Best Special Occasion Restaurants in San Francisco, Panama City

✓ 3 hand-verified restaurants

San Francisco's three special occasion restaurants offer distinct styles for different kinds of celebration. Intimo for the most intimate and personal tasting-menu approach — the right choice when the occasion demands a chef's full attention. Espeziak for a convivial, festive Spanish tapas evening when the group wants something abundant and social. La Tapa del Coco for Caribbean-inflected cooking that's as fun as it is accomplished.
