The Best Dishes Eater San Francisco’s Editors Ate in April 2025 | Eater SF

"A tasting-menu restaurant led by Chef Celtin Hendrickson-Jones presents a string of standout small plates that make it hard to pick a single “best” dish — smoked catfish dumplings, johnny cakes, grits, the ambrosia salad and more all register. The dish the reviewer ultimately landed on was a stuffed chicken wing: "The crisp, fried exterior gives way to a dirty rice-filled inside, for a bite that will make you pause in appreciation." The writer adds that "when you get into the weeds of how a stuffed chicken wing is made, you grow all the more appreciative when you first go in," and recommends ordering the stuffed wings even if you’re trying the a la carte menu. —Dianne de Guzman" - Paolo Bicchieri
