SFO restaurant recommendations for Monday wedding lunch celebration?
My partner and I are getting married at City Hall in SFO on a Monday and we will have 15 guests and are looking for a restaurant to have a small wedding lunch celebration.
Unfortunately many of the restaurants in SFO aren't open for lunch on Monday's. We have been recommended to try Catch, has anyone been? Any other suggestions?

I've eaten at Catch both at the Gayla and with friends for dinner and had very good meals - if you use them, try and keep your lunch "on the menu" rather than as a set menu; the "steak or seafood" option isn't bad, but the restaurant is at its best when it's cooking to order.
There are a crapload of good restaurants in the city, though. Pick your cuisine!

Perhaps Americano at the Hotel Vitale? Very nice for lunch. They have a private room that I think can accommodate a group of that size.

A little out of the way in the Laurel Heights area, but there is also Spruce

Excellent food. Beautiful space.

Catch is always a reliable and enjoyable choice. I like the Americano at Vitale too - so it's more apples and oranges. Catch is one of the better Castro dining choices (which, to be honest, is not saying much - Castro is really a mediocre 'hood for food) - Americano at Hotel Vitale is a really nice setting, quite close to the Bay and the Ferry Building. Don't forget to consult your hotel concierge too - they can work miracles on short notice for a large group like yours.

Congratulations! My partner and I got married there a few years ago during the rush when the mayor of SF started handing out marriage licenses. We didn't make it on Valentines Day because of the crowds. So our marriage license was dated 2/15. Not as romantic but still very memorable.
The Rotunda Restaurant at Neiman Marcus is something you might consider. Light, airy, and great food. I took my sister in law there a few months ago. We both loved it. They could probably accomodate a party of 15. Not sure if they're open on Monday.
NM is where I bought all my skin care products during college. Had to look fab.
