12 Restaurants To Make You Fall In Love With SF Again

"Kokkari Estiatorio is a Jackson Square restaurant that oozes white tablecloth charisma—the kind where a server pulls out your chair and refills your free bread endlessly. The Greek spot has been around since the 1990s, and we’re pretty sure the upholstered armchairs and blazing fireplace haven’t changed since this restaurant opened. Crumbs are swept off your table with laser focus while the scent of roasting lamb and chicken wafts through the air, and you’re more likely to overhear conversations about what the grandkids are up to than Y Combinator. Come at dinner, when the low lights make this place feel like a sexy ski lodge. " - julia chen 1
