The people behind San Francisco Italian institution, , and one of 2025's Best New Restaurants, , are getting ready to open a more casual offshoot-an all-day cafe called Bar Coto. This place will combine what this team clearly has a knack for: great food, an impressive selection of wine, and gelato. The latter has always been a summer-only offering from their sidewalk cart, Gelateria Di

First it was augmented reality darts, and now there are indoor golf simulators. But this SoMa spot is more than just a place to hit the digital greens-it also doubles as a restaurant and cocktail bar. The food menu covers dishes like stuffed mushrooms, Thai chili wings, burgers, and steak sandwiches. We haven't been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

There were many things that drew me to California. There was the sunshine, of course, as well as the endless coastline and vibrant culture. But what I remember being most blown away by was the food - in particular, the Mexican food. Much like Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex varies all over the state, and every area has reimagined the specialties in its own way. One of the best examples is San Francisco's Mission-style burrito - a ginormous, foil-wrapped mammoth filled with meat, rice, beans, and more.

Ho ho ho! I started my annual transformation into Champers the elf last Thursday at Arlequin's holiday Champagne tasting, what a blast that was. Pop! After the event, this tipsy lady was grateful to be able to slide into a late table at Dingles (read my preview ) for their life-saving and crazy-delicious cheeseburger (it's rapidly becoming a favorite).

The Ferry Building is gaining another new spot in Lucania, a southern Italian restaurant from the team. On top of the expected pizzas and pastas, they're also focused on seafood like roasted sardines, steamed mussels, and more. Plus, Lucania is taking over the former MarketBar space, so we're hoping the former patio will become another great spot to people-watch along the Embarcadero.

Guests enter the restaurant through the main doors of the Westin and land in the Bourbon Loungeformerly Clock Bara cinematic expanse of marble and brass, with coffered ceilings lit by sparkling spherical chandeliers and warm globe lamps that illuminate soft leather stools.
