"We love falling into a red velvet booth at this Hayes Valley spot and admiring the mural, which shows painted diners eating off of white tablecloths like they’re an extension of the dining room. The French brasserie has a seafood and meat-heavy lunch menu that highlights dishes like salade lyonnaise with duck confit, steak frites, and oysters—basically, the kinds of things that complete the experience of eating in a buttoned-up space. They also make great cocktails, both with and without absinthe. " - julia chen 1
