"The chef-couple behind now-closed Marlena in Bernal Heights took their talents to the Japantown area with the opening of 7 Adams in November 2023, eventually earning a Michelin star in 2024. Similar to their prior restaurant, this is a relatively affordable tasting menu option in a city with notoriously sky-high prices; for $87 diners enjoy five seasonal courses, including chef David Fisher’s fresh pasta and chef Serena Chow Fisher’s stunning dessert, among other dishes, of course. Diners can also book an expanded chef’s counter menu, which costs $157 for eight to 10 courses." - Paolo Bicchieri
