Hayes Valley, San Francisco · restaurant
A fast-casual Cal-American spot with a hidden garden patio — leafy, unhurried, and shared with the Arlequin Wine Merchant next door, which means natural wine on tap alongside whatever you ordered from the counter. The Arbor Cheeseburger is Niman Ranch beef with bacon, sherry-chili onion, and Arbor Sauce; the curly fries with roast-garlic aioli are the kind you order once and then every time after. Long lunches, quiet weeknight dinners, and serious takeout all work equally well.
