Things To Do
Sequoia Diner
Great spot for Brunch. Black and locally owned.
Plow
Farm-to-table brunch spot. They don't take reservations. If you're going on the weekend, make sure to get there at opening or expect an hour plus wait.
Standard Fare
Another great brunch spot. If you like spicy, ask for the secret fermented peppers. Best time to go is on a Saturday morning/afternoon after 9:30 for the full brunch menu. They're closed on Sundays & Mondays.
Sam's Log Cabin
... one more brunch recommendation with outdoor only seating
Babette
Babette is great for lunch, brunch, or dinner. Saturday afternoon's they typically have a jazz band playing in the patio.
El Patio
Great spot for Arepas ... and if you couldn't guess from the name, they have a patio
Burdell
Soul food with a modern twist. Black and locally owned.
Jo's Modern Thai
Yummy Thai Food
Souvla
If you're venturing into San Francisco, Soulva is a yummy Greek spot for lunch or a quick dinner. There are several locations in the city. We highly recommend getting the frozen Greek yogurt with sea salt and olive oil for dessert.
Foreign Cinema
A fun hidden gem in SF. Check it out for lunch or brunch, but if you go for dinner, they might be a screening of an old classic movie on their giant back patio wall. Reservations recommended.
Saltbreaker
Dinner spot. Recommend the fresh pasta.
Tacos Oscar
Probably our favorite taco spot in the Bay... and there are vegan options! Outdoor seating only.
Belotti Ristorante E Bottega
For authentic Italian, you have to try Beloitti. Reservation highly recommended.
Pucquio
If you're looking for Ceviche, check out this Peruvian spot. It's small and intimate with a staff of 3 - two chefs and the host, Kevin.
Mia
Another great taco spot and it's family-owned!
Tucker's Ice Cream
If you want to visit where Sevita worked in high school and get some double-creamed ice cream on a chocolate waffle cone, check out Tucker's
Original Pattern Brewing
If beer is your thing, check out Original Pattern. It's great for groups. They typically have a pizza vendor who makes delicious thin crusted wood fire oven pizzas.
Cellarmaker House of Pizza
Another great spot for beer and groups. Cellarmakers pizza is a thick Chicago-styled deep-dish pizza, cut so you always get a corner piece.
Rosenblum Cellars
If drinking wine with a waterfront view is more your vibe, check out Rosenblum Cellars.
Ad Hoc
If you're venturing off to Napa, we highly recommend Thomas Keller's restaurant Ad Hoc.
The Charter Oak Restaurant
This might be Sevita's favorite restaurant :) A must if visiting Napa. The menu is always rotating, but they usually always have the "Raw Vegetables From Our Farm". This simple and fresh starter comes with a hand made dip bursting with favor.
