Per Diem
8.0
FiDi mainstay since 2011 where the PD/FiDi Burger anchors a seasonal California menu; grass-fed patty, caramelized onions, and cheddar keep it squarely in power-lunch territory. Lines move briskly and the bar turns out reliable cocktails.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Sutter and nearby alleys is limited and metered; the 555 California garage and Crocker Galleria garage are the closest paid options.
Dress code: Smart casual—office attire fits right in, and sport coats or polished jeans are common for lunch and happy hour.
Noise level: Moderate—lively at lunch and early evening, but conversations are manageable except at the bar during peak hours.
Weekend wait: Closed on weekends—weekday lunch and early dinner only.
Weekday lunch: Arrive before noon or after 1:30pm to avoid a 10–15 minute wait for a table; bar seating usually available immediately.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—seasonal salads and veggie-forward entrées rotate with the menu.
Vegan options: Limited—1–2 options can be modified, but not a dedicated vegan menu.
Gluten-free options: Yes—buns can be swapped for lettuce wraps and several mains are naturally gluten-free.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, for a casual weekday date—it’s stylish but not overly formal, and the bar’s lighting and craft cocktails add warmth without pressure.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes—walk-ins are common at lunch, though booking ahead helps for larger groups or prime dinner hours before theater events.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly—more suited for adults and business diners, with no kids’ menu or high chairs available.
Best For
Better for: Business lunches and after-work cocktails where quality food meets downtown convenience.
Skip if: You’re seeking a late-night burger or family outing—hours and vibe cater squarely to the professional crowd.
