Last day to get the $1.75 Bloody Mary's. Nice little bit on the history of Tadich.
The oldest restaurant in California, Tadich Grill, celebrated its 175th anniversary on Sunday, bringing many local luminaries, with political foes Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Aaron Peskin burying their hatchets for one brief afternoon over cioppino and crab cakes.
SF’s legendary steak-and-seafood restaurant Tadich Grill is the third-oldest continuously operating restaurant in the whole USA, having originally opened way back in the Gold Rush days of 1849. And as we noted on the first day of April, Tadich Grill has been celebrating its 175th anniversary with a month-long promotion featuring $1.75 Bloody Marys, plus the 175th customer through the door each day receiving a free “Tadich swag giveaway” bag. (That promotion runs through Tuesday).
But on Sunday, Tadich Grill threw its proper 175th anniversary party, with martinis and crab cakes all around, and a who’s-who of the local power-player scene popping in to pay their respects.
