    Overview

    This second-generation ground floor restaurant space is designed for full-service dining, with upscale interior finishes throughout. The location’s prior identity as a well-known seafood concept supports continuity for restaurateurs seeking an established restaurant buildout.

    The property is positioned at the intersection of California and Battery Streets in the Financial District. Frontage faces the iconic San Francisco cable-car line running along California Street, and nearby BART and Muni stations provide convenient transit access.

    The combination of a restaurant-ready interior and high-visibility frontage makes the space a strong fit for operators looking to serve office-area customers and capture street-level activity from one of the city’s most recognized transit routes. Proximity to established dining destinations such as Tadich Grill, Wayfare Tavern, Pabu, Holbrook House, and Schroeder’s may also support a tenant mix aimed at business dining and after-work traffic.
