"How Far In Advance Should You Book? Same day for bar seats or anything after 8pm, or three to four weeks out for a prime time. Sitting at the bar is a great way to have a meal at this Hayes Valley restaurant—and it’s pretty easy to grab a reservation the day of. Whether you end up with Douglas fir levain and sea urchin cacio e pepe from the seasonal menu or opt for the chef’s pick tasting ($120), whatever lands in front of you will be hyper-seasonal and phenomenal." - julia chen 1
