One of the main reasons people elect to move from the eternal summer of San Diego to eternal (California) winter of San Francisco, is the dining scene. I’m mostly talking about myself but maybe there are others out there like me? Let me know. Anyways, San Diego, or even LA for that matter, can’t compare to the revolving door of restaurants found in San Francisco. From Michelin-starred feasts to local pizza joints, I’ve been on a mission to try it all and share the best of the best that I’ve found so far.   There’s a fair share of fancy spots and even more casual ones, and plenty of happy hours because haven’t you heard? SF is the most expensive US city to live in. From date night hangs to parent-approved dinners to outdoor bars to bring friends to, there’s a little something for every dining need – all tried and reviewed by yours truly.

It's finally Friday but if you need plans that don't involve pizza or your couch, we hear you. We're happy to report on a new venue by day, wine club by night that has your Friday night sorted: Aprés. Serving natural wines, low ABV cocktails and elevated snacks, the wine bar is the perfect post work, pre weekend transition. It all goes down inside Cerf Club, a new venue in San Francisco that has already hosted events for brands like Aman. Cerf Club is actually the creation of San Francisco catering company, Stag Dining, who decided to open the venue and since it was imagined to be a gathering space for all, Aprés at Cerf Club was born. Here's the fun part: it's only open once a week on Fridays from 4-10pm. Casual yet lively, the beautifully executed space is welcoming, the team is knowledgable, and the food and drink offerings are unreal.  Our editor, Heather, recently popped in to Aprés to see what the buzz is about. She got a crash course in natural wine, sampled the snacky menu and took in the stunning space. Her top tip? Get the deviled eggs. Always get the deviled eggs. Read on for her full report on why your Friday night should be spent at Aprés.   Photography by David Dines
