- 1972-1987 - Lehr's Greenhouse Restaurant - 740 Sutter Street, next to the Canterbury Hotel - This restaurant had an impressive Sunday brunch and was always popular. It was also the scene of many birthday parties and wedding receptions during the era. When Mr. Lehr died, the restaurant closed.
- 1946-2020 - Tarantino's Restaurant - Fisherman's Wharf -permanently closed The menu of fresh seafood, particularly Pacific Salmon, Halibut, and Dungeness Crab, remain popular with both San Franciso locals and tourists. Located in historic Fisherman's Wharf since 1946, Tarantino's remains popular with both locals and tourists visiting our San Francisco even as some of the original heavy pasta dishes have yielded to more delicate fare. Most entree items remain affordable and range from $17 - $27. Our solid reputation for high quality food and service, presented in a warm and friendly atmosphere, has built up since 1946. Spectacular view of the Bay and Golden Gate
