"We have this Californian restaurant to thank for an iconic roast chicken, and equally as famous caesar salad and focaccia burger. Open since 1979, this place still has a lot of charm, including white tablecloths and a big brick wood-burning oven (for that chicken) visible from the dining room. It’s an SF classic that still packs every table nightly—and one everyone should experience at least once." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
