The story

Prospect San Francisco: Californian Cooking at 300 Spear St.

Prospect, a Californian restaurant at 300 Spear St. in San Francisco, won a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2025 for its wine program. The ground-floor room in the Infinity Towers sits a block from the Embarcadero, with dishes built on produce from local farms and markets.

Cooking from local farms

James Beard award-winning chef Nancy Oakes opened Prospect in 2010 with Pam Mazzola and Kathy King. The kitchen cooks contemporary California cuisine, and the menus shift with the season. Michelin named the restaurant Recommended in 2026.

Bar, wine and happy hour

The warm, modern room has a large bar. Guests can order a seasonal craft cocktail, a classic martini, a glass from the wine list, or a zero proof drink. On weekdays from 4 to 6 pm, the bar and lounge pours craft cocktails, beer and wine alongside bar snacks.
