"Angler is a special occasion spot that’s easygoing and fun. There’s nowhere else in SF where you can dine face-to-face with a taxidermied bear or brush up against a basket of pelts on the way to the bathroom. Most dishes at this Embarcadero spot have a whimsical flourish to them. Gold-plated cutlery is swapped in between every course. A head of radicchio covered in X.O. sauce arrives with a pristine dentist-style white cloth bib. A tableside pour of caramel accompanies the soft serve sundae dotted with cocoa nibs. And while Angler works well as a fun dinner spot, we like coming for a power lunch and ordering the $45 three-course Quick Catch prix fixe, which has many of the same dishes as the regular menu." - team infatuation
