Best Fine Dining Restaurants for Special Occasions in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Dinner at chef Val M. Cantu’s Californios will cost around $325, which includes more than a dozen exquisite plates showcasing California produce like corn and masa from Tierra Vegetables in Santa Rosa. (You can find a full list of the restaurant’s farm partners and purveyors on the back of your menu, along with a list of every member of the team.) Staff will take time to explain the provenance and inspiration for dishes like a tostada topped with a mosaic of Brokaw avocado and sustainably farmed Mexican bluefin tuna, and an eye-catching machete taco made with golden masa and filled with Maine lobster. The sleek modern dining room, with towering black walls and bold art, makes a fitting backdrop for Cantu’s striking food. Make reservations on Tock." - Flora Tsapovsky
