Tadich Grill

The Tadich Grill is situated in San Francisco's Financial District in California, the United States. As a coffee stand when it first opened in 1849, it is San Francisco's oldest continuously operating eatery. The Tadich Roast marketed itself as the first American eatery to grill seafood over mesquite charcoal, a traditional Croatian technique, in the 1920s.

Seafood, stews, and casseroles are the main dishes on the menu today. Seafood like Dungeness crab and sanddab are among the locally derived ingredients. Additionally, the establishment provides a day-of-the-week menu that hasn't changed in many years. Mondays include a lamb roast, Tuesdays feature beef tongue, while Thursdays have corned beef and cabbage. The majority, if not all, of the menu items, are prepared in the restaurant, and oysters are another prominent dish. The Tadich actively avoids selling fish that is overfished, limiting sales of fish like sea bass. The only frozen fish available at the restaurant is prawns.

In the New York Times, Sadie Stein wrote in 2013 that the restaurant is "Festive without being stuffy, it offers a taste of the San Francisco of yore while embracing the present day". The restaurant opened a branch in Washington, DC in 2015. It closed in 2018.
