"Inside downtown’s Palihotel hides one of San Francisco’s cutest new openings, featuring a decor theme that’s part fishing boat, part old saloon, part chic speakeasy, plus the hotel’s signature mix of prints. Surprisingly, it works. Behind the bar, in a nautically-themed shirt, is seasoned pro Larry Piaskowy of Rich Table and True Laurel, and in the kitchen, new executive chef Felix Santos, previously of Sorrel and Atelier Crenn, has built a menu focusing on seafood and local produce." - Flora Tsapovsky
