"Blue Whale, a more casual pan-Asian restaurant and lounge at Union and Buchanan streets, will join a neighborhood lineup that includes Causwell’s jaw-dropping burgers, Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn in Cow Hollow, and the historic Gavin Newsom-owned Balboa Cafe. Blue Whale Restaurant and Lounge opens on September 29 with seasonal Asian menu items such as wasabi crispy Tiger prawns with pineapple, and baked lobster with buttermilk and chili." - Paolo Bicchieri
