Tadich Grill, a160-year-old institution, still serves up impeccably fresh, simply prepared fish and American fare in a handsome old brass-and-mahogany setting. Skip the fancy-sounding specials at this Financial District restaurant and opt for such sublimely simple seafood fare as the hearty Coney Island chowder, a fresh and tangy Dungeness crab Louis, mesquite-grilled rex or petrale sole, or sand dabs pan-fried in butter. The oyster-and-bacon Hangtown fry makes an excellent late breakfast. The desserts are largely undistinguished, but the all-California wine list is serviceable and affordable.
It's Dungeness crab season, guys! The waters opened up for commercial and non-commercial fishermen a few weeks ago, but we just got around to having our first taste of the sweet, sweet crustacean at S... More »

Little encountered beyond the Pacific Coast, the "king of salads" isthe best and simplest showcase for our favorite native crustacean,Dungeness crab. In its most classic state, crab Louis is composed ofshredded romaine lettuce, big chunks of crabmeat, and a tureen of Louisdressing on the side, nothing more. Some might ring the platter withasparagus spears or stuffed olives or hard-boiled eggs or pickledbeets, but at the Tadich, such ornamentation is disregarded. A bed ofcrunchy greens... More »
Legend has it that back during the Gold Rush, in the boomtown of Placerville (also known as Hangtown, for its frequent rough-justice necktie parties), a prospector grimy with the mud and dirt of the Sierra foothills yet nouveau riche staggered into the first restaurant he saw and ordered "the most expensive thing on the menu." In those days, in that place, oysters were a barely rumored delicacy and eggs were a buck apiece, so the two were combined into a dish that has since become a Northern... More »
We get a thrill every time we walk into Tadich's: It looks to us just like a restaurant should, from its carefully maintained, gleaming dark wood to its sparkling white-tiled floors. We like the curly-backed bentwood chairs, the art deco light fixtures, the clean aprons on the waitstaff. The building at 240 California St. has housed Tadich Grill only since 1967, but photographs of the previous location, 545 Clay (since 1912; the restaurant has moved several times since it opened in 1849),...
