Acclaimed SF eatery One Market Restaurant closing after 32 years
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Acclaimed long-running San Francisco eatery One Market Restaurant will close next month after 32 years at the foot of Market Street. The restaurant, which first opened in 1993, will serve its last meal on Wednesday, June 11. Founded by chef Bradley Ogden and restaurateur Michael Dellar, One Market held a Michelin Star from 2008 to 2012. The year it opened, it was named the San Francisco Examiner's 'Best New Restaurant of 1993.' Additional accolades include two 3 1/2-star reviews from former San Francisco Chronicle food critic Michael Bauer, and recognition in the 'Top 10 American Restaurants in the U.S.' by Gayot Guide. Bay to Breakers photos capture outrageous costumes from this year's race 'What a run it's been!' read a letter from the restaurant to guests. 'After 32 years anchoring the foot of Market Street in San Francisco, One Market Restaurant will be reaching retirement on June 11, 2025. Until then, it's lunch, dinner, all-day happy hour, and private events Monday through Friday.' Among the reasons cited for the closure were a hoped-for sale to the restaurant's management team, the pending retirement of founder Michael Dellar, and 'the after-effects of COVID-19.' The decision, according to the restaurant team, was 'inevitable and bittersweet.' 'We may be moving on, but we truly are leaving our hearts in San Francisco,' the letter from the restaurant team concluded. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Former Michelin-Starred 'One Market Restaurant' Is Closing
One Market Restaurant, which used to have a famed Michelin star, is shutting its doors after three decades. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, the 'acclaimed' restaurant is closing on June 11, 2025. It was open for 32 years, The Chronicle reported, and announced its closure on May 16, 2025. The owners were hoping to sell the business, but The Chronicle was 'unable to find that deal." The owners said the closure decision was 'inevitable and bittersweet,' the newspaper reported, adding that the restaurant struggled 'to recover from the pandemic.' "Created by Chef Bradley Ogden and restaurateur, and still Managing Partner, Michael Dellar in 1993, One Market Restaurant has become a standard for sophisticated dining in San Francisco," a timeline on the restaurant's website says. "For the past 20 years, One Market has offered the award-winning farm-to-table cuisine of Chef/Partner Mark Dommen. The restaurant sports views of the Ferry Building, F-Line Trolley and Bay Bridge. Featured are an open exhibition kitchen with a special 'Chef's Table,' a wood-fired grill and rotisserie, several private dining rooms, a vibrant bar with a stellar cocktail program, and caring professional service directed by Front of House-Bar Manager Oscar Davila," the website continues. "One Market also boasts one of the city's most impressive wine lists curated by Sommelier and Wine Director Tonya Pitts, named the 2023 Sommelier of the Year by Wine Enthusiast," it says. The restaurant shares photos of some of its dishes on its Instagram page. According to a statement on Elite Traveler, "The appointment of head chef Mark Dommen has led to the restaurant receiving a Michelin star for the fourth consecutive year. Dommen has created a menu that takes contemporary American fare and gives it a modern twist."

Former Michelin-starred S.F. restaurant closing after ‘32 wonderful years'
One Market Restaurant, an acclaimed establishment at the Embarcadero end of San Francisco's Market Street, will close on June 11 after operating for 32 years. The restaurant announced its impending closure Saturday. The owners said they had hoped to sell the business to its current management team, but were unable to find a deal. That, and the business' struggle to recover from the pandemic, made the decision to close 'inevitable and bittersweet,' the owners said in a statement. 'Thank you seems almost inadequate to express our gratitude for 32 wonderful years, but it suits the purpose,' they said. Michael Dellar, who co-founded the restaurant with chef Bradley Ogden in 1993, said the decision to close was spurred in part by his plan to retire this year. 'My retirement has been on the horizon for a while and … this provided the best time to do it,' Dellar said. 'We're just so happy we could be there for so long.' The restaurant, which serves contemporary American cuisine, held a Michelin star from 2008 to 2012. In 2014, the Chronicle called chef and partner Mark Dommen 'one of the best, but least hyped, chefs in the Bay Area.'
