7 Adams

"The five-course tasting menu from 7 Adams is one of our favorite fine dining deals in the city—the food and value are both fantastic. For $87, you get a procession of gorgeously executed dishes, like caramelle with delicate squash centers or fall-apart pork collar topped with crackly pig ears. Even the deceptively simple milk bread rolls are so good they’ll be the subject of your morning doodles a month later. If you’re looking for a special occasion date night option in the neighborhood, it doesn’t get better than this." - julia chen 1

"The five-course menu at this seasonal tasting menu spot is usually $87, but this one includes an additional course of a caviar tartlette Your only option is the prix-fixe menu, which includes porcini tagliatelle, pork loin with cheddar grits, and a salted malted s’mores dessert" - julia chen 1

"How Far In Advance Should You Book? Three weeks out for a prime time, or a couple days in advance if you don’t mind eating at 8pm or sitting outside in the heated, enclosed terrace. 7 Adams was one of our Best New Restaurants of 2024, and while it still requires some effort to eat here, you won’t have to set multiple alarms to do it. The five-course meal ($87 per person) will stick to your brain for at least the next 52 weeks—from the plump ricotta gnudi down to the genuinely flawless milk bread rolls, a dinner here never disappoints." - julia chen 1

"The chef-couple behind now-closed Marlena in Bernal Heights took their talents to the Japantown area with the opening of 7 Adams in November 2023, eventually earning a Michelin star in 2024. Similar to their prior restaurant, this is a relatively affordable tasting menu option in a city with notoriously sky-high prices; for $87 diners enjoy five seasonal courses, including chef David Fisher’s fresh pasta and chef Serena Chow Fisher’s stunning dessert, among other dishes, of course. Diners can also book an expanded chef’s counter menu, which costs $157 for eight to 10 courses." - Paolo Bicchieri

"There’s a good reason this restaurant just received a Michelin star in its first year of operation: husband and wife co-chefs David Fisher and Serena Chow Fisher have some real chops. Their five-course prix fixe menu ($87) typically includes house-baked milk bread, a crudo, and a hot starter, followed by two courses that allow diners to choose between plates such as roasted cauliflower cavatelli and seared black cod. Save room for Chow Fisher's elegant desserts." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
