Located in a renovated turn of the century artist's warehouse in an industrial area of San Francisco, Anchor & Hope recently made Travel & Leisure's list of Best Seafood Restaurants in the US, thanks to chef Vernon Morales, who has done stints at El Bulli and Restaurant Daniel. The nautical chic interior is also well worth a look.
