Top Hatters Kitchen and Bar is a modern neighborhood restaurant, that has secured a place on the SF Chronicle's top 100 list and has been honored with a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. We serve an eclectic mix of rustic made-from-scratch dishes, celebrating the wonderful textures that make up our neighborhoods. We offer a mingling of small and large plates, meant to be shared, always nuanced and inspired by what we harvest from our neighboring small farms. Our food is approachable, eschewing complicated names, and bohemian in spirit as we are nonconforming and unconventional—sophisticated only in the way we can weave different ethnic influences and ingredients together.

Festive, fun vibe with good food, drinks and service. What more could you want over the holidays? A bit pricey and lots of stairs though.

The pork belly sliders, caesar salad, pizza and wild boar ragu were outstanding. The gnocchi so, so. We thought the lemon cake was quite dry and overpriced at $14. And the aperitif was tasty but hardly two sips worth. Not a great wine selection. Service very friendly and gracious. We booked an early 5:15 dinner in the patio as we have a two-year-old. We sat at the far back at the fire table and my grandson was enchanted and also able to walk around a bit without disturbing other diners. Everyone was very accommodating. Highly recommend Babette!
