"Tourists typically visit San Francisco for iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, and Alcatraz Island, not to mention its lively arts and culture venues. Sightseeing, gallery and theater showings, and exciting events aside, the City by the Bay is also home to a widely diverse dining scene, spanning both Michelin-starred establishments and accessible holes-in-the-wall, and covering typical Californian specialties as well as an extensive range of international cuisines."
"Being prepared is key. General tips for successfully grabbing a reservation include periodically checking booking platforms or joining the notification list for those last-minute cancellations; aiming for less popular slots, like opening time or 10 p.m.; or simply walking in and sitting at the bar. Alternatively, when all hope is lost, you could just try a sister restaurant, which would likely not disappoint you, or opt for takeout if the option is offered."
San Francisco attracts visitors for iconic landmarks and lively arts, and also hosts a wide-ranging dining scene from Michelin-starred restaurants to casual holes-in-the-wall. Many in-demand tables are notoriously difficult to book, particularly on weekends, holidays, and primetime dinner hours between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Strategies to improve reservation success include frequently checking booking platforms, joining notification lists for cancellations, targeting less popular time slots such as opening time or 10 p.m., walking in to sit at the bar, choosing sister restaurants, or ordering takeout when available. House of Prime Rib, established in 1949, exemplifies an institution that stays busy even on weekdays.
