Refined soul food, vintage photos, supper-club vibe























"Lawrence later opened 1300 Fillmore (in the Fillmore) as one of his own restaurants in the neighborhood, though it has since closed." - Clair Lorell

"I note that Chef David Lawrence of 1300 on Fillmore is collaborating with Chef Mark Dommen of One Market Restaurant on a Black History Month prix-fixe (available Feb. 1–28): a $49 menu (with certain dishes also offered à la carte) featuring Lawrence’s salt-roasted beets and maple-braised beef short ribs alongside Dommen’s Cajun-style boudin and blood orange cornmeal cake, with 10 percent of prix-fixe proceeds going to the Museum of the African Diaspora and a selection of 13 wines by African American winemakers." - Janelle Bitker

"Co-owners Monetta White and David Lawrence moved their Southern-inspired eatery from San Francisco's Fillmore Jazz District to SFO in 2017. Hungry travelers will revel in menu items like barbecue shrimp n' grits, three-hour maple syrup-braised beef short ribs, tasso ham deviled eggs and fried chicken and rosemary waffles with chile-maple syrup." - Michelin Guide Digital-Hong Kong Macau

"I note that 1300 Fillmore, backed by David Lawrence and Monetta White, closed last year after a decade in business; when the adjacent jazz club Yoshi’s closed in 2016, foot traffic dropped and the restaurant was unable to continue, and this summer the city sued the Fillmore Heritage Center’s developer over unpaid loans." - Caleb Pershan

"Known for a popular fried chicken sandwich, 1300 Fillmore closed last year after a decade in business, and chef David Lawrence plans to bring that sandwich to the new Bear’s Lair Tavern." - Caleb Pershan
