Greens Restaurant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greens Restaurant is a landmark vegetarian restaurant [1][2] in the Fort Mason Center in the Marina District, San Francisco, California, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.
Founded by the San Francisco Zen Center in 1979,[3][4] Greens has been credited in The New York Times as “the restaurant that brought vegetarian food out from sprout-infested health food stores and established it as a cuisine in America.”[5]
The chef is Annie Somerville. The restaurant utilizes fresh produce from the organic Green Gulch Farm Zen Center.

"Built by San Francisco Zen Center carpenters, the restaurant incorporates 12 types of wood - from the massive black walnut doors, the hickory stairs at the entrance, the curved bar featuring Port-Orford-Cedar, and the dining tables of maple, walnut and cherry. Much of the wood has been recycled or reclaimed."
