Modern Californian · San Francisco Bay Area · New opening. A preview of one of 2026's most anticipated openings — we will publish a full review and scores after our first visit.
Daniel Patterson returns to the dining room with Jacaranda, his first restaurant since the two-Michelin-star Coi closed in 2022. Patterson was one of the architects of modern Californian cuisine, and Jacaranda marks his re-entry to the scene he helped define.
For Bay Area diners, Jacaranda is the most anticipated return of 2026 — the comeback of a chef whose influence on Californian fine dining runs deep.
This is a preview based on public announcements as of June 2026; details may change before opening. See the full Best New Restaurants 2026 list → · Best fine dining restaurants →
