The Bay Area’s Newest Restaurant Openings, Now on Resy
Want to know the latest — and greatest — restaurant openings in San Francisco? You’re in the right spot.
From a Mediterranean oasis in the Marina to chef Thomas Keller’s Yountville destination, we have you covered with this continuously updated list of hot new debuts.
And if you’re seeking out some beloved Bay Area spots that are now bookable on Resy, we’ve got you covered here.
Milos Meze Marina
Newly added!
One step inside Milos Meze’s blue doorway and you’re transported to a Mediterranean oasis. The colorful wall-to-wall murals, the dips and saganaki, avgolemono, and moussaka bring it all to life. Have some fun with the Greek wines and don’t forget the baklava before you leave.
Modi SoMa
Newly added!
The unique combination of Italian and Mexican flavors come alive in this swank and sparkling downtown spot. The two cuisines intertwine everywhere, from the focaccia with avocado butter to the birria lasagna. Classic cocktails and a few unique concoctions round things out.
Bar Jabroni Lower Haight
The shiny new sister spot to the acclaimed (and beloved) Palm City Wines in the Sunset is Bar Jabroni, billed as “a restaurant disguised as a bar.” As you should expect from owners Monica Wong and Dennis Cantwell, the vibes are fun and casual, but the beverage offerings are top-tier and the food (pillowy soft gnudi with taleggio fonduta, beef tartare with pickled onion) will surprise and delight you. Go with someone you like enough to share bites with; or meet someone new at the fun bar.
Fisch & Flore The Castro
It’s a new day for this iconic location in the Castro. Airy, streamlined, and more accessible than ever, you’ll find a seafood-focused menu with things like baked clams, smoked tuna tartare, and fried smelt. Plus, a fun wine list to pursue and some serious cocktail action.
RO Restaurant & Lounge Yountville
Thomas Keller’s newest addition to his Yountville collection is RO Restaurant & Lounge. Chef de cuisine Jeffery Hayashi is offering Asian-inspired cuisine with California twists, translating to dishes like uni toast, black truffle egg salad sandwich, and even shaved ice and mochi. Pro tip: Know that caviar is always an option.
Sushi Salon Oakland
Eight seats, 18 courses, and selections brought in by a preeminent fish broker who only sells directly to this one restaurant in the U.S.: No details are spared for this omakase experience, from the soy sauce to the vinegar used to season the rice. It’s no wonder the pop-up was so successful and destined to be a permanent fixture.
Gen-Gen Room Lower Nob Hill
Hidden below Liholiho Yacht Club is the Gen-Gen Room, which is newly reopened after a long hiatus. It’s now a private event space and the beautiful jewel box of a room can fit 10 to 20 diners. The price includes a seated, family-style menu, Tuesday through Saturday.
Cured Fish Bar Downtown Livermore
No need to run into the city for a plate of briny oysters, crusty bread, and a great glass of wine. This Livermore spot, overseen by a couple of alums of San Francisco and L.A. heavy-hitters, has that and more, with a compelling list of sake to boot.
Movida South Beach / East Cut
The blend of Persian and Mexican influences permeates the entire space, from the boldly rich colors in the dining room to the menu. Think pomegranate paired with adobo, and saffron-infused Tequila on the cocktail side. Even the brunch menu’s in on it — yes to huevos rancheros with refried garbanzos, Aleppo salsa macha and eggs.
Leopold’s Russian Hill
You know life is back in order when you can get a beer boot and bratwurst at Leopold’s. The friendly neighborhood gasthaus has a few nips and tucks, and a fresh coat of paint, but the lively atmosphere remains. As does the schnitzel, and really, isn’t that all that matters?
Malibu Farm – Tiburon Tiburon
Doesn’t matter what coast or waterfront view, chef Helene Henderson’s farm-fresh dishes are quintessentially Californian. The Marin outpost has all the favorites: watermelon cocktails, lobster sliders, roasted chicken with cauliflower mash, and more.
Robin Menlo Park Menlo Park
Chef Adam Tortosa’s contemporary omakase is a perfect fit for the Peninsula crowd. Like the original Hayes Valley outpost, it’s less about the bounty of Japan for the menu, and more about top-tier ingredients available here. The customized menu fits any price and preference; just make sure to sit back and enjoy the show.
