Greens, https://greensrestaurant.com/, is a vegetarian restaurant that was started in San Francisco in 1979 and it continues to serve incredible diversity and quality of vegetarian food with vegan options.
The restaurant has a great location in Fort Mason on the San Francisco waterfront, with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands. The address is: 2 Marina Boulevard, Fort Mason, Building A, with plenty of parking just steps from the front door.
The menu is comprised of small plates and first courses that are like tapas and great for sharing, plus main courses. Every dish that our group had was excellent, as were the deserts. I highly recommend the blistered peppers, grilled peaches and Johnny Cakes. The main courses that I tried were the Mesquite Grilled Tofu and Saffron Risotto, which were great. Many dishes are marked with a “VP”, meaning vegan possible and there are many “GFP”, gluten-free possible dishes as well.
This is definitely a restaurant to visit with friends, so you can share plates and try as many dishes as possible.
You can start the afternoon with a pre-meal stroll along the Marina, just next to Fort Mason and/or visit The Interval, right next door to Greens for a cocktail.
I highly recommend Greens, even if you are not a vegetarian/vegan!
