Side A is a restaurant in San Francisco that has built a strong reputation for excellent food, a cool vibe, and attentive service. The space features a sound system and a DJ spinning old school vinyl records, which adds to the experience throughout the night. The staff are friendly, caring, prompt, and warm, and they are happy to offer recommendations.
The menu offers a range of dishes that have impressed guests. The smoked bone marrow cheeseburger is served with a side of jus and bone marrow with caramelized red onions, and the fries are some of the best. Other standout dishes include the buffalo confit duck leg, bone marrow with onion jam and bread, gnocchi with short rib, black cod, risotto, garbage salad, chicken cutlet, mussels, and curly fries. The gnocchi and garbage salad are frequently highlighted, and the carrot cake and chocolate cake are crazy good. Portions are quite large, so guests should be mindful.
Side A is a great wine bar and a fun weekend spot. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant fills up by peak dinnertime. It is one of the best dining experiences for the cost in SF, and guests cannot wait to return.
