RTB Fillmore
RTB Fillmore took shape on Fillmore Street through a progression from pop-up format into a fixed dining room, eventually settling into the space previously occupied by Mosu SF, a Michelin-starred restaurant. That lineage sets a clear expectation for the room and the seriousness of the cooking. The kitchen works in a tasting-menu format with a global frame, drawing on Japanese technique alongside other influences. Documented dishes from press and review coverage include a broccoli "takoyaki" with roasted garlic aioli and fried shrimp, alongside proteins such as trout, oysters, and abalone. The approach is refined without being rigid, with playful constructions that still read as composed, deliberate cooking rather than novelty for its own sake. The Fillmore corridor in San Francisco's Western Addition has long carried a mixed identity, part residential neighbourhood, part dining and entertainment strip. RTB's placement there, in a room with the pedigree of its predecessor, signals a project with ambitions beyond the pop-up circuit it came from. Eater's coverage of the concept tracked its evolution as it moved toward a more established format, with chef Avery named in that reporting as the driving force behind the project.
