Best Restaurants for Solo Dining in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Lowkey spacious restaurants don’t get a ton of credit in the Instagram-friendly restaurants of 2025, places with cursive neon signs beating you over the head with big throngs of diners going so beyond the phone-eats-first mentality one wonders if they even know what they’ve ordered. Dancing Yak is the immaculate other, the antithesis, the tonic. The restaurant’s held it down with lush Nepalese food since debuting in 2018. Get a plate of Sacramento-raised goat curry, a glass of the sake-like Nepalese raksi, and unwind." - Paolo Bicchieri
