Best Casual Restaurants in Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness

The tea salad is worth the visit. Try the Branzino! This was great and spicy.

Not having ribs available when opening is egregious, especially on Father’s Day. It inexplicable to not have them ready at noon when opening is, yet ready for those dining later in the day. Start the smoking process earlier, especially when you have reservations for noon right off the bad. Disappointing.

Happy hour cocktail was out and there was no alternative offered. Waiter was reluctant to allow me to order cocktail not already “prebatched”. When people come in for happy hour and the menu offering is incorrect, there should be an alternative offered for the happy hour price point.

Amazing! Super fun, delicious, good service, conversation. All of it was great!
