Woodward’s Garden is a romantic restaurant in the Mission District, San Francisco. The atmosphere somehow encompasses both the softness of a romantic European hideaway and the savvy of an under-the-radar urban hot spot. The seasonal menu is a treasure chest of hearty, straightforward food. Salads sparkle with vibrant, well-balanced ingredients from heirloom tomatoes and artisanal cheeses to crisp asparagus and explosive bits of lemon. With a menu that changes weekly, you can’t always go back for that fork-tender lamb shank reclining on a bed of polenta and a pillow of crème fraîche, but some fashion of tender roast meat will be ready to test your taste buds. Or try the salmon that may be paired with plump white beans and fragrant herbs or an earthy mushroom risotto. Comfy no-frills desserts are definitely worth leaving room for.
