# Ebb & Flow: Agent-Direct Score C (58.5%) Site: https://ebbandflowsf.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/ebbandflowsf.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Ebb & Flow is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Ebb & Flow's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: (415) 420-7293 - Address: 294 Ivy St, 94102, San Francisco ## Nearby, also direct Places near Ebb & Flow that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Afterwork Bar (60 m): https://directindex.org/r/afterworkbarsf.com - Sugar Lounge (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/sugarloungesf.com - Birba (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/birbawine.com - Linden Room (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/nightbirdrestaurant.com - The Grove (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/thegrovesf.com ## What to fix first - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow.
