TAP415 – A new addition to the Restaurant Collection Under the Dome on the 4th Floor Westfield San Francisco Center, the concept for Tap415 is a modern, urban eatery focused on sourcing local goods to create a unique menu of handcrafted American favorites – including freshly baked breads, fine burgers, artisanal sandwiches and 20 taps with local, craft beer, wine and cocktails. The element of craft is carried through in the materiality and architecture of the space. Raw, exposed materials such as the rough sawn floor, patina brass bar top, maple butcher block tables and hot rolled steel and are combined with custom light fixtures, perforated steel paneling over golden gate red painted columns, custom hood graphics and glowing liquor display shelving. The juxtaposition aims to blend the craft and refinement indicative of the execution of the food and beverage being served in a relaxed dining experience.
The design creates an inviting environment which is played up with the openness of the restaurant façade to the historic dome of the retail center, while setting itself apart by sitting on a raised deck, 8” above the mall floor, almost like a stage from which to watch the action pass by. From the entry, guests are welcomed with Tap415 branded signage and logo projected on the floor. Views to the bar and open kitchen are the backdrop for rows of communal tables and linear exposed bulb light fixtures in the open dining area. The seating is arranged to easily accommodate both small and large parties concurrently. Metal louvered screens in the storefront create opportunities to place TVs which encompass the dining area.
