Founded by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, PlumpJack Cafe gets a built-in share of buzz and chatter. However, the restaurant's elegant atmosphere and creative local menu hold their own against the flash of celebrity. Seasonal menus present twice-cooked, braised veal shoulder osso bucco, pan-seared day boat scallops and sautéed local petrale sole. They're richly highlighted by the carefully chosen yet affordably priced wine selections, which showcase California vintages and include a number of by-the-glass options.
