Nite Trip: A Bar Reviews
Do not delay. Get yourself to Daytrip as soon as possible. The food is fantastic, the service is fantastic, the wines are fantastic. Take some friends, you will want to order and share everything on the menu! Didn't get many photos because we were eating to voraciously.
I recommend coming here with a group in order to get the most from the menu and your money. We were a group of 6 and were able to order everything on the menu except the cheese and the dessert and had a bottle of wine and came in at a reasonable price each. The wine choices are excellent and we had a great dry orange with our food. The food was good, but I'd say the only standouts for me were the focaccia and anchovy and the celery salad.

One of my favorite new spots in the bay. The variety of flavors and the creativity of the cuisine is impressive. I applaud the chefs for trying new ideas and mixing bold flavors together. The gazpacho, okra and the brisket were my favorites.
Daytrip provides a lively and fun atmosphere for dining, with a small but charming space that has a LA-inspired vibe. The staff is friendly, though service can sometimes be a bit sloppy, with struggles in tracking orders and occasional mix-ups, including serving the wrong main dish despite prior discussion. The food is very good, featuring creative choices and unexpected flavors. The celery salad, miso pasta, and focaccia are some of the standout dishes, with the celery salad living up to the hype and offering a delightful combination of fresh, sharp flavors. Other memorable dishes include the rockfish dip and the pavlova, though some elements, like the meringue, could be a little softer for easier eating. Some dishes involve lengthy processes, such as fermentation, which create fun and unique flavors, like the perfectly cooked carrots and the house-cultured butter mussels. The menu often rotates its stars, keeping the experience fresh. A highlight is the wine program curated by Askari, offering interesting and delicious bottles like the Tamellini 'Soave' DOC 2021 Garganega, which pairs well with many dishes. The outdoor dining on Telegraph is relaxed and pleasant. Overall, Daytrip is a spot where top-notch fried chicken and sophisticated crudo sit comfortably side by side, making it a place that feels both special and casual. The concept of "special occasion casual" is well executed, drawing a diverse crowd from young adults to locals of all ages. Despite some service hiccups and prices that may require a bit of a spend, it remains a destination restaurant that offers a memorable experience—more than just a meal, it's a lively and joyful place to visit before it closes.
