This lovely restaurant located right at the corner of market and 12th street in Hayes Valley has become one of my favorite places to go when im in the mood for some good wine, never ending oysters or just simply want to surround myself with beautiful people.
Zuni is one of the few restaurants in San Francisco that have been going strong with the same owners for over the last 30 years, which as soon as you enter the doors you will realize is not such a surprise. Its welcoming atmosphere fused with a minimalistic and industrial interior, including floor to ceiling windows and walls adorned with artworks by local artists, keeps the place looking modern and edgy. The restaurant has an aura of sophisticated casualness over it without being too trendy and intimidating.
As wonderful as the ambience is, the food is even better. The roasted chicken is a crowd favorite at this place, but the thin crust pizza, creamy polenta and of course the oysters are also great choices. As the dishes are not too big ordering several different dishes is suggested and also encouraged. Make sure you save room for one of the many desserts; the espresso granita is particular satisfactory.
Making a reservation is recommendable, however if you do happen to pop in and there is a wait list you could always find your way to the bar and have a taste of the many good wines they carry while you flip threw their very own Zuni Café cookbook. Enjoy!
