Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables in San Francisco / Bay Area: Where to Use the $300 Dining Credit

The Bay Area list is one of the more interesting Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables markets because it mixes San Francisco classics, Oakland restaurants, wine-country-style fine dining, and Michelin-heavy tasting menus. The tradeoff is geography: a great East Bay or Sonoma County reservation is not the same thing as an easy San Francisco dinner.

Last checked: July 8, 2026. Restaurant participation can change.

San Francisco / Bay Area Restaurants Currently on the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables List

Popoca

A Salvadoran-inspired Oakland restaurant built around smoke, masa, and Cali-Salvadoran cooking. Good East Bay pick if you want something distinctive without defaulting to a steakhouse or tasting menu.

Burdell

Chef Geoff Davis’s Temescal restaurant, rooted in Black foodways and family recipes. Strong East Bay option if you want a personal neighborhood restaurant rather than a formal fine-dining room.

Angler San Francisco

A Saison Hospitality seafood restaurant on the Embarcadero with hearth cooking and Bay views. Good fit for a nicer San Francisco dinner, especially if you care about location and wine.

Rich Table

A Hayes Valley neighborhood restaurant from Evan and Sarah Rich, known for seasonal California cooking with fine-dining technique. One of the easier San Francisco picks to recommend for a normal nice dinner.

Niku Steakhouse

A Japanese-influenced steakhouse in the Design District, with dry aging, wagyu, and wood fire. Best for readers who already wanted a steakhouse; the bill can move quickly.

The Progress

The sister restaurant to State Bird Provisions, with a shareable dinner-party style menu. Good pick if you want a lively San Francisco meal rather than a quiet tasting menu.

Bodega SF

A modern version of the longtime Bodega Bistro family story, focused on Northern Vietnamese dishes. Useful downtown pick if you want something more flexible than a tasting menu.

Californios

A three-Michelin-star California Mexican tasting-menu restaurant from chef Val Cantú. Incredible if it was already on your list, but the credit only offsets a small part of the meal.

little shucker

A Pacific Heights seafood spot from The Snug team, with oysters, seafood, wine, and a neighborhood feel. Good option if you want the credit to go toward dinner rather than a marathon tasting menu.

Gary Danko

A long-running San Francisco fine-dining institution with James Beard history and a polished tasting-menu format. Better for a planned special occasion than a casual credit burn.

Saison Cellar & Wine Bar - San Francisco

A Saison Hospitality wine bar with serious bottles, flights, and French-leaning food. Good fit if your plan is wine and snacks, but check the bill before assuming the credit covers much.

Aziza

A Richmond District Moroccan restaurant from Mourad Lahlou with a long local following. Useful neighborhood option if you want a distinctive dinner away from the downtown core.

Saison

A high-end Saison Hospitality tasting-menu restaurant known for fire, seafood, and wine. Treat the credit as a small rebate on a serious fine-dining bill.

Hilda and Jesse

A North Beach restaurant with brunch, dinner, and tasting-menu energy. Better for readers who want something more personality-driven than classic fine dining.

Nisei

A Michelin-starred restaurant from chef David Yoshimura, blending Japanese technique with California ingredients. Strong fine-dining pick if you want tasting-menu structure.

Selby's

A clubby Peninsula restaurant from the Bacchus group with steakhouse and American fine-dining touches. Useful for Peninsula readers, but not a convenient San Francisco pick.

O' by Claude Le Tohic

A Michelin-starred French fine-dining restaurant in Union Square from chef Claude Le Tohic. The $150 half-year credit helps with a polished tasting-menu-style night, but this is still a high-end bill.

Chez Noir

A Carmel restaurant with Michelin recognition and a coastal California feel. Great if you are already in Monterey/Carmel, but it is not a practical San Francisco dinner.

PRESS Restaurant

A Napa Valley restaurant known for California ingredients and a major Napa wine program. Strong wine-country use case, but only if your trip already takes you to St. Helena.

Commis

A two-Michelin-star Oakland tasting-menu restaurant from James Syhabout. The $150 half-year credit helps, but this is still a higher-end meal rather than a cheap way to use the credit.

House of Prime Rib

A long-running San Francisco institution built around prime rib, tableside service, and a classic old-school dining room. Good use if you want a recognizable local staple rather than a tasting menu.

State Bird Provisions

A Michelin-starred San Francisco favorite known for its creative small-plate format. Strong pick if you can find a time that works and want something more fun than formal.

Dalida

A Presidio Mediterranean restaurant from Laura and Sayat Ozyilmaz, with park setting and shareable dishes. Good fit if you want a Bay Area dinner with views and a less formal format.

Maria Isabel

An Oakland Mexican restaurant that adds another East Bay option to the list. Useful if you want a neighborhood dinner and do not want the credit pushing you into San Francisco.

Ernest

A Mission District restaurant with a lively room and creative modern American cooking. Good San Francisco pick if you want a current restaurant without a formal tasting-menu setup.

The Happy Crane

A newer San Francisco restaurant blending Chinese and California ideas. Best as a curiosity pick if the menu already appeals to you; check current details before booking.

The Anchovy Bar

A seafood and wine spot from the State Bird team, focused on anchovies, oysters, and coastal ingredients. Good fit for a lighter dinner or wine-forward meal.

Frances

A small Castro restaurant from chef Melissa Perello, known for seasonal California cooking. One of the better neighborhood-style options if you want a polished dinner without going huge.

Allora

A Sacramento restaurant with Italian and seafood focus. Useful if you are in Sacramento, but Bay Area readers should not treat it as a nearby San Francisco option.

SingleThread Restaurant & Inn

A three-Michelin-star Healdsburg destination with farm-driven tasting menus and inn-style hospitality. Amazing for a planned wine-country trip; not a casual way to use $150.

Notable Picks

Best San Francisco classic

House of Prime Rib and Gary Danko are the clearest classic San Francisco names.

Best East Bay pick

Commis is the fine-dining splurge; Popoca and Burdell are more approachable East Bay picks.

Best Michelin option

Californios, Saison, SingleThread, Commis, Nisei, O’ by Claude Le Tohic, State Bird Provisions, and Chez Noir are the award-heavy names to check first.

Best steak / prime rib option

House of Prime Rib is the local classic; Niku is the modern steakhouse; Selby’s works if the Peninsula is convenient.

Best neighborhood dinner

Rich Table, Frances, Bodega SF, Aziza, Ernest, The Anchovy Bar, and little shucker are easier to fit into a normal dinner plan.

Final Thoughts

San Francisco / Bay Area looks like a strong market for using the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables credit, as long as the eligible restaurants overlap with places you would have considered anyway.

The $300 annual amount is useful only if the participating restaurants match how you already dine. If the list pushes you into a restaurant you would not otherwise choose, discount the value.

Before booking, check the current OpenTable Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables page for San Francisco / Bay Area and make sure the restaurant is still participating.
