First I’ve heard of it, and I’m unlikely ever to eat anywhere in that neighborhood, but Claudio Villani, the owner, is a good somm. Had a good time at its predecessor.
Goodness, why? And the menu looks quite good.
Parking’s awful, it’s a long schlep from BART, we have roughly similar places in the East Bay, and there’s nothing else in the immediate neighborhood that would bring me there.
Oh well, if you’re coming from the East Bay and unwilling to take MUNI then yeah. I thought you were advising against the neighborhood for anyone. Sorry.
The immediate neighborhood gets a lot of tourists because the cable car goes by.
I take Muni or Lyft or walk when there’s a good reason, for example to go to the excellent, very traditional tapas place that used to be right by there. Of course that was too good to last.
Ooh, haven’t eaten there since our kids moved to Marin. Liked it a lot.
Do you recall what else they have on the HH menu other than $1 oysters and mussels?
Their seafood chowder is great.

Across the street is NOPA where you could get a good cocktail and some things from their bar snacks menu (they have the best fries in the city and used to have great fried smelts on their bar snacks menu but looking now I don’t see them anymore).
Also on Divisadero, if you are into Amaro cocktails, is Bar 821 that has like 90 different types.
Awesome. I’ll check out Bar Crudo for some HH action. Love me a good chowder.
Does NOPA still do their awesome pork chop?
Yes and their burger is still great. If you want an ice cream fix Bi-Rite is across the street from Bar Crudo and usually has no line at all (unlike the Mission location).
In Situ is fantastic, Bar Crudo’s oyster happy hour is great, and the duck at The Morris is solid indeed. The Morris also has an insane chartreuse collection, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I ate at the bar at Angler a couple weeks ago and did not have a good experience, but that may have been partly due to the atrocious server.
No love for Mister Jiu’s?
I like it.
Ming Kee for the BBQ Pork Neck and Soy Sauce Chicken!!!
The best Hong Kong BBQ in the whole damn state. Maybe the whole US of A.
Yet it is still relatively unknown except among the local Cantonese and Chinese college students

I was able to get in to Sorrel so ended up canceling In Situ. Seems like a safer bet. Hopefully it’s the right decision.
That’s a very upscale neighborhood. They have to satisfy picky rich people.
what does that even mean?
