillmore
By Sarah Sung (Sep 12, 2008)
This massive, 28,000 square-foot, multi-story restaurant/bar/jazz club -- the West Bay sister to the original Yoshi's in Oakland's Jack London Square -- debuted in November 2007 to huge hype, resulting in a mix of rave and blah reviews for its upscale Japanese menu. Having now established itself as a frontrunner among the city’s dinner-and-a-show offerings, Yoshi's has settled in as a defining force within the blossoming Fillmore Jazz District. More

La Folie Chef Crosses the Road
By Amy Sherman (Aug 29, 2008)
On Polk Street between Union and Broadway, there are over a dozen places to get a bite. In three short blocks, you can take your pick from French, Italian, Japanese Mexican, Pizza, seafood, Thai, or Vietnamese food, but for solid Cal-American fare, casual and comfortable Rex Café is a standby. More

Less hippie, more hip
By Michelle Chan (Aug 22, 2008)
After months of renovations, Magnolia, the 10-year old pub and brewery in the Upper Haight, re-opened in summer 2008 with a dramatic facelift and brand-new menu. The new Magnolia is vintage hip, with antique-looking fixtures, a communal table, a reclaimed wood bar, and even faux water stains. More

Meat Me in Noe Valley
By Daniel Goldstein (Aug 15, 2008)
Rustic California-Italian food, prepared with thrift and skill, makes Noe Valley's Incanto one of the most appealing restaurants in the city. To most of its patrons, Incanto is simply a thoroughly appealing neighborhood restaurant. But to those who closely follow the food media, the place buzzes. More

Oh-so-fine Cocktails Light up Late Night Mission Spot
By Gloria Tai (Aug 8, 2008)
Beretta’s Italian inspired fare is good; its delicately crafted, lip-smacking cocktails are even better. Chef/owner Ruggero Gadaldi’s new Mission pizzeria/bar (in the former Last Supper Club space) is a departure not only in locale, but also in style and location from his other two neighborhood spots, Antica Trattoria and Pesce -- both on Russian Hill. More

Locally Sourced and Local-Loving Bites in the Tenderloin
By Chrissy Loader (Aug 1, 2008)
Tucked away in the Mark Twain Hotel near the theater district, and a block from Powell BART, the small but elegant, Fish and Farm Restaurant is easy to miss. Once we located this buzz restaurant, we found its cheeky nautical-themed wall hangings, coffee shop booths, tasteful light blue colors and candle-lit tables inviting. Its menu, laden with fresh local seafood and seasonal produce sourced from within one hundred miles of San Francisco, culls a number of Americana classics meant to whet a diner’s appetite. More
