Watch: SOUTH at SFJAZZ is back!

SOUTH is back with rustic, sustainable Mexican cooking, right inside the new SFJAZZ Center, on Franklin and Fell, in the heart of Hayes Valley. Chef-de-cuisine Rymee Trobaugh, formerly of Zuni Café, serves small plates like black bean molotes, clam ceviche, shrimp sopes, and rabbit in yellow mole, complemented by refreshing tropical cocktails, with lots of rum and tequila. Operated by famed restaurateur Charles Phan of The Slanted Door Group, South does Mexican food with a distinctly San Francisco flair.

Come by for South's Happy Hour, Tuesday-Friday, 4:30-6PM!

"Charles is a culinary genius whose creative spirit compliments the art that we will be presenting in our new home. Our aim is to be an artistic, educational, and community center. The café in the Center will be open for breakfast and lunch, as well as evenings.
