On September 29th, San Francisco moved to the “orange” tier of the state’s color-coded reopening plan, and was given the go-ahead to open for indoor dining at 25% capacity. Whether you’re ready to test the waters or are sticking with takeout for now, below you’ll find a list of restaurants that are officially open inside. If you’re not dining indoors right now, we’ve got guides for takeout and outdoor dining, too.
While we should still support restaurants in whatever way we can (by spending money at reopened restaurants, ordering takeout, and tipping well), independent restaurants will continue to permanently close their doors without substantial government assistance. So, consider taking a minute to fill out this automatic email builder to ask your rep to pass the Heroes Act - it includes the Restaurants Act, a $120 billion relief package that would support small and independent restaurants.
