Memorable meals require more than a delicious recipe. While the Bay Area is blessed to be home to a smorgasbord of exceptional eateries, only a select few offer the intimate privilege of being able to watch from a front-row seat as chefs work to prepare your meal. Dining at a chef’s table allows guests the rare chance to witness the process by which raw ingredients become unforgettable feasts, and occasionally, even allows diners to pay their respects to these amazing cooks face to face.

By far the busiest stretch of sand in all of San Francisco, Baker Beach is a bustling weekend destination thanks to its convenient location, bountiful amenities, and jaw-dropping views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands. A popular spot for birthday parties, picnics, and canine get-togethers, it’s always a sight to see the entire expanse of Baker Beach full and buzzing with beachgoers.
