One of the hidden secrets of SF. This place is excellent. The ahi tartare cones are so good i can pop them in my mouth like popcorn. I've never had sweetbreads before but the way it is prepared with the madeira sauce is heavenly. My favorite is the Day Boat Scallops. But really the rest of the menu is creative and prepared very very well. The wine list is excellent and they are very generous in preparing their cocktails ;-) Every Saturday they have the Tangaria Jazz group play. Talented young trio. Where can you go for free jazz, good food, excellent cocktails, extensive wine list and superb service. No where but Vignette. Seriously, I can't believe alot of people don't know about this place. its really really good!

The well-executed dishes coming out of the kitchen prove that chef Jason Yeafoli has some serious chops. White truffle oil can overwhelm even the most robust dish, but a careful hand elevates a blanched asparagus, mache, and Parmesan appetizer to the sublime. Many mains revolve around meat and potatoes, like a satisfying Painted Hills filet of beef atop a fried hash-brown cake with halved baby carrots and foie gras sauce, but they're never boring. Stick to simple desserts like the house-made sorbets and ice creams.
