“See on map #3 in 2025 San Francisco GenreAmerican Price$$$ For nearly 14 years, Rich Table has been a paragon of hospitality and a stalwart of thrilling, intrinsically delicious cooking — a formula for staying perpetually booked. The restaurant’s defining dishes continue to stun, from crackly doughnuts powdered in porcini mushrooms to pasta coated in luxurious uni butter. Address 199 Gough St., San Francisco Have you been?

“Husband-and-wife team Sarah and Evan Rich book up their restaurant weeks in advance. Getting a walk-in seat or last-minute reservation at [Rich Table](http://sf.eater.com/places/rich-table) to try the legendary porcini donuts, sardine chips, salads, and farm-fresh pastas is always a challenge, but might ease a little this week. * [Book a table](https://reservations.safegraph.com/reserve/219732?utm_source=safegraph&utm_campaign=poi) * [199 Gough St, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Rich%C2%A0Table%2C%20199%20Gough%20St%2C%20San%20Francisco%2C%20CA%2094102%2C%20USA) * [(415) 355-9085](tel:4153559085) * [Visit website](http://richtablesf.com/) ![](ht”

“There is a beloved “New-American Restaurant Serving Californian Fare” in every neighborhood. The Mission has Foreign Cinema, The Richmond has Pearl, NoPa has NOPA, and Hayes Valley has Rich Table. Each holds themselves to similar standards of service, presentation, pricepoint, and seasonality. In spring 2025, the wild King salmon crudo with sorrel, rhubarb, and olive oil is a front runner dish. Rich Table does this genre justice and Hayes Valley is lucky to have it. * [Book a table](https://reservations.safegraph.com/reserve/219732?utm_source=safegraph&utm_campaign=poi) * [199 Gough St, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Rich%C2%A0Table%2C%20199%20G”

“Known for its porcini doughnuts and sardine chips (which are worth the hype -- go ahead and order them if they happen to not be on your tasting menu), Rich Table's 12-course $89 chef-choice tasting menu includes dishes like foie gras torchon and Maine lobster. It's a good thing it's super-casual... you may be able to squeak by with wearing a much-needed elastic waistband. Reservations at Rich Table can be tough to come by, but there are about a dozen bar seats for walk-ins. If you're going that route, then get there early, and if you want to bring a bottle of something-something, the corkage fee will add another $30 to your bill, or you can pay the extra $50 for the wine pairing.”
