Go for the super-value tasting menu ($65), or choose from dishes like duck breast salad with figs, or the excellent off-menu burger; don’t miss the pairings from a seriously well-stocked cellar. Read more.
FYI very tasty but not Italian
Corkage policy that encourages digging into your cellar: $25 for wines 2003 and younger and only $10 for wines 2002 and older.
What a beautiful homage to California produce! Beautiful and delicately thought food, wonderful pairing, and amazing hospitality to match your 180min experience.
Please keep the location quiet, as the host would prefer!!
Lawyer-turned-chef David Barzelay in 09' started hosting a series of underground dinners called Lazy Bear, which quickly blew up. Lazy Bear opened as a full-scale restaurant last night. Read more.
Duck liver mousse, crab porridge, duck entree (omfg) and donuts to end the night. This is one of the strongest, most complete dinners in SF now. Good for dates, groups, booze, food (duck) & dessert
Everything was stellar here - food was delicious and the service was spot on. Ask for wine pairings with the food to get it perfect. They make a great manhattan too, I’d recommend starting with one.
Great cocktails, amazing beef rib.
Try one of everything! Obviously the beignets, grilled calamari, chicken..ask about the fried chicken wings! And always start with a fresh market shot
Melissa Perello returns with Frances, an easy-going nook with a menu to match that’s swiftly become the muse of local rags, international pubs and the James Beard Foundation. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Fantastic California cuisine, but you need to make reservations weeks in advance to get a spot!
Burger and fries is an awesome choice and Dylan was a great server!! Awesome wine list. Something for everyone's taste.
Have a burger and fries at the bar. Why not?...it's #38 on 7x7's Big Eat Sf 2010. Read more.
SF has never been mistaken for a fine dining town, yet the two-year old Spruce has proved to be an absolute homerun in its ritzy Laurel Heights environs. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Try Freshly Dug Potatoes with oysters, kale, and vermouth butter sauce, Squab with black truffle, foie gras and red currant & Caramel apple with rosemary, celery seed, pine nut and rum raisin
Chef Michael Tusk's "house-made chickpea ravioli comes in a pepper-spiced squid sauce, and his Roman-style oxtail stew is subtly seasoned with cloves and cinnamon." -Travel + Leisure on TripExpert Read more.
Fact: Quince does not mean 15 in Italian (which, by the way, is a number larger than Joffre Borgia’s age at his wedding).
One of our favorite meals ever. Fusilli with Olive Oil Poached Yellowtail, Pappardelle with Nine Hour Bolonese, Porkchop with Horseradish Cream, and Huckleberry Buttermilk Panna Cotta were to die for.
It's an updated take on the Zuni formula, with the success to show. Both neighborhood standby and destination restaurant, Nopa continues to grow admirably under Chef Jossel. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Grassfed beef on a brioche bun, with optional cheese. (You want the cheese.) Eater SF editor Allie Pape says, "Nopa is my favorite white-napkin burger by a mile." Bonus? It's served til 1:00AM.
FAV. The ambience makes you feel happy - warm, cozy, & funky all at once. At night, old films project on the wall. The food is farm fresh, unique, and incredible. And they make fantastic bloodies.
Like Zuni, a onetime trailblazer inspired by the Chez Panisse mantra. And like Zuni, a fully-fledged restaurant on all levels, from food to service. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
The housemade organic fruit “Pop Tarts” is a must for weekend brunch.
One of my favorite places in SF. Porcini Doughnuts are off the hook. Farm-to-Table restaurant. Seasonal ingredients from local places.
Bread, oysters, beets, porcini doughnuts, cauliflower, snow peas, ramps, spaghetti w/ goat cheese, salmon, steak, olive oil cake with strawberries. Oh forget it, just eat everything on the menu.
Get the porcini doughnuts for sure, skip the sardine chips.
Choose a night with a menu that sounds good and you won't be disappointed. Great value for SF dining!
Respectably good but very loud. Soups memorable. You won't regret trying all the pasta supplements that day (share)! Can sub in as your main. Brown butter financier >>>> chocolate.
Our starters, pasta supplements, and sea bass main were excellent. The short rib main and the choc mousse deserts were quite average. The ambiant noise actually works well with the close tables. Ymm
Tell the waiter to keep the popovers coming
It’s hard to have a bad time at this frisky FiDi hotspot where solid renditions of Southern and San Francisco classics meet impressive cocktails. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Delicious food in a gorgeous setting. Be sure to have a glass of wine as you stroll around the show rooms and rooftop too
Specialties: Buckwheat blini with smoked salmon, creme fraiche and caviar; glazed oysters; roasted lobster with potato puree, mushrooms, edamame and tarragon; chocolate souffle with two sauces. Read more.
Don't skip the cheese cart, it's fantastic!
go hungry and get the chocolate soufflé. so good
Decent bread with butter! Great polenta, clams, and amazing spagetti! Don't forget to take the panna cotta (Italian desert they to with buttermilk instead of mascarpone), it's worth it!
Besides "the" chicken, Zuni's burger, Caesar salad and bloody Mary have all been called the best in the city. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
This is a great place to take an out-of-town visitor to eat. Feels like SF. Tastes like SF. Located on Market street in SF.
I love the cauliflower sandwich and Brussel sprouts. Perfect vegetarian meal. And extremely flavor full.
The roasted cauliflower was great and the chicken rotisserie was ok. I liked. Next I will order only roasted cauliflower.
The vegetable are a standout
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
