"Located on Hyde Street in Russian Hill, this charming and unassuming Mediterranean- and Spanish-influenced restaurant is a hidden gem. Chef and owner Michael Pawlik takes full advantage of San Francisco’s proximity to wine country with an impressive selection of wines, from local favorites like pinot noir from Flowers Vineyard in Sonoma to imported bottles from Spain. The food menu consists of Spanish staples, from seafood paella to charred octopus, all of which are exquisite and beautifully plated. Don’t forget to finish with the cinnamon-sugared ricotta bunuelos." - Rob Willis
