Billingsgate

A combination oyster bar and seafood shop in Noe Valley, this concept from the former chefs behind S.F. wholesale seafood company Four Star Seafood and Provisions will highlight local fish and specialty seafood that can be hard to find outside of highend restaurants. Located next to a small park where a farmers’ market takes place each Saturday, Billingsgate is named for a historic London fish market. The menu will include madetoorder ceviche with chocolate clams from Baja and griddled brioche served with lobster or shrimp salad. The dishes, which will range from $12 to $25, will be available for takeout at first and later at a 27seat dining area surrounded by reclaimed brick and pendant lights. Owners Ismael Macias and Adrian Hoffman, who met while employed as chefs in the Lark Creek Restaurant Group, are also working on nailing down a space for a second location of Billingsgate in the East Bay. —T.D.
