Hayes Street Grill is a fish restaurant in San Francisco’s Civic Center district, across the street from Davies Symphony Hall and Nourse Auditorium, a block from the Opera House, SFJazz and City Hall.
We serve only sustainably harvested fish and shellfish and are certified by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Alliance.
Our produce comes from local farms: Mariquita, Everything Under the Sun, Brokaw, Hamada, Yerena, Chue’s, McGuiness, Alfieri, Bella Viva. Our meats and poultry come from sustainable producers.
Patricia Unterman recalls, “Richard Sander, Anne Haskell, Robert Flaherty and I opened the grill because in 1979 there simply wasn’t a good choice for dinner before the opera, ballet, or symphony. We wanted such a place ourselves, so we created a restaurant that would prepare unfussy food, casual enough to work before a performance, but substantial and tasty enough to be a main event. We drew inspiration from old San Francisco grills like Tadich and the old Jack’s, but we took the grill concept a step farther by seeking out local ingredients and cooking them in a modern style.” Currently Dick Sander runs the dining room and selects all the wine. Patricia Unterman oversees the kitchen with chef Rob Zaborny.
