Chef Tyler Florence brings his passion for high quality and style to San Francisco with his new flagship restaurant, Wayfare Tavern. A classic San Francisco Tavern featuring authentic American dishes inspired by local cuisine at the turn of the 20th century, the menu ranges from classic comforts to rustic delicacies. The beverage menu features locally-sourced wines including a selection of Florence's own label, quality draft beers and organic root beer as well as classic Victorian-era cocktails.All three floors of the restaurant have been designed keeping historical accuracy in mind making Wayfare Tavern reminiscent of a Victorian parlor and an Edwardian men's club, where anything goes from black-tie to blue jeans. Pull up a stool to the Chef's Counter at the open kitchen and look on as Chef prepares your lunch or head to the Library and Billiard Room for a game of pool. Wayfare Tavern is a truly unparalleled dining experience translated from a century ago. Photo: John Lee.

    The worst parts were the best parts and the best parts haven’t caught up to language. At Spruce our tongues taste better than they can speak and are rollicked dumbfounded in joy. The endless train of kind folks that survey this wonderland never failed to show up in education as well as concern and empathy. All in all it was a respite that elevated the human condition with a masterful taste and beauty.

    The ambiance was great. Obviously very popular, it was loud and busy. The service was exceptional--it was great to see so many people working, busy and providing wonderful service. The food was delicious. Good choices. The prices were high, but for the mot part, provided value so that it was worth it. Beautiful restaurant and lvely dining experience. I'd return again.

    This was our first time at Dalida, we went for my husband's birthday. We found out about it on Check Please Bay Area and wanted to try it. The hostess was very gracious when we showed up late due to traffic. We were seated at the chef's counter and it was THE best seat in the house. Our server was incredible and always around. Jerry the Wine manager was extremely knowledgeable about their extensive wine lists and how to pair up our preferences with the food we were ordering. We had a delicious crisp, dry white from Greece (forgot to take a pic of the label so I don't remember the varietal) but similar to an Albariño. A few of the stand out dishes were the Breaking Bread appetizer, Lamb pasta, and the Trout. We had a chance to thank Chef Laura Ozyilmaz in person as she fluttered about the kitchen and dining room. Overall we loved it and would go back again.
