Perry's: The third San Francisco location - and fourth overall - of Perry Butler's classic restaurant has opened in the atrium of the San Francisco Design Center. Like the others, it employs traditional American fare and checkered tablecloths; unlike its predecessors, this incarnation limits its hours to weekdays.
101 Henry Adams St. (between Alameda and Kansas), San Francisco; (415) 552-5697 or perryssf.com. Open weekdays for breakfast, lunch and happy hour until 6:30 p.m.
Fondue Cowboy: Owner Dave Mur has taken a 43-seat space on Folsom Street and turned it into a fondue restaurant decked out in a Spaghetti Western theme. Dipping diners can enjoy melted dishes like the savory beer-based spicy cheddar ($12) or the ginger oil-inflected milk chocolate ($10), all under portraits of Clint Eastwood.
