The Rotunda
The Rotunda at Neiman Marcus in Union Square is one of the city’s most unique dining spots—sit under a stunning stained glass ceiling, and drink afternoon tea or champagne.

Palm Court is a stately RH restaurant in the Dogpatch that’s all style, no substance. But hey, at least you can get dressed up and have a nice glass of wine on the rooftop.

The Pawn Shop is a “secret” tapas bar in SoMa with surprisingly good food hidden behind a fake pawn shop
