Now on Resy: Prik Hom, Kaiyo, Friends and Family, and More Local Favorites
From the relocation of a French-California bistro in North Beach to a cozy cocktail haunt in Pacific Heights, these are just a few of the beloved Bay Area spots that are now bookable on Resy. Right this way.
Note: This list will be updated regularly with new additions each month, so be sure to check back often. For San Francisco’s newest restaurant openings, head here.
Prik Hom The Richmond

Newly added!
The narrow, minimalist space belies the bright, aromatic, and flavor-packed dishes that come out of this kitchen. This is Thai food with a Michelin nod, after all, where the menu ranges from sweet scallops with shredded lemongrass and chili jam to beef cheek curry, spicy papaya salad with fried quail, and inky squid stir-fry. A glass or two of skin-contact wine, some mango sorbet and sticky rice, and you’re set.

Friends and Family Uptown Oakland
![Friends and Family oeufs mayo](https://blog.resy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Friends-and-Family-eggs-800x911.jpg)
Newly added!
This Uptown Oakland spot is one of the best places for a first date. Maybe it’s the lighting that makes everyone look fantastic, maybe it’s that excellent carrot cake that begs for sharing (a good barometer to see if they’re worthy of a second date), or just the whole “everyone’s welcome” vibe of the place. Cocktails are the beating heart — try Mom’s Rosy Cheeks, a rose-scented chiller for hot nights — and some snacks, or a crisp, crushable beer, zero-proof sipper, or glass of wine on the patio.

Kaiyo Restaurant SoMa
Newly added!
Much like Kaiyo Cow Hollow and the rooftop restaurant just an elevator ride away, Nikkei cuisine is alive and well at this iteration on the hotel’s ground floor. Peruvian and Japanese flavors and ingredients abound, from individual oysters bathing in leche de tigre to super shareable plates of lomo saltado. The drink menu differs from the rooftop, so consider one here, one there, and call it a night.
Kuma Nori Burlingame
Newly added!
The small space filled with Japanese daruma dolls and good luck cats looks like something you stumbled upon in a Tokyo alleyway. The food feels just as intimate and inviting — things like a breaded pork cutlet over scrambled eggs and steamed rice (a mainstay) and the quirkily named “stupid tuna roll,” most likely named for the absurd amount of tuna sashimi and uni draped over the sushi roll.
Society Eatery & Lounge Burlingame
Newly added!
The crowd’s young, purple lights and neon create a cool vibe, and everyone’s digging into puffy-crust pizzas, dips, and skewers. Stick around for late-night hookah.
Harrington’s Bar & Grill Financial District
Newly added!
They may be trying to reinvent history at this iconic, nearly 100-year-old bar, but the place still has soul. The old and new commingle — yes, there’s a perfect pint of Guinness waiting for you, but also an espresso martini or Negroni — and you can never go wrong with a Scotch egg. Or a smash burger, for that matter.
Napizza Marina District
Newly added!
How can you not have fun at a place serving wood-fired pizza topped with hot dogs and French fries? Everyone seems to be having a blast here, where the wine flows easily, and the pies come hot and bubbly from the oven. There are classic toppings, of course, plus shareable starters like meatballs, arancini, and arugula salads.
Casaro Osteria Marina, San Francisco
![Casaro Osteria octopus](https://blog.resy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Casaro-Osteria-octopus-800x922.jpg)
Newly added!
Sometimes you feel like you’re in the heart of Italy here, and not sitting in the Cow Hollow sibling to Il Casaro. It could be the colorful rooster plates, face-shaped cups, or maybe the perfectly chewy Neapolitan pizzas and al dente housemade pasta. Whatever it is, it’s precisely where you want to be.

Cassava North Beach
![Cassava space](https://blog.resy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Casava-space-800x450.jpg)
Turns out moving their long-standing restaurant to North Beach (leaving Wine Bar by Cassava in Richmond) was just the right idea for Yuka Ioroi and Kris Toliao. But it’s even better for anyone who loves the prix fixe menus, that burger, the buttermilk fried chicken, signature Japanese breakfast, and other fun snacks. Pro tip: Beverage pairings are never a bad idea here.

The Rustic Duboce Triangle
You’ll try to order everything all at once, but here’s a tip: Make repeat visits. That’s what this cozy Cal-Italian spot is built for. Maybe it’s fried olives and handmade ricotta-lemon ravioli with a glass of wine, one day. Another, little gem salad and a few wood-fired pies. Halfway through the mortadella pizza with burrata and pistachios, you’ll realize you didn’t even touch the mains and dessert yet — and you’ll plan your next meal accordingly.
Ragazza Lower Haight
This neighborhood favorite feels like family, which might have to do with all the photos lining the walls. Pizzas are the stars, anything from pepperoni with hot honey to cauliflower, caper, and pepperoncini. Throw in some arancini and a wild arugula salad, and the night is set.
Lucia’s Berkeley Downtown Berkeley
While this isn’t solely a gluten-free restaurant, the Berkeley spot has become a favorite for the GF crowd thanks to a stellar pizza dough and pasta options. Meatballs in sugu, great salads, and cocktails are a must either way.
The Snug Pacific Heights
![The Snug chicken sandwich](https://blog.resy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/The-Snug-chicken-sandwich-800x450.jpg)
As the name suggests, The Snug is snug, and that alone makes us happy. It’s great for a date, with a group, or even solo, but whatever you do, don’t sleep on the excellent cocktails and save room for the food. (We’re especially fond of the shiitake hummus served with sesame naan that’s freshly made inside the restaurant’s tandoor oven.)

Kuma on Valencia Mission
A neighborhood-focused sushi spot for traditional nigiri, fresh fish selections, and unique combination rolls, that’s Kuma for you. The vibe is fun and friendly, and the sushi is seriously good. Think gleaming pieces of fluke, kanpachi, or sea bream, alongside a perfect spicy tuna roll with pineapple and avocado.
Firenze by Night North Beach
The familial vibe is hard to escape, and you’ll never get out of this North Beach gem without feeling that warm embrace. Comforting Italian classics, like gnocchi in tomato cream sauce or eggplant parm, are hard to beat.
Boulettes Larder Financial District
At the always-reliable Boulettes Larder, chef Amaryll Schwertner and co-owner Lori Regis are doing what they do best: infusing local farm produce with flavors from around the globe, all within a stunning yet unfussy waterfront locale.
Angie’s Pizza Mission District
![Angie's Pizza](https://blog.resy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Angies-Pizza-800x1002.jpg)
When you need a stress-free night out in the Mission, be it a casual date or just needing to unwind, Angie’s does the trick. It has all the trappings of a retro-cool hangout, like wood paneling, geometric tiles, and a strong vinyl collection. But the thin-crust pies, bubbling from the wood-burning oven, are the reason to be here.

Doma Sushi Bar Bernal Heights
The little 10-seater flies under the radar, but in truth, it’s one of the best bangs for the omakase buck. Fresh fish from Japan and other top-notch ingredients (including Wagyu), delicious presentations, and great service — it’s all you need, really.
Cantina Los Mayas Inner Richmond
As one of the first Mexican wine bars to open in the United States, Cantina Los Mayas will open your eyes to the wines, regions, and producers of Mexico, such as Baja California’s vaunted Guadalupe Valley. And if you know sister spot Taqueria Los Mayas, you’ll know that the food here is also stellar.
E&O Kitchen and Bar Union Square
Thanks to the sprawling space and cuisine-spanning menu, this Union Square spot is conducive to groups, but it’s equally great for solo diners or couples looking to share a few bites. There’s a great bar and outdoor space (and happy hour is always bustling). A few things that should always make the rounds: crispy Indonesian corn fritter bites, hoisin spare ribs, and butternut squash dumplings.
BIRD DOG Downtown
If you want a restaurant as boisterous as the Silicon Valley crowd, head straight to Bird Dog. Influenced by Northern California, Japan, and other bastions of fine ingredients, the sleek restaurant, helmed by chef Robbie Wilson, packs global flavors into delicious seasonal plates that you won’t want to share.
Pizzeria da Laura Berkeley
Square pizza is all the rage at award-winning pizzaiola Laura Meyer’s spot. Doesn’t matter if it’s Sicilian, Detroit or grandma-style, the crust to topping ratios are all on point. Mix and match to compare, and throw in a New York-style thin-crust for good measure. Don’t overlook other parts of the menu, though: Caesar salads, meatballs, and spaghetti smothered with ragu, her Dad’s own recipe.
Aracely Cafe Treasure Island
![Aracely Cafe eggs](https://blog.resy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Aracely-Cafe-eggs.jpg)
Whether you sit inside or out on the sprawling garden patio, this Treasure Island all-day spot is like a port in a storm. Go during the day for brunch favorites like soy-glazed pork belly and farro pancakes and croissant French toast; and beefy burgers, Bolognese, and pork shoulder rice bowls at night. Or just hang out around the fire pit.

Kinara Fusion Kitchen Lower Nob Hill
Of course you can get curries, chicken tikka, and masala specialties at Kinara, but it’s how you get them that makes the place. The blend of traditional Indian flavors in things like ribs (marinated in tandoori barbecue sauce), pizza (topped with curry sauce and marinated chicken), and fries (smothered in paneer and tikka masala sauce) gets the raves.
