San Francisco's 3 Hottest New Restaurants You Need To Try!

In this short YouTube segment, Austin Klar highlights three brand‑new restaurant openings slated for October in San Francisco. The first is Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak returning to the Westin St. Francis in Union Square, now featuring Steph Curry’s Eighth Rule bar. The second is Arkay, a 220‑seat, 8,500‑sq‑ft venue in the Ferry Building that takes over the former Slanted Door space and is led by Chef Alex Hong and Operations Director Joel Wilkerson of the Michelin‑starred Sorrel. The third is Via Aurelia, an 8,000‑sq‑ft restaurant opened by the Che Fico team at the Mission Rock waterfront development, named after the historic Roman road. Klar frames these openings as signs of San Francisco’s culinary comeback and asks viewers to share which venue excites them most.
