Outerlands

Outerlands is located in the outer Sunset, where the streets are wet with fog in summer, wind howls in the winter, and surfers with boards balanced on their head can be found walking barefoot towards nearby Ocean Beach at any time of year. The dining options are few, but if you do find yourself out there, a meal at Outerlands is a worthwhile treat.The interior plays on the feeling of being near the water with walls covered with planks of wood made from old fences that lined Highway One, weathered over decades by the salty sea air. On a recent dinner with friends, I savored roasted brassicas drizzled with a creamy sauce hinting of anchovies, flaky trout on a bed of brussels sprouts and sunchokes, and a sinfully rich deconstructed walnut tart.
