The new Dosa on Fillmore officially opened last Monday. And while the first Dosa filled the South Indian niche, Dosa II has filled in some blanks of its own.
• It’s lured the ladies from upper Pac Heights to boldly venture to the scruffier side of lower Pac Heights (although not as scruffy as the South side of Geary). The night I was there more than one table was made up of solely of women, many with hairbands, bonding over cocktails and curry.
• It offers a pre-concert dinner for those headed to the Fillmore and a post-movie dinner for those spilling out of the Sundance Kabuki theater.
• It’s a home away from home for Nopa fans. Former bank building? Check. Huge and impressive windows? Check. Skyhigh ceilings? Check.
But what impressed me the most was the simple fact that I could hear myself think. Dosa’s high ceilings have been installed with acoustic tiles that, admittedly, aren’t the most attractive things (aesthetes, don’t look up), but despite the booming music and a full dining room, I found that I could talk without yelling. The art of conversation is back.
