"If you haven’t guessed at this point, if a restaurant is lush and plant-filled, it's certainly on this guide. Another one is Blue Plate. The casual Bernal Heights spot is a neighborhood staple and has a charming backyard with ivy walls and plenty of greens. Soak in the patio while you dine on comfort food like fried chicken, smoked trout deviled eggs, black truffle risotto, or meatloaf." - julia chen 1, lani conway
