14 James Beard Award-Winning Restaurants to Try in San Francisco

"One of the city’s most popular places for smoked salmon, crab salad, and, yes, oysters is this 2000 America’s Classics winner. The restaurant has no website or social media presence, but real ones know to head to Polk Gulch for the long lines and Anthony Bourdain-approved fare. In 2021 restaurant co-owner Jimmy Sancimino was accused of using racist language with a customer, an allegation the business refuted." - Paolo Bicchieri
