Maybe The Hot New Restaurant In Your City Isn’t Really New - The Infatuation

"Opened in 1974; closed in 2020 for four years After closing in 2020, Seal Rock Inn Restaurant reopened under new ownership with a French twist. But the main draw of the San Francisco diner is still the location—it’s perched about as close as you can get to the Pacific without needing to squeeze into a wetsuit. The new spot feels pretty divorced from the original history of the family-run restaurant, with statues, checkered floors, and bistro-ified dishes that are decent but nothing you’ll be pining for days later. You’re really here to gaze through the huge, ocean-facing windows. Or, at the very least, sip an old-school hot chocolate with a tuft of whipped cream." - anne cruz
