Ilna at Buddy in San Francisco

Weekly dinner residency at Buddy

This is a weekly pop-up dinner residency and restaurant service at Buddy, identified as a bar in San Francisco’s Mission District. The project is led by Maz Naba, listed as chef, winemaker, owner, and founder of Ilna. The residency is framed through Naba’s Lebanese roots, which is the clearest stated through-line for the dinner.

The format is restaurant service rather than a single ticketed tasting or seated show. That means the central planning facts are the host bar, the residency structure, and the à la carte service model. Buddy is also listed at 3115 22nd St in San Francisco, giving the event a specific Mission District location rather than a citywide or undisclosed setting.

Menu and drinks

The menu is described as modern California-Lebanese and Levantine cooking. Named dishes and components include house-made spreads, breads, lamb bresaola, yogurt dumplings, seasonal crudo, and stuffed squash. Drinks are part of the format too: the food is paired with natural wines and drinks, which fits Naba’s listed role as both chef and winemaker without turning the dinner into a fixed-price wine event.

Service details

Dining is offered as regular à la carte service, with reservations available through Resy and no single fixed admission ticket price. The scheduled service is listed as an evening restaurant service at Buddy.
