"Let’s get straight to the point, your general counsel is terrifying - she never has a hair out of place or makes a misstep when speaking, and even her kids look like they were siphoned out of a Lands End catalogue. You want to enjoy a nice meal with her, but also want to be able to see outside so you won’t feel so claustrophobic. Fortunately, she enjoys the finer things, so you can take her to Monsieur Benjamin. The restaurant is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can look out into Hayes Valley, instead of the walls closing in on you, and they have a menu of well-executed French food, like mussels, beignets, and frogs legs. Everyone wins." - Will Kamensky
