Trident (The), San Francisco

The building housing the upscale Trident has a wealth of history to enrich the fine dining experience to be found here. Built in 1898, it is still replete with the elegance of that bygone age with its rich redwood paneling, mural on the ceiling and ornate decorative motifs. It almost distracts from the spectacular view of San Francisco and the Bay. Its many incarnations include a cool jazz club frequented by Hendrix and Joplin in the 1960s. In 1980 it was replaced by Horizon restaurant, however, today it is back to its former self. The atmosphere is far more sedate today with contemporary Californian cuisine such as the delectable calamari appetizer served up by an efficient wait staff. Locals and tourists alike can be found here, dining on crab cakes or sitting on the deck to enjoy the view with a martini.
