He opened <a href=\"https:\/\/www.precitasocial.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Precita Social<\/a> at the end of summer 2025, a place to honor his nostalgic side with the same careful technique and precision. Though more low-key than Lutes\u2019s nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/sf.eater.com\/2023\/1\/12\/23552123\/best-octopus-san-francisco\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">octopus<\/a> and uni creme brulee-laden outfit, Precita Social\u2019s menu maintains a level of class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">The ambiance and interior at this restaurant matches much of what came before it: the hallowed site of <a href=\"https:\/\/sf.eater.com\/openings\/203913\/precita-social-new-opening-san-francisco-bernal-heights\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">former stunner Marlena<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sf.eater.com\/2023\/10\/6\/23906255\/foliage-new-restaurant-open-san-francisco\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Foliage from chef Mo Bejar<\/a>. That looks like handsome blues and browns, little succulents on surfaces and windows providing views of Precita Park. Wear something nice, but don\u2019t overdo it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Parking in this slice of the neighborhood can get a bit tricky. On a busy night, it may dry up quickly. Aim for up the hill by the nearby church rather than along the park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s a shame that so many San Franciscans snooze right through their city\u2019s finest restaurant neighborhoods, but Greg&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57110,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[28829,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-57109","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco","8":"tag-dining-reports","9":"tag-san-francisco","10":"tag-san-francisco-headlines","11":"tag-san-francisco-news","12":"tag-sf","13":"tag-sf-headlines","14":"tag-sf-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57109\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
