Tomales Bay spreads out beyond the windows of this sun-soaked oyster bar, where Hog Island's daily catch—briny shells, steamed mussels in spicy tomato, a silken clam chowder—arrives still tasting of local water. Grilled oysters wear barbecue char or garlic butter with equal grace. The setting does half the work; the seafood does the rest.

  91. Rank 91. Flores

    Mexican

    Patterned tiles and bright murals set the scene at this Cow Hollow mainstay, where young families and Marina regulars crowd in for handmade corn tortillas wrapped around tender carnitas and oozy huitlacoche quesadilla. The kitchen treats Mexican cooking with seriousness—generous portions and modest prices suggest ambition beyond the usual neighborhood cantina.

  97. Michael Tusk's wine bar near the Pyramid trades in seasonal French bistro cooking that pivots around impeccable seafood and produce—razor clams with celery and Meyer lemon, a pâté studded with pistachios. The crowd at the bar and counter suggests the kitchen's skill runs deeper than the menu's apparent simplicity.

  99. Balboa Cafe trades in the currency of Cow Hollow visibility, a room where the crowd matters as much as what fills the glass. The espresso martini arrives with the confidence of a drink that knows exactly what it is.
