Fans of Rich Table will feel right at home at husband-wife team Sarah and Evan Rich's new fast-casual joint, just a chicken bone's throw from its older sister.
RT Rotisserie is now open, serving roasted bird, porchetta, cauliflower, and a slew of sides—all just the kind of comforting and filling stuff you'd want to eat by the fire up in the mountains (i.e. just right for a San Francisco summer). The Hayes Valley space is plenty welcoming too, with a mix of bright white tiles, warm woods, industrial accents and pops of red. Order at the counter and grab one of just 46 seats for a heartening meal you won't soon forget.
A pop of red on the front door welcomes guests into RT Rotisserie.

The rotisserie chicken, pork, and cauliflower are all prepared with a brine of buttermilk, umami powder, garlic and Douglas Fir. Each one is then brushed with a smoked, roasted garlic oil and topped with dill, shiso, parsley, mint, and a lemon.
