Husband-and-wife team Sarah and Evan Rich have a hit with their Hayes Valley restaurant, and getting a seat at Rich Table to try the legendary wild fennel levain, farm-fresh pastas and pork belly panzanella can be a challenge, so now's your chance to snag a table.

With only 49 seats, flour + water is a squeeze, and more so since this spot had one of the most-hyped openings in recent memory. But getting a bite of chef Thomas McNaughton's housemade pastas and Neapolitan-style pizzas just might be a cinch this week.

This spot is the epitome of the 2-hour brunch wait, but we're guessing this week will see a distinct ebb in traffic for MBC's lavender infused french toast, short ribs with butternut hash and popular burger. We've never not seen crowds outside, but we're crossing our fingers.

Quince's casual outpost Cotogna has never let up speed since glowing reviews put it on the map, and chef Michael Tusk's rustic take on Italian cuisine keeps 'em coming. There's never been a better time to try for a table at this darling of the SF food scene.

Reliably once of the hardest places in the city to get a reservation, Frances has the casual friendliness of a neighborhood spot combined with an upscale ethos that keeps everyone happy. Melissa Perello's modern California fare doesn't hurt either, so this might be the time to finally try for that reservation.

This Divisadero spot may be an elder statesman of local, sustainable California cuisine, but it continues to turn out some of the city's best, and diners know it. Tired of trying to squeeze in at the bar? Try for a table at Nopa now.

This far-flung spot has a surfer-chic feel and phenomenal food to make the trip worthwhile. Now might the perfect time to sample Outerlands chef Brett Cooper's menu, minus the crowds.

Delfina has been serving upscale Italian since most Mission Italian-inspired spots were just twinkles in their proprietors' eyes. Their pizzeria next door doesn't diminish from the restaurant's draw, so get a spot while you can at this ever-popular spot.

With the charm of a European movie night and a California/Mediterranean-inspired menu that also happens to boast some of the best fried chicken in town, Foreign Cinema has been going strong for over a decade. Plan an impromptu date night this week for maximum romance.

It's all about meat at Chris Cosentino's Incanto, and now's the time to pull up a chair at this warm outpost in sleepy Noe Valley for the signature Sardinian cured tuna heart spaghettini.

Padrecito seats 75, but buzz over its upscale Mexican fare and agave-based cocktail list has kept tables full. We're predicting that this week spells a lull for the Cole Valley spot, so go for the margaritas and stay for the duck carnitas.
