San Fran small group dining suggestions

I am bringing 13 people out to San Francisco who are in the food/wine business - need a dining spot on a Saturday night that is not touristy, but fun and not too $$ ($60pp range)

  1. If they are from out of the West Coast, they might enjoy an unusual meal of terrific food of traditional Mexican origin in SOMA
    Check out their web site and menu.

    1. re: Bruce in SLO

      oops,you didn't list the Mexican restaurant....?

      I dunno, this may be too downscale for the group you have, but i would take them somewhere like Sycamore - it's a wine/beer bar in the Mission District, so they can get a real flavor of the area, and it's sort of upscale bar food. .... http://thesycamoresf.com/menu.php i had a bday party there last year, and just got there early enough (6 p.m.) to put tables together (15 people) in the front room.

    2. $60 per person before wine, tax, and tip?

      1. Alamo Square Seafood should fit your bill nicely.

              Incanto, Cotogna, maybe Barbacco (not sure they have a table that big), A16 (glassed-off back room, main room is too noisy), Lers Ros, Pauline's Pizza, Wayfare Tavern, Zero Zero.
