The Best Splurge Restaurants in San Francisco

"While tucked-away MKT, inside the Four Seasons Hotel, is never a bad idea on its own, for an intimate outing for a group of 6 or less opt for the Chef’s Table experience. Taking place in a cozy private room perched above the busy street, the $220 tasting menu (including wine pairings) is a personalized affair that manages to feel special. Executive chef Kevin Tanaka personally reaches out to the party prior to planning the dishes to inquire about likes, dislikes and other accommodations; he then tailors the appetizers, mains and desserts to everyone’s taste. The experience is accompanied by dish introductions by the chef, as well as a few more surprises." - Flora Tsapovsky, Eater Staff
