San Francisco’s New Restaurant Openings
"In what might be a first for SF, Xebec is a Mediterranean-Japanese restaurant in Hayes Valley. This place is fancy, with a full bar and a setting that looks apt for dinner before catching the ballet. The menu seems a bit chaotic with dishes like a salmon rillette with togarashi, uni risotto arancini with a kumquat dipping sauce, and a lamb burger with Moroccan carrots and wasabi aioli. They’ve even got a whole section of the menu entitled “Mediterranean Japanese Sea Bar'' with a ceviche served with rice crackers that they’re calling “Xeviche.”" - ricky rodriguez
