Tomorrow will mark the opening of chef Melissa Perello's second San Francisco restaurant, Octavia (1701 Octavia Street at Bush), which she told SFist a few details about a couple weeks back. After a few test dinners this week, the team is now primed for opening Thursday, with seating starting at 5 p.m. — and from the outset the new restaurant will be open seven nights a week.

We showed you some pictures of the remodeled interior — this was the space that in years past has been home to Meetinghouse, Quince, and most recently, Baker & Banker. And you can take a look yourself by making a reservation (the reservations books are only open two weeks out at the moment).

The full menu has not yet been released, but here are a few highlights — and note that there will be no overlap with the menu at Frances, but you can expect food to be of a similar style, with Perello's signature seasonality, approachability, and fine dining touches.
