Most locals eat at Boulevard or Zuni when they’re celebrating. Although a little expensive, these restaurants deliver impeccable food. If you’re short on time, try the oysters and the best margaritas in the city at Zuni, a pretty window-lined restaurant looking out onto Market St.

Located downtown, Boulevard’s focus is inward. In one of the few buildings that survived the 1906 earthquake, the cozy Beaux Art interior hosts a long bar where you can watch the kitchen (a great deal if you’re solo or can’t get a table), prepare the elegant comfort food that comes out of the kitchen under the watchful eye of Nancy Oakes. She’s won the James Beard award for The Best Chef in California, a state where the competition is fierce.

The best place to eat dinner and look at the Golden Gate Bridge is the restaurant Greens. Tucked away near Fort Mason, it’s confusing to find, so take a cab. Lots of windows, the tables are well-spaced so the room is quiet and gentle and it serves vegetarian food you rarely find: tasty, fresh and interesting. They grow their own produce and have a great cookbook.
