Unique Graduation Dinner Ideas in San Francisco

A graduation day deserves a grand celebration. There are many ways to celebrate your big day, but instead of a traditional post-ceremony meal, try something new. Here are 5 unique graduation dinner ideas in San Francisco.  

Island Time

If you feel like upscale dining with your family, think in advance to reserve – depending on your party size – a booth or ohana table at Liholiho Yacht Club. This classy place is only a short walking distance away from The Zombie Village, the latest tiki noir bar by the Future Bars group. Then, go for tiki cocktails at the Tonga Room. 

Four Course Progressive Meal

To make your graduation dinner unforgettable and exclusive order a progressive meal with us at Avital Tours. Our guide will bring you to our three or four local restaurants to experience their unique dishes paired with extraordinary stories. If you want drinks with dinner, we can pair courses with curated drinks. The food tours are hosted in three distinctive and vibrant San Francisco neighborhoods – North Beach, Tendernob, and Mission – so that you can choose what suits your party best.

Fine Dining Dim Sum

Hip and swanky Hakkasan San Francisco offers your graduation party the pure enjoyment of a dim sum dinner. Go if you have a gusto for Asian fusion cuisine, tea collection and high-end cocktails. To try a variety of steamed dim sum start with the Hakka steamed dim sum platter. There are abundant choices for guests with gluten-free diets.

Picnic Perfect

For outdoorsy graduates, who would prefer to have their graduation dinner in their backyard, but with more space to hang out, there is San Francisco’s backyard – Mission Dolores Park. Bringing your picnic to Dolores Park stop by for food at good ol’ neighboring Bi-Rite Market for their responsibly-sourced local produce and freshly prepared full-flavored colossal take-out menu. Bi-Rite’s choice of hot and cold made-to-order sandwiches will satisfy both vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores. If craving some greens to go with your meats, order a fried chicken salad. Since their dinner menu changes daily, check their Twitter or give them a ring.
