Description
Calling a new restaurant a tavern when it's ensconced in the downtown Hilton is a bit of a stretch. Taverns were originally rustic drinking houses offering simple food and perhaps a bed for the night. But this is an Urban Tavern, apparent when you enter into its sleek, warmly lit space, creamy white with touches of earth-colored stone and wood. Not only is the Urban Tavern conveniently close to several of San Francisco's theater and concert venues, but its menu - which extends from the south of France into Spain - is also suitable for both full meals and grazing. The separate wine list is eclectic and interesting.
