Best date-night restaurants in the Mission

The Mission date in this directory is a long book at noon, a midnight Resy drop that the restaurant itself does not print, and a Korean steakhouse at 10am. Delfina’s site still will not say. Checked October 24, 2026.

Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Booking notes were checked on the date under each restaurant. A restaurant can change the window after that.

Alerts is $12 a month and watches the drop. Concierge books in your name, on the restaurant's own platform. Membership and pricing. The Guestlist is the free weekly letter.
