Sauce is a great new restaurant/bar/destination spot in Hayes Valley. The decor is warm and inviting, the food is exceptional and reasonably-priced. But the atmosphere is what makes Sauce stand out. If you don't know them already, you are almost guaranteed to make three new friends with the owner-operators by the time you leave after your first meal, which may not be too early in the evening since the kitchen is open nice and late.
This place is only going to get more popular as the word gets out, which is fine by me. Because on nights when the back lounge is open, the music is playing, and the cocktails are flowing -- you may just wind up cancelling your other plans and staying right where you are!
Pros: Centrally located, Food, Atmosphere
Cons: , Parking may be tough
