"Nothing says “important business meal” like lunch in a huge historic brick building overlooking a manicured lawn in a national historic landmark. The upscale Eastern Mediterranean restaurant in the Presidio serves great Turkish and Greek-inspired dishes like octopus with pork sujuk, oysters suleyman, and a New York strip big enough to feed the entire table. If a celebration is in order, cocktails are fun and inventive, like the Saturnalia highball with caramelized pineapple, yogurt, and Lebanese seven spice." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, patrick wong
