San Francisco has earned a reputation as one of the early-to-bed cities in North America when it comes to dining out. According to recent data from ChefsPencil.com, San Francisco lags behind other American cities in terms of late-night dining. The average last seating time for restaurants in San Francisco is 9:00 p.m., significantly earlier than cities like Miami and Las Vegas, where the average last seating extends to around 10:30 p.m.

While cities such as Miami cater to international visitors with later dining hours, and Las Vegas thrives with its 24-hour entertainment culture, San Francisco's dining scene tends to wrap up much earlier. This trend reflects the city’s overall lifestyle and possibly its culinary focus on earlier meal times.
