On of the best patios I have seen at a restaurant. The inspiration for the design of this space comes from the long history of the Phoenix Hotel which was a hang out for indie and rock legends like Pearl Jam and the Chili Peppers. Sean and Isabel Manchester, along with Chip Conley (the innovative hotel chain owner, TED presenter, and author), created a cool and relaxing space that has lots of rock and roll peppered throughout – like the 10,000 albums along the walls. The poolside patio looks to be a perfect place to relax on a sunny day and catch up with friends around drinks. The modern touches and the polish on the space help to create a restaurant that is very cool and a place to check out while in San Francisco. I am currently planning a road trip honeymoon for September and this place will be on my list of places to go to – plus I need to find out what those orbs are around the pool.
