The Dining Room at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco sets the standard in elegant dining. The arrival of Champagne signals the opening of the meal, and a live harpist adds to the ambiance. Order the tasting menu of three, four or five courses from the regular menu of contemporary French fare—red fish, meats, game and poultry. The sommelier will assist you in selecting wines to complement your choices. The dessert menu includes a wonderful selection of farmhouse cheeses.
