“See on map Added in 2026 San Francisco GenreCalifornian Price$$$ Ernest’s initial success was a product of misfortune. One year after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, few new restaurants were opening, but chef-owner Brandon Rice didn’t really have a choice — after months of costly delay, Ernest had to launch, even if he could only serve 10 outdoor tables a night.

“Ernest is impressive, so this is where you bring someone to impress them. And now is the time to go — chef Brandon Rice and his team are cooking like they have something to prove. Dishes dance between flavors and cuisines, Ernest’s desserts are some of the more impressive in the city, and those Parker House rolls are worth the hype. * [1890 Bryant Street, CA, 94110](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Ernest%2C%201890%20Bryant%20Street%2C%20CA%2C%2094110) * [(415) 829-2961](tel:4158292961) * [Visit website](https://www.ernestsf.com/) ![Food at a restaurant.](https://platform.sf.eater.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25976973/IMG_8171.jpg?quality=90”

“Chef Brandon Rice’s sleek Mission District restaurant doesn’t exactly offer a tasting menu but there is a choice to Let the Kitchen Cook For You, which costs $99 per person and means your table sees four courses and damn near every item on the menu. It’s a fun, family-style experience so everyone in your party has to be willing to go in — but you’ll share a giant spread including dishes like gorgeous ikura-topped sushi rice, a flaky scallion pancake with chicken liver mousse, succulent pork ribs, and an irresistible soft serve sundae for dessert. * [1890 Bryant St Suite 100, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Ernest%2C%201890%20Bryant%20St%20Suite%2”
