Yoshi's Jazz Club and Japanese Restaurant

Yoshi's San Francisco at Fillmore Heritage Center. Yoshi's Jazz Club & Japanese Restaurant opened its second Bay Area location. This new location is a 28,000 square-foot, two-story, state-of-the-art venue and features the best of local, national and international jazz artists with seating for 417 in the jazz club and nearly 371 in the restaurant and lounge. Not only will it be a great destination for live music, but it will also be a great place to dine. Executive Chef Kamio will oversee the menus at both San Francisco and Oakland Yoshi's. Chef Sho's menu in San Francisco will feature a slightly different version of his modern take on Japanese cuisine, which will surely enhance the overall Yoshi's experience, making it the only place in the City with great food and world-class jazz.

The new venue occupies the ground floor of the Fillmore Heritage Center, a 13-story mixed-use development, which will begin a new era in the Fillmore District's history. During the musical prime of the Fillmore District in the 1940s and 1950s, the area became known as 'Harlem of the West' because it was a swinging, eclectic, and integrated neighborhood, boasting two dozen active nightclubs and music joints within its one square mile. Developed by Em Johnson Interest, Inc., this $72 million project will open its doors in Fall of 2007. In addition to Yoshi's the project also includes a 6,000-square-foot Jazz Heritage Center, a French-Soul food restaurant Blue Mirror, 80 residential condominiums and public & private parking facility.
