The 15 Best Special Occasion Restaurants In SF

"This fine dining spot in Russian Hill does twists on Japanese specialties. And you can’t get these dishes anywhere else in the city, which is one reason to come here for big celebrations. The other is that this sleek, mostly-black space looks like an art gallery. Dishes are also masterpieces. For $193, you’re presented with 12 courses, including things like an uni-topped “croquette” stuffed with creamy potato. By the time the dessert lands on the table, you’ll be sending out a text to everyone you know, and inventing some excuse to come back. " - julia chen 1
