I learned about this restaurant right here on City Search and it certainly deserves the praises it has been getting. I had their four-course tasting menu which included the lobster and apple bisque soup, seared scallops in orange vinaigrette and the duck --- all of them were delicious and hearty. The menu itself is not all that ""exciting"" or ""exotic"" if you are looking for something entirely different but it is executed very well. They also have a vast wine selection to choose from (8,000 bottles I was told). The restaurant itself is located inside the Sanford Hotel in Nob Hill and makes you feel like you are eating in somebody's warm and open kitchen. Yes, it is pricey. Definitely a good choice for special occasions and the service is very good. The wait staff take their time and do not rush in between courses.
Pros: Wine list. Hearty Menu.
