Overview

  • One Market Restaurant, founded in 1993 by Michael Dellar and Bradley Ogden, will close its doors after 32 years of operation.
  • The restaurant earned a Michelin star from 2008 to 2012 and served over 3 million meals during its tenure near the Ferry Building.
  • Declining foot traffic post-pandemic, combined with Dellar’s retirement and unsuccessful sale attempts, contributed to the decision to close.
  • Daily covers dropped significantly from pre-pandemic levels of up to 1,000 to under 100, reflecting broader economic shifts in San Francisco's Financial District.
  • Since announcing its closure, the restaurant has experienced a surge in reservations, as patrons seek to visit before its final service on June 11.
