San Francisco is home to the War Memorial Opera House.
The War Memorial Opera House, located at 301 Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco, has provided the stage for the San Francisco Opera Company since its construction in 1932. A night at the opera just wouldn't seem complete without a little pre-show dinner. Fortunately, there are a number of dining options within walking distance of the Opera House. Does this Spark an idea?
