A little French, a little Mediterranean, a little local, the menu at this cozy-meets-posh Potrero Hill restaurant (owned by Potrero Hill local Michelle Hughes) attracts locals, regulars, and daters who want romantic but not over-the-top. Deep red wine-colored walls blending seamlessly with cushions of the same color--feels a bit like the red velvet inside of a heart-shaped box--with bistro-size two- and four-tops, plus a pressed copper bar and a large booth in the back. Rich small plates like bone marrow w/ pickled chanterelles, watercress and Cabernet reduction, or slow roasted pork belly w/ trotters, De Puy lentils, and Anchor Steam Porter foam are almost meals unto themselves, while light/fresh entress such as halibut with arugula and cherry tomatoes are simple seasonal cooking at it's best.

This is a great local restaurant. I love the owners and staff - and food! It has a limited menu, but what can you expect in a small restaurant. Each dish is carefully prepared and once you find your favorite, you will come back over and over just for the one dish. Mine is the seared ahi.

I?ve been here before and each time, I have had a very pleasant dining experience. On top of that, did you know this restaurant is teaming up with StreetSmart4kids? It?s actually really cool what they?re doing. I just heard about how SS4K is a nonprofit organization that helps underprivileged teens stay healthy. They are running their ?Dine Out and Donate? campaign here (as well as approx. 70 other restaurants in SF) during October and early November. After having a fabulous dining experience, just fill out the donation form when paying the check (minimum donation $3). This is perfect for people like me, who love to eat out all the time and also like to give back to the community. Check it out for yourself on the StreetSmart4Kids website!

We used to love coming here for the lamb tagine and friendly service. Both are gone now from this restaurant. The new menu is trying too hard, and fails to be anything other than mediocre. The new lamb dish is not nearly as good as the tagine was. The chicken is greasy, bland, and served with a sauce that tastes like Campbell's canned cream soup. The polenta has some nice flavors, but is soupy and has some strange white foam that is maybe trying to be fancy, but really is just kind of gross.

The Details on Baraka

When to Go:

For a very reasonably priced $25 ($35 with wine pairing), you can enjoy a prix fixe menu with numerous choices that's available Sun-Wed 5:30-6:30pm and Thurs-Sat 5:30-6 pm.

Where to Sit:

The little alcoves that flank the entry are cozy, and some offer stunning views of the city, but there's also a large, semi-private, pillow-lined booth in the back--ask if it's available when you make your reservation.

Parking:

Finding a parking spot isn't the nightmare here that it is in other parts of the city, but if you plan on enjoying a glass (or three) of wine or want to take the green route, Muni bus No. 22 stops just steps from the front door.
