This revamped Marina restaurant lasted only 8 months
A recently revamped San Francisco restaurant has closed after being open again for less than a full year; the owners said it no longer made sense to operate the restaurant in the economic climate.
The first iteration of Maybeck’s, at 3213 Scott St. in the Marina District, opened in 2015. It was a neighborhood spot known for its beef Wellington special on Wednesday nights, according to Eater SF, and other high-end tavern fare, such as a popular hamburger.
In June of last year, owner Aaron Toensing brought in Lori Baker and Jeffrey Banker, who previously owned the restaurant Baker & Banker, to re-imagine what Maybeck’s could be.
It turned into a classy, upscale restaurant known for its copper J-shaped bar near the entrance that commanded attention. Food-wise, the new Maybeck’s was known for fresh vegetables, seafood and housemade pasta. However, the owners altered the burger concept from a tavern-esque style — piled high with accouterments similar to the burgers at Nopa or Spruce — to a smashburger, which left some fans frustrated.
The reinvented Maybeck’s had a solid 4.0 Yelp rating with more than 330 reviews. Unfortunately, this iteration of the Marina restaurant only lasted eight months.
In a press release, Toensing, Baker and Banker expressed they hope to see a new form of the restaurant sometime soon. They thanked their staff, guests and others who made Maybeck’s what it was.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the closing of Maybeck’s, our last service was Saturday, March 18,” the managing team said in the press release. “Unfortunately, we found keeping Maybeck’s open in the current economy was no longer sustainable.”
