"Verdict: Like a 2000s pop playlist, Rich Table never gets old. This Hayes Valley spot has only gotten better over the years, and we have full faith it’ll still be packed nightly even after 3D-printed cars become a thing. The frequently changing dishes excite us every time we come back, including bread with actual Douglas fir infused into it, and salty potato chips fried with entire sardines slotted through the middle. Reservations are released 45 days in advance at midnight on Resy. But you can always try the bar, where they hold spots for walk-ins every day." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
