"Side A is the ideal candidate for a golden hour, people-watch-on-the-sidewalk moment. The Mission spot reaches peak buzziness when the sun starts to go down. Soak it all in and grab a glass of house wine, dig into a pile of cheese fries (topped with caviar, because this is SF), and listen to whatever record is spinning that night. 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." - patrick wong, julia chen 1
