Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness

Vibrant atmosphere, food portions were generous and service was good except it took a long time to get our entrees. Overall fun place for a group outing.

Ken the sushi chef is amazing always lets us try something new at no charge. Brian our server is also fantastic. This place is great!

Nopa was a fantastic experience - haven’t been back for a decade and the food and service are as I remembered. Accommodated a seating request and a late guest arrival ; service was friendly and helpful. Food was exceptional. Best porchetta ever tasted; agnolotti was juicy; fried chicken was addicting. Great desserts; good bar experience. Won’t wait so long to return again. Parking is a challenge; take ride share and avoid the stress.

So happy to see Chao Pesco back and lively - interesting appetizer and meal options are great for couples or friends dining options. Location is perfect for close performance dinner or after work gatherings. I like that the restaurant is able to accomodate 2 to many diners!

Large portions. Lots of meat on the brisket sandwich. Excellent sandwich. Very good caeser salad. Ribs are not as good... not fall off the bone.
