San Francisco’s New Restaurant Openings

"The team behind Causwells has opened a bar in the Marina with 24 low-ABV cocktails. There are just two seats at the bar, but there are plenty of dining tables, banquettes, and a parklet. Lilah bills itself as the first bar in the Bay Area to serve shaved ice kakigōri cocktails. Other low-proof drinks feature fruits like watermelon and calamansi as well as creative riffs on classics like a phở margarita and white-pepper infused bloody mary. Also find bar bites like Taiwanese pork belly buns and bánh mì, as well as weekend brunch with heartier dishes like congee and a scallion pancake wrap." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
