Seafood, Raw Bar · $$

Every coastal town needs a go-to raw bar. And this new seafood pavilion, in a bright, high-ceilinged space in Pacific Heights, is a lovely option. There are seafood towers and raw oysters on the half shell, of course, but also baked oysters (the one with miso and bone marrow is the move) and an airy take on onion dip (caviar addition optional). The lobster roll comes either “hot,” with the meat bathed in melted butter, or “cold,” with the meat tossed with mayonnaise. And while East Coasters will recognize these as Connecticut- and Maine-style, 3,000 miles to the west such regional rivalries fall away. Besides, they both go equally well with a glass of crisp grüner on tap.
