Marina, San Francisco ยท restaurant
A Fillmore Street institution since 1913, where the original wood bar still stands and the room still draws the Marina the way it always has. The Balboa Burger arrives on a baguette with butter lettuce and housemade pickles; the Wednesday Chicken Paillard turns a weeknight into a reason to show up; the Espressotini has outlasted every cocktail trend that has moved through the city. The kind of place where regulars from decades back share the room with people who just walked in for the first time.
