One Market San Francisco, Still Thriving After 25 Years

Located steps from The Ferry Building, One Market features New American cuisine in an elegant setting. Opened in 1993 by Bradley Ogden, the restaurant features a large open contemporary dining room housing large windows, a big mural of a market, earth tone color schemes with wood floors and bar seating overlooking all of the kitchen action.

Choose to sit at the back to watch the food prep or relax in a cozy banquette or table.

Appetizers include corn soup with ramp pesto and bay shrimp, butternut squash soup with crab and black garlic, traditional Caesar salad, Ahi tuna and blood orange tartare with yuzu; housemade charcuterie; Kampachi crudo with green apples and ponzu and grilled octopus with chorizo puree. I received a sampling of appetizers including a delicious arancini.

I also received a special pasta dish of beggars purses with a chestnut sauce which was amazing.

Main courses include a bacon wrapped tenderloin; pan seared red snapper with vegetables; potato gnocchi with mushrooms; braised beef cheeks; Alaskan halibut; scallops with celery root risotto; filet mignon with peppercorn sauce; swordfish with a meyer lemon gremolata vinaigrette and Ahi tuna with beech mushroom escabeche.

Sides include roasted cauliflower, mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach with garlic chips, roasted mushrooms, roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and their signature chick pea fries with harissa aioli.

Desserts are decadent and include a roasted apple pie with cranberry sorbet, chocolate toffee almond crunch cake, Bradleys’ butterscotch pudding, a vanilla bean and cappuccino crème brulee, mint espresso cheesecake, chocolate cremeux cake and a pear tarte tatin.
