ediblesf.com | 13 DINGLES PUBLIC HOUSE Dingles Public House brings a proper British pub to Hayes Valley. Tucked into the former Pläj space at the Inn at the Opera, the room feels immediately familiar, with British racing green walls, dark leather booths, quirky artwork, and a glowing fireplace. The menu does exactly what a pub menu should, starting with Scotch eggs with tender whites and jammy yolks, moving through flaky sausage rolls and fish and chips with tartar, curry sauce, and mushy peas, and landing on a deeply rich beef-and-Guinness pie finished with bone marrow. Sundays come with a roast beef and Yorkshire pudding included, as they should. With a proper pint in hand and a bar that encourages a second round, it’s unabashedly English and all the better for it. dinglespublichouse.com A PROPER PUB, DOWN TO THE MARROW From the team behind Dalida, Maria Isabel brings a contemporary Mexican point of view to Presidio Heights, grounded in chef Laura Ozyilmaz’s roots along Mexico’s Pacific coast. The menu draws from regions including Guerrero and Sinaloa, moving between seafoodforward coastal dishes and richer, chile-driven plates. Set in the former Ella’s American Kitchen, the space is split between a brighter, lively dining room and a darker, more intimate bar, offering two distinct ways to settle in and introducing a confident new voice to the city’s Mexican dining landscape. mariaisasbelsf.com MARIA ISABEL ALREADY ON OUR RADAR Photos—Jesse Cudworth Photos—Isabel Baer, Postcard Communications
