Sure, the chic, industrial décor is cool; the young, hip crowd is cool; the Mission-Potrero location is cool. But the rustic menu of contemporary American standbys and the attentive, informed staff do more than their part to warm up the place. Since its opening before the boom, The Slow Club has maintained a devoted following for both dinner and weekend brunch, never wavering from delivering a well-done meal at a wallet-friendly price, despite a change in ownership and its share of chef changes. As the menu changes daily, the kitchen's renditions of standbys may tweak slightly, such as with the grilled flatbread with seasonal toppings or earthy pastas. Past favorites include grilled salmon with Meyer lemon aïoli and Parmesan-crusted pork roast. No reservations are accepted, so order up one of the special cocktails to sip while perusing the menu and don't forget to leave room for one of the casual, comfort-inspired desserts.
