Magnolia Crawfish Boil

(event)

The good times will be rolling at Magnolia Pub on June 16, when the restaurant will host a good old-fashioned New Orleans-style crawfish boil. Crawfish by the pound, side dishes aplenty and $3 mugs of house beer. Now that’s some Southern hospitality.

Editor's Pick Best New Restaurant: Waterbar

(article)

by Sara Deseran and Jessica Battilana
posted January 26, 2009 4:06PM

Everything Pat Kuleto does, he does in a big way. Both seafood-forward Waterbar and its turf equivilant, Epic Roasthouse, are no exception—it’s just that Waterbar is the more talented of the two. Only Pat Kuleto would spend years and millions building a from-the-ground-up water-front restaurant with 18-foot-tall saltwater fish tanks and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Bay, with a pricey menu to match. Thankfully, ambition and execution are, in this case, well-matched.

Editor's Pick Best New Restaurant: Anchor & Hope

(article)

posted January 26, 2009 2:57PM

Take a little East Coast formal (a GM in a suit and a chef who likes her vegetables brunoised) and West Coast casual (painted plywood floors, hawsers strung from the ceiling and diners in jeans) and you’ve got Anchor & Hope’s cross-country take on a seafood shack. The third SoMa project brought to us by Doug Washington, with chefs Steven and Mitchell Rosenthal of Town Hall and Salt House, features chef Sarah Schafer’s food, which is by no means shack-esque.

Anchor & Hope, from the team that brought us Salt House and Town Hall, docks downtown.

If you're opening a restaurant, one of the most important pieces of the puzzle is tapping into what diners want. Sounds obvious, but satisfying the desires of the fickle masses is no mean feat. Front-of-the-house man Doug Washington and chefs (and brothers) Mitchell and Steve Rosenthal have nailed it thus far: Their first restaurants, Town Hall and Salt House, remain two of the city's most beloved, owing to approachable menus that have such duh-it's-delicious dishes as fried chicken, braised short ribs and crispy shrimp.

The unassuming facade of Five Happiness—located next door to the famous Irish pub Abbey Tavern and a stone’s throw from the celebrated Asian-food corridor that is Clement Street—belies its spacious interior, bedecked with the typical red-and-gold Chinese motif, along with the requisite tank of good-luck koi. Eats:What's on your menu.: We come here to feast on generous seafood dishes, such as deliciously eggy shrimp with lobster sauce and the signature hot garlic chicken wings (with their sticky-sweet glaze, they really are finger-lickin’ good) alongside rollicking tables filled with inebriated businessmen. The off-the-menu Shanghai-style noodles appeal to purists—cloaked with a garlic-and-soy sauce and boasting a nice wok char (but without meat or seafood to distract from the experience).

Doug Washington Talks Anchor & Hope

(blog)



The dynamic trio behind Salt House and Town Hall (Doug Washington and Mitchell and Steve Rosenthal) are at it again. Their latest venture, Anchor & Hope, is an oyster and fish house with a San Francisco sensibility—it’s opening April 21 (83 Minna St., 415-501-9100). Here, Doug Washington (the front-of-the-house man) dishes on the new spot.

How did you come up with the name?

Dinner with a view at Waterbar, Pat Kuleto's newest fishy project

Dinner with a view? A table awaits at Waterbar, Pat Kuleto's newest fishy project.

Dinner with a view? A table awaits at Waterbar, Pat Kuleto's newest fishy project.

For a bay-side city, San Francisco has historically had little in the way of high-quality waterfront seafood restaurants.

But the tide is turning, thanks in part to Waterbar, one of two new restaurants from Pat Kuleto. The restaurateur (Boulevard, Jardinière, Farallon) poured some $18 million into the Rincon Park development that houses Waterbar and its sister restaurant, Epic Roasthouse—an investment that made him the first private owner of property on the Embarcadero in 100 years and gatekeeper to what is arguably the finest view in the city.

Lobster rolls in North Beach.

Lobster rolls in North Beach.A good lobster roll is hard to find in San Francisco, but displaced New Englanders can now get their fix at the newly opened North Beach Lobster Shack. The “Maine lobster roll,” a generous mound of fresh lobster meat anointed with mayonnaise and piled high on a buttered bun, is the thing to order, and co-owners Russell Deutsch and Ed Rounds do it right. When the East Coast natives couldn’t find top-loading hot-dog buns (the only  bun for the job) in SF, they had molds made and commissioned a local bakery to produce them.

All-American with a Twist

A Marina mainstay gets a face-lift.

A Marina mainstay gets a face-lift.It’s amazing what some crystal-dripping chandeliers can do: Cozmo’s, in the Marina, once best known for its singles scene, has been reinvented as Circa with the help of a revamped gold-and-sage interior by Michael Brennan. The food takes itself more seriously now too. Chef Erik Hopfinger’s appetizers are twists on all-American: “Tater tots” are given a filling of Dungeness crab, foie gras is seared and served with peanut-butter brioche and huckleberry jam for the ultimate PB&J and mac-and-cheese gets lobster and truffles.
