"Back in 1979, before words like “seitan” and “zoodles” were part of the city’s lexicon, Greens debuted in the Marina with an entirely vegetarian menu. It’s hands-down one of the most beautiful places to eat in SF—there are big windows that look out onto the water, so you might see boats bobbing by or sea lions playing around in the bay while you eat, plus colossal wood sculptures in the dining room. Come here for leisurely meals consisting of spring rolls, pizza on cornmeal crust, and heirloom pepper panzanella. The food won’t blow your mind, but it doesn’t need to. A meal at Greens will always be an experience to try at least once. " - lani conway, julia chen 1
