RESTAURANT NEWS Openings Since its late-summer 2016 opening, Tim Luym's Buffalo Theory has settled in nicely on Polk Street. The casual neighborhood restaurant and bar calls itself a "new American beer hall," though Luym's cuisine sets it apart. The former executive chef of Poleng Lounge (now closed) mixes bold flavors, often inspired from his native Philippines, into standout plates that pair well with the 30 craft beers on tap. Look for the restaurant's football-friendly Sunday Funday menu, featuring specials such as crispy adobo wings, five-spice wings, sisig and grits and a big ol' meatball sub. Buffalo Theory, 1735 Polk St., San Francisco, CA 94109, 415-829-8226.   The Morris is located in the former Slow Club space on Mariposa Street, near Potrero Hill. The bistro is an interesting one for industry and other folks in the know --- it's the debut restaurant of Paul Einbund, a favorite local sommelier, current beverage director at Frances and former sommelier and partner at Daniel Patterson's Coi. Chef is Gavin Schmidt, previously chef de cuisine of Coi, as well as executive chef of Campton Place, San Diego's Blanca and Walnut Creek's Corners Tavern. Despite its lofty leadership, the dinner-only spot, named for Einbund's late father, aims to be a "warm neighborhood restaurant" focused on community. The Morris, 2501 Mariposa St., San Francisco, CA 94110, 415-612-8480.   Kenzo and Natsuko Tsujimoto, owners of Kenzo Estate, will open Kenzo restaurant in Napa on November 16, 2016.

After several months in business, Spaghetti Bros. has changed its name to Maybeck's --- for the sole reason that the name did not fit the seasonal NorCal cuisine concept. All other details will remain the same, including the menu (which does include some pasta dishes, but not exclusively). Maybeck's, 3213 Scott St., San Francisco, CA 94123, 415-400-8500.   Volta Drops Lunch Volta has ended its weekday lunch service and will now focus on dinner only.
