The Hit List: New San Francisco Restaurants To Try Right Now - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Yes, Side A draws crowds for their fancy speakers, rotating DJ sets, and shelves with enough vinyl to wallpaper a studio apartment. But it’s the stellar bistro dishes at this Mission spot, like the ridiculously decadent bone marrow burger, or the juicy chicken cutlet with honey mustard and hazelnuts, that keep us coming back. Set up your next solo meal or date night here and fall prey to the charm of the cozy space with friendly staff, and—our preferred nightcap—the carrot cake. Reservations open up on Resy 14 days in advance at midnight. You can walk in and sit at the bar, and they save the sidewalk tables for wine and appetizers while you wait." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
