The 25 Best Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"At Bodega SF, Northern Vietnamese dishes are amped up with fun twists—you’ll see little mounds of caviar atop bánh khọt, truffle butter in the shaking beef, and yuzu coconut foam atop oysters on the half shell. This fancy spot in Union Square, decked out with funky geometric lights and a full bar, is a special occasion restaurant disguised as a nước chấm-drenched dinner party. The best way to do a night here is to pile into a leather booth with six or seven of your favorite people and get the family-style $90-per-person tasting menu, a seemingly never-ending parade of their greatest hits. When you’re done, wander downstairs to their moody sister bar The Felix and keep the night going. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
