SCENE: A circular bar is the focal point of highly social Mecca, where patrons sip honey-lychee daiquiris and orange blossom martinis. The crowd consists of well-dressed Castro couples and groups of revelers celebrating special occasions.

EATS: The fries and ribs are to die for, and don’t pass up the seared foie gras starter, paired with pomegranate-glazed black Mission figs and crispy polenta. The menu reflects a comfort-food-meets-California sensibility, with entrees such as prosciutto-wrapped halibut with Blue Lake beans and smashed baby carrots and the roasted Fulton Farms chicken with sweet corn and oyster mushrooms.
