The 16 Best Restaurants Near Union Square - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"San Francisco is a tasting menu town, and Ox + Tiger’s six-course dinner is one of the most exciting. The constantly changing $95 menu is a mashup of Japanese and Filipino flavors, and all of the dishes taste genuinely different and new. Grilled strip loin is topped with peanut sauce and served next to a beautiful panko-crusted fried eggplant. Salmon tataki and a creamy coconut mango sauce arrive alongside a bagoong tare-topped seared green mango. The eight-seat spot is run by a two-person team who prepare, serve, and reveal their personal connection to each dish like they’re your closest friends. For an intimate special occasion dinner, Ox + Tiger is it." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
