"Capacity: 12-350 Foreign Cinema needs no introduction—the Californian restaurant in the Mission is a San Francisco classic. This place has been at it since 1999, and the central courtyard with string lights, a soft glow, and movies projected on the big walls have a lot to do with it. Various rooms are available for private events, including an art-filled gallery, and a mezzanine overlooking the main dining room. Or just book the entire place, which includes the use of the projector to play your movie of choice. " - lani conway
