The story
Liholiho Yacht Club, a family-owned restaurant on Sutter Street in San Francisco, has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for its distinctive approach to American-Asian cuisine. The restaurant’s name evokes a spirit of adventure and community, a feeling that carries through every aspect of the dining experience.
The team behind Liholiho Yacht Club emphasizes intention and collaboration in all their decisions. They invite guests to read about their core values and appreciate the support that keeps their family-owned restaurant strong. The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, with a focus on genuine hospitality.
The menu is predominantly gluten-free by nature and celiac-friendly, with no cross-contamination. It changes regularly, reflecting the kitchen’s seasonal approach. The restaurant saves plenty of tables for walk-ins, alongside its reservation system.
For larger gatherings, the Gen-Gen Room offers a private, closed-door dining space hidden within the restaurant. This room seats 10 to 18 guests (up to 20 cozily) and is available Monday through Saturday. The experience begins with an optional cocktail mingle, followed by a seated family-style dinner curated by the chef, where each guest chooses their own entree. The evening concludes at 10 pm, with dinner beginning no later than 7 pm.
The Michelin Recommended award recognizes Liholiho Yacht Club as a restaurant offering quality cooking worth a stop. This accolade, combined with the restaurant's family-owned ethos and creative American-Asian fare, makes it a distinctive destination in San Francisco’s dining landscape.
