Where To Go When You Don’t Want To Make A Big Deal About Your Birthday, But You Actually Kinda Do - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Leo’s Oyster Bar is nice without feeling stuffy and there’s enough of a buzz inside where you and friends won’t have to worry about being too loud. This place is covered in plants and looks great in photos, they make great cocktails, and there’s a ton of raw and cooked seafood to choose from. If you don’t fill up on oysters, the lobster roll is a good call back to the hot dogs you ate at your fourth birthday party - minus the pointy cardboard hats. Same-day weekday reservations are easy to nab. Just don’t bring a group—Leo’s is mostly just bar stools and two-tops." - taylor abrams
