The L.A. chain known for its fresh, veggie-based fare recently touched down inSF, and we’d say that’s a good reason to head to Yerba Buena Gardens on your next lunch break. Think upscale cafeteria-style counter service, where you’ll put together meal combos like watermelon radish with seared ahi tuna, roasted cauliflower and citrus-poached salmon. Then top off your tray with one of the chain’s namesake lemonades--from blood orange to guava.
