San Francisco Restaurants

Celebrate the Foodies Favorite City, San Francisco

My favorite fancy restaurant in San Francisco is Farallon, where my pals Stacey and Susan took me a few years back for a birthday celebration.
From a San Francisco Chronicle review, Farallon, the newest big-ticket affair near Union Square, has just about everything a restaurant needs to be great. The interior, a $4 million extravaganza designed by Pat Kuleto, exudes a magical, feel-good air. The food by Mark Franz, who was the backbone of the Stars kitchen for a decade, is already some of the best in the city. Franz focuses on seafood, creating innovative and imaginative combinations. For example, he uses Napa cabbage leaves to bundle together prawn mousse with wild salmon fillets and striped bass. He steams the package, cuts it open to expose the mosaic pattern inside, and places it on a bed of tiny diced, gingered vegetables and an unctuous foie gras sauce.
