I first tasted Elevation 66 beer while at a Beer Festival at the Fort Mason Center some time last year and have been meaning to pay them a visit to try out some of their food. I went on a Saturday for lunch and apparently there was one waitress/bartender extraordinaire who was doing everything. It wasn't completely packed, but she took care of the entire room for the first 20 minutes that I was there. Very impressive. The food was also impressive, with very nice presentations and super fresh ingredients. Below are some of the things I enjoyed.

Beer. The Ramble Tamble Red is in the foreground and the East Bay IPA is in the background. The red was nice and crisp with a good balance of hops and flavor. Love that one. The IPA was also very clean and bright and went down very easy.
Burrata. Served with heirloom tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, crostini, and sprinkled with basil and pink Himalayan salt. I'm a sucker for burrata, and this was a very nice way of serving it. Elegant in its simplicity but bursting with flavor from the fresh and tasty ingredients.
Beer-braised Pork Belly. Another one of my weaknesses, this piece of pork was served with charred watermelon gastrique, corn, and micro greens. The pork was prepared perfectly with a crispy outer skin and tender meat. This dish was well-balanced and very satisfying.
Fish and Chips. Fresh fish beer battered and fried, served with lightly seasoned, crispy fries and ponzu aioli. Very nice.
House-made Sausage. These were very delicious pork sausages, perfectly seared and served with very tasty mustard spaetzle, sauerkraut, and curry-miso.
Vanilla Bourbon Pot de crème. A very smooth and creamy custard topped with chantilly and candied bacon. A nice light dessert after a hearty meal.
I will definitely be coming here again. I look forward to trying one of their sandwiches, which I hear are excellent.
