Wood-fired Californian neighborhood spot

Hours: Dinner daily plus weekend brunch; check the official hours before going
Address: 560 Divisadero St at Hayes St

A neighborhood place on Divisadero with its lights on late. A wood-fired oven and grill run at the back, and the menu shifts with the season and nearby farms. The big communal table takes walk-ins, so a solo diner ends up shoulder to shoulder with strangers. Weekend brunch runs midday.
