SCENE: Next door to the Tunnel Top bar, this neighborhood nook is a bit of Nob Hill chic combined with the warmth of home. Snag a seat at the tiny bar to catch up with friends over a dozen oysters and a Belgian beer. If you’re on a date, the candlelit tables upstairs by the window are coziest.

EATS: Although this raw bar offers all the chilled-shellfish standbys, the delicious selection of sashimi-style crudos—such as cubes of arctic char with creamy horseradish, tobiko and dill—lend a refreshing twist. Share the raw sampler to start, but don’t miss the fantastic, silky seafood chowder with potatoes and applewood-smoked bacon.
