Found the ground floor of the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA, this elegant bar and café reframes French bistro standards through a Californian sensibility. The menu turns familiar dishes such as escargot, duck liver mousse and steak tartare toward local influences – smoked salmon rillettes seasoned with everything-bagel spice, and roasted duck glazed with pomegranate aigre-doux among them – while an attentive front-of-house maintains a poised rhythm. Service and ingredient-led plates evoke Parisian brasserie patterns without mere pastiche, favoring considered updates that balance tradition with the produce and textures of the Bay Area.
