Helmed by veteran chef Ian Friedman, Rainwater Grill reaps the harvest of local farms, serving a menu blooming with sustainable meat and seafood, as well as vegetarian and gluten-free grub. Like a disoriented greeting card, the tongue will wax poetic beneath the gorgonzola-and-bacon-stuffed inside out burger accompanied by hand-cut shoestring fries ($14). The Fisherman's Wharf seafood cioppino summons a whirlwind of sautéed clams, mussels, shrimp, and fresh fish, ceremoniously slathered in garlic, sautéed fennel, and fumé blanc ($24). Chanterelle mushrooms and family secrets spill out of the spinach ravioli ($14); whole-wheat pastas, grains, local produce, and a smattering of other options cater to diners with vegetarian and gluten-free diets. Afternoon appetites sate themselves with lunch items such as snapper-stuffed fish tacos ($8), crab cake sandwiches ($10), and pork belly sliders ($8).
The natural décor and warm colors of Rainwater Grill's earthy interior complement the local flavors of its menu. Outdoor seating, extensive wine pairings, and an event calendar peppered with as much live music as an international busking convention swarm the senses and evoke festive moods.
