The Bay Area’s Best Outdoor Dining Setups of 2020, According to Local Food Insiders | Eater SF

"Overseen by vermouth bar El Lopo, the dining setup on a closed stretch of Austin Alley felt a little bit magical: it served a slew of area restaurants (including the Grubstake, Batter Bakery, and Kasa) while El Lopo’s Daniel Azarkman ran the show—dropping real glass glasses of water at every table, watching every patron to ensure they had what they needed, arranging well-spaced cafe-style seating all set to face the same direction so diners had time to mask up, and creating a nighttime alleyway glow with heat dishes lit and light dancing on the walls that made it almost possible to forget we were eating outside because we had to, not because we chose to." - Eater Staff
