Bela Vista's interior look is very much Barcelona modern: lots of yellowish stone and tile, trimmed with chrome and stainless steel. The tone is at once sleek and warm, and its Catalan quality is not incidental, for the food is also Barcelona modern: broadly Iberian, with some California touches (such as petrale sole) added for local color. Bella Vista might not quite be the resurrection of Lorca, which lived and died too soon just a few blocks away, but for those of us who mourned the loss of that excellent Spanish restaurant, Bella Vista's arrival is auspiciously timed. - sfbg.com
