Vine Hospitality, the parent company of Left Bank, the Bay Area's best known group of French brasseries, snagged the opportunity, announcing in early 2022 that it would build its first Italian restaurant in the nearly 7,000-square-foot space.
THE VIBE: Sophisticated enough for business dinners, approachable enough for a family birthday party. THE LOOK: Chic and airy, with 17-foot-tall window walls on two sides. Upon entering, diners first see the sophisticated bar and lounge, designed by Arcsine of Oakland in black, red and gray with splashes of green.
THE VIEWS: Request a table facing Santa Clara Street to gaze at the architectural gem that is City Hall, a postmodern design by the noted Richard Meier. The Sonic Runway, an eye-catching light-and-sound art installation, lines the sidewalk and serves as the backdrop for many a nighttime selfie.
