Mijo Restaurant Corte Madera

map

Newly added!

Because the heart of Mijo’s menu is classic Spanish dishes, woven with influences from wood fire, the rotisserie, and a touch of California flair. That means you’ll find things like spit-roasted chicken basted in saffron-garlic butter, charred octopus with mojo rojo sauce, and paella, all served in a colorful and welcoming space.

Alora – San Ramon San Ramon

map

Newly added!

You can always expect a dynamic spread of dishes on the menu at Alora: green pea hummus, charred chicken wings, kofta, octopus souvlaki, and puffy pita straight from the oven. Luckily, the big, bright space is conducive to spreading out and trying it all — just don’t forget to try some of the Mediterranean-inspired cocktails.

North Beach Restaurant North Beach

map

Because it’s a highly anticipated reopening from a San Francisco OG: A neighborhood classic for over 50 years, North Beach Restaurant has pulled locals in for calamari salad, osso bucco, and papardelle with wild boar ragu. The main dining room stays buzzing with its dark wood floors and cozy banquettes, but the wine cellar room has a time and place (like when you’re more interested in your date than the scene).

Sirene Lake Merrit

map

From the team behind The Morris comes this seafood-focused spot, perfect for raw bar towers, plates of shrimp chorizo, duck-and-lobster mortadella charcuterie, cocktails on tap, and a wine list that’s fun to peruse. Whole roasted Petrale sole and super craggy fried chicken are the way to go, followed by a giant slice of chocolate cake.

Sushi Ai Redwood

map

Minimalist and almost monastic by design, Sushi Ai is where you’ll find beautifully prepared dishes made with ingredients from Japan and local purveyors. You might see things like braised ankimo (creamy monkfish liver) and ikura on a nori chip alongside pristine nigiri. Bonus: The in-house dry-aging fish program brings flavors to their peak.

Hapa Bistro San Bruno

map

This cozy 16-seater blends French, Japanese, and local flavors for fresh, light lunches and refined contemporary tasting menus at night. During the day, expect things like chicken cordon bleu or chirashi bowls; at night, the menu changes regularly, but you might see leek soup, trout with carrot salad and yuzu kosho, and pistachio cake with condensed milk ice cream.

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

map

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

map

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.

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.
