SF Restaurant Week is a 9-day celebration of our world-class dining community when frugal foodies get to eat their way through nearly 130 restaurants around San Francisco. Participating restaurants will offer special prix-fixe menus to showcase their passion for sharing great food with diners.
Eat at four or more participating restaurants and you’ll be entered to win a $1,200 dining credit to enjoy all year.
During SF Restaurant Week, restaurants thoughtfully create prix-fixe menus that highlight their best known dishes, or feature a new menu item they are testing, or just showcase a sample of the food they love to cook. Many menus feature a discount or special offer.

COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION: MISSION BAY COMMONS
MISSION BAY PARKs NOTIFICATION
Mission bay commons
Beginning Monday, January 14, 2018
During rainy season
Dear Neighbors and Residents,
You might have noticed the lawns at Mission Bay Commons are wet and in some areas, very muddy. We are going to barricade small parts of the lawns, where there is mud specifically, to let the lawns drain during the rainy season. We are working on a longer term solution to the pooling of water. Please be patient with us as we work on solving the issue.
YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE PARKS. As always, please leash your pups.
