Verbena

2323 Polk Street San Francisco, CA
The owners of award-winning restaurant “Gather” came to us with a wish to open a SF  restaurant that would showcase Chef Sean Baker’s sustainable, vegetable-focused menu, but still feel like a neighborhood “bistro”: familiar and welcoming.  The 1700 SF footprint was tall but small, ( an almost perfect cube) , and we needed to fit an ADA bathroom on the ground floor. We turned the bathroom into the room’s feature element by creating a 16′ tall “Pickle wall” to showcase the fermenting produce used daily. LED-lit niches create a warm colorful glow, and a focal point for the space. Custom pendants by Metro Lighting  create an intimate area over the bar, and a cluster of custom ceramic pendants by Jered’s Pottery anchor the center of the space.
