Food scene
There are tons of eateries in the area, including many casual spots where you can simply pop in, but I would recommend making reservations whenever possible as many restaurants do fill up.
A few good sources include:
• The Infatuation (https://www.theinfatuation.com) - look for the Mission Guide
• Eater SF (https://sf.eater.com) – The Heatmap and Essential 38 showcase the best restaurants in San Francisco overall
