In San Francisco’s Financial District, this sophisticated dining spot consistently pulls in the powerful with a deluxe setting—plenty of mirrors and luxurious fare like caviar, oysters, foie gras and ahi tuna which mingles with rarer creatures of the sea, such as Japanese hamachi and Alaskan black cod. Chef Laurent Manrique’s mastery of classic European cooking techniques is evident in his surprising, yet harmonious, combinations of fresh seafood.
