"Sheba Piano Lounge is where the Fillmore’s jazz roots live on. The music venue and Ethiopian restaurant hosts live music performances five days a week, with no cover (even on weekends). Their high tops are the perfect perches to fantasize about running away to master the bass in an underground musician commune. Sure, this place is a great pick for a sexy post-dinner nightcap, but their food shouldn’t be ignored. The vegetarian sampler with rich mesir wat, gomen, and spongy injera is a hit, as are the sirloin sambussas with crisp bottoms." - julia chen 1
