Top Restaurants in San Francisco

I think it’s best to make a reservation, especially on weekends. I walked in during peak dinner hours and ended up waiting almost 30 minutes, which wasn’t fun after a long day of exploring!

I recommend checking out the happy hour specials, usually from 3-5 PM. You can save a bit and still enjoy some great seafood! I had their clam chowder, and wow, it was delicious at a good price.

One thing I’d suggest is to go for the daily special! The chef's choice was great when I went, and it’s often a dish that isn’t on the regular menu. And make sure to save room for dessert – totally worth it!

I recommend making your reservation at least a month in advance. It gets fully booked quickly, and I didn’t realize just how popular it was until I tried to do it last minute

I think it’s smart to check for any specials or menu changes beforehand. The seasonal ingredients mean some favorites might not be available on your visit!

I suggest you make a reservation well in advance—Benu fills up fast! We were glad we booked a month ahead to snag the perfect time slot.
