Delhi-Based Restaurant Ditas Sails Into a Stunning Waterfront Space in Sausalito for Its First U.S. Outpost | Eater SF

"Moving into the second floor of the historic building at 558 Bridgeway, Ditas is a South Delhi restaurant and bar taking over a picturesque event space that had huge windows opening up toward the bay. The space will be updated with the help of Winder Gibson Architects and interior designer Maureen Kelsey, and the decor will be centered on the dramatic water and San Francisco views with local design elements such as a toughened glass bar countertop from artisan Bill Empey. Food will be served in a tasting-menu format of European-Asian dishes, much like its two South Delhi locations and its new Mumbai outpost; Sausalito will be the restaurant’s third location and its first in the United States. Chef Aiki Terashima (Picazo Cafe in Sonoma; formerly Morimoto Napa and Reel Fish Shop & Grill) will head the kitchen. There will also be a bar and lounge area with cocktails, a curated wine list, and outdoor seating. Founded by Udita and Utsav Khaitan—Udita is a Le Cordon Bleu London patisserie graduate—the couple plan to open five new restaurants in the next two years. The Sausalito location is slated to debut on Wednesday, February 1, and will initially be open 4:30–9:30 p.m. for dinner and 9:30 p.m.–midnight, seven days a week." - Dianne de Guzman
