Anchor & Hope				Write a Review
83 Minna (at Second St.)	American, New American, Seafood	$$$, $$$$	South of Market
This casual but chic fish house from the Rosenthal brothers (chefs Steve and Mitchell) and their partner, Doug Washington, joins their other downtown favorites, Town Hall and Salt House. The setting, a renovated turn-of-the-19th-century warehouse, has exposed brick, painted wood floors, and a... More >>

Bar Jules				Write a Review
609 Hayes (at Laguna)	Breakfast, Brunch, California, Greek, New American	$$, $$$	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin
A charming small restaurant in Hayes Valley that changes its entire menu virtually every day (check the blackboard on the Web site to find out what’s cooking), in response to what’s fresh and local and the whim of owner-chef Jessica Boncutter. The menu is tightly focused: usually... More >>

Chenery Park				Write a Review
683 Chenery (at Diamond)	American, New American	$$$	Twin Peaks/ Glen Park
One of San Francisco's dining gems (semihidden in its cozy neighborhood), Chenery Park manages to be at once sophisticated and homey, in both its art-lined trilevel setting and its menu. Its cuisine features classic American dishes and eclectic New American, melting-pot creations. The... More >>

Farallon				Write a Review
450 Post (at Powell)	New American, Seafood	$$$$	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin
The years have been kind to Farallon, whose over-the-top under-the-sea décor, fresh and wacky in 1997, now feels like a classic. The vaulted ceilings and huge sea-urchin light fixtures are almost worth the (hefty) price of admission alone. Chef/owner Mark Franz calls his seafood-heavy... More >>

350 Harbor (at Bridgeway)	American, New American, Seafood	$$, $$$	Sausalito
This unusual place, one of the few recommendable eateries in Sausalito, offers somewhat pricy but generally huge portions of well-cooked organic fish specialties, with the lure of a great seaside location (a little outside the touristy part of town). You line up, cash in hand, and order at a... More >>

Fish & Farm				Write a Review
339 Taylor	California, New American	$$$, $$$$	Union Square/ Financial District
The of-the-moment gimmick at this chic, sophisticated small restaurant (in the Mark Twain Hotel) is that almost all its ingredients are sourced within a hundred miles of its front door. Luckily its front door is near central California, and our superb local ingredients are handily turned into... More >>

Gary Danko				Write a Review
800 North Point (at Hyde)	French, New American	$$$$	Nob Hill/ Russian Hill
One of San Francisco's most famous and honored restaurants, named after its award-winning chef-owner, Gary Danko offers prix-fixe meals from its long and tempting seasonally changing menu. There are appetizers, fish and seafood dishes, meat and game birds, an amazing cheese cart, and desserts.... More >>

Globe				Write a Review
290 Pacific (at Battery)	California, Italian, New American	$$, $$$	Embarcadero
The lusty, full-flavored, Italian-influenced California cuisine served at the casual (wood floors, brick walls, open kitchen) Globe is welcome at any time of day, but especially after midnight. This is one of the few first-rate San Francisco eateries that serve a full menu until 1 a.m. (11:30... More >>

2100 Market (at Church)	American, Breakfast, Brunch, New American	$$, $$$	Castro/ Noe Valley
Here you'll find reasonably priced home cooking with a sophisticated edge. Alongside the main courses, you'll get carefully chosen fresh sides served in a lively take on a family restaurant.

Maverick				Write a Review
3316 17th St. (at Mission)	American, New American	$$, $$$	Mission/ Bernal Heights
Tiny, chic restaurant with exciting new American food that's big on flavor. Frequently-changing seasonal menu features such regional specialties as Baltimore crab fluffs and Cincy barbecued ribs to start, followed by Southern fried chicken, a hefty grilled ribeye, or braised pork shoulder, all...

Mission Street Food				Write a Review
2234 Mission (at 18th St.)	New American	$	Mission/ Bernal Heights
On Thursday nights, chef Anthony Myint; his wife, Karen Leibowitz; and a guest chef prepare a limited but exciting menu and serve it to the foodies who line up to snag a table in a room that is a neighborhood Chinese restaurant (Lung Shan) the rest of the week. Myint's signature dish is the... More >>

Oola Restaurant & Bar				Write a Review
860 Folsom (at Fifth St.)	French, Italian, New American	$$$, $$$$	South of Market
Delicious, sophisticated fare served in a chic urban setting South of Market. Chef Ola Fendert prepares fresh, seasonal, mostly organic food, new American cooking with French and Italian accents: We love the deceptively simple fish, flesh, and fowl, roasted, seared, or grilled, served atop...

Serpentine				Write a Review
2495 Third St. (at 22nd St.)	American, California, New American	$$, $$$	Potrero Hill
A welcome addition to Dogpatch's restaurant district, this sister to Slow Club features chef Mark Young's satisfying seasonal comfort food, an interesting wine list, and original cocktails in a industrial-chic room carved out of an old warehouse. The menu evolves frequently. More >>

3583 16th St. (at Market)	American, California, Italian, New American, Pizza	$$, $$$	Castro/ Noe Valley

2814 19th St. (at Bryant)	American, Breakfast, Brunch, California, New American	$$$, $$$$	Mission/ Bernal Heights
This small place in the Outer Mission (outer Mongolia when it opened in 1999, and still a little off the beaten track) draws crowds hungry for its fresh, seasonal, carefully-cooked New American fare. Everything from the big bright salads through the mains (usually including something for... More >>

Wexler's				Write a Review
568 Sacramento (at Leidesdorff)	Barbecue, New American, Southern	$$, $$$$	Union Square/ Financial District
Delicious food inspired by Southern barbecue is on offer in this small, chic downtown room. At lunch, sandwiches star (the pulled lamb is wonderful). At dinner, the smoky chicken liver mousse is superb, and the frequently changing plate of pork; the smoked chicken breast; and the brisketlike... More >>

Wood Tavern				Write a Review
6317 College	California, New American	$$, $$$	Rockridge
Wood Tavern, in the heart of Oakland’s Rockridge gastronomic district, calls itself a gastropub. We call it the very model of a New American restaurant, where you can sip a beautifully made cocktail over a plate of house-made charcuterie, sample wines by the glass with a terrific... More >>
