Park Tavern on Washington Square San Francisco

Park Tavern sits on Stockton Street, just steps away from the green of Washington Square Park. It is a fifteen-minute walk from the base of Coit Tower, putting the dining room at the centre of one of the city's most storied patches of pavement.

The restaurant serves French-leaning seafood and farm-to-table plates in a room that runs smart and elegant. While the North Beach vicinity is crowded with red-sauce joints and high-volume tourist spots, this place operates with a different register. It is for those who want the local geography without the frantic energy of the surrounding blocks. The proximity to the park gives it a calmer pulse than the nearby Lombard Street corridor, making the space an obvious choice when you want a quiet seat in a neighbourhood that rarely stays still.
