SF’s most refined hotel deserves a restaurant of this stature, with a sensual, smart aesthetic flowing seamlessly from the St. Regis lobby. Strictly a business crowd at lunch, but warms up at night with smarty-pants art-types from next-door neighbors MOMA and Yerba Buena. Colorful, vibrant menu: anything from the sashimi bar is melt-in-your mouth perfect. After that we’ll take the Dungeness Crab fritters and the Alaskan Black Cod, please.
