Restaurant · Modern Californian

Why we point you here

Modern Californian cooking that's charted on OAD for three consecutive years, worth building a night around.

San Francisco does Modern Californian with a particular ease, and Ernest has earned its place in that conversation—charted on OAD three years running. It's the kind of spot worth building a night around when you're after cooking that feels both of-the-moment and rooted in what the region does best.
