Best Lunch Restaurants in Outer Mission

Zuni is special. It’s that rare combination of exceptionally good food, warm and gracious service and a beautiful, timeless environment where you immediately feel at home. It’s been this way for years and it’s why it is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. This visit reinforced that all over again.

I always love going here! Both the Northbeach location and Westlake are run so efficiently! The service and the food is always excellent, though they did let me down today! I ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad and it was soggy and lackluster in flavor- I found gristle in a few of the chicken pieces. I have to say it’s the only thing I’ve ever had from Joes that was a disappointment . Perhaps they should consider taking it off the menu if they can’t execute it well?

Food is terrific. The best burger in San Francisco. They have this amazing horseradish aioli on it and I always ask for a small container to go as an extra. Staff are always friendly. It’s our go to place for many occasions formal and informal

Worth the hype! Experienced a Christmas miracle by snagging the last rez for two on Christmas Eve at Elena’s at 11:30 a.m. Fun seat mates, great staff (thanks Jordan!), delicious craft cocktails, superior ahi tacos and maybe the best Branzino I’ve ever had. My husband loved the pozole - not too spicy. Highly recommend. 💫

Really nice experience. Great food and super attentive service. We're on the covered patio, so a little less buzzy than the dining room, so easy to catch up with friends. Highly recommended.
