This is one of the top restaurants in San Francisco, specializing in fish. Probably the most impressive thing about this place is the "final assembly" of the dishes at the table, as well as the chef's unannounced specials that come as a courtesy at the beginning and end of the meal. The mushroom soup had a surprisingly rich punch, but my ham-wrapped sturgeon was only ho-hum (nothing really notable about it). The service is certainly good though, as is the dessert.
One interesting thing is that most chichi places like this are usually very heavy on butter and cream such that you feel a bit sick afterwards. In contrast, this place was much lighter and healthy-feeling. Still, this isn't exactly a place that I will get cravings for, with the possible exception of that mushroom soup. It seems like this place is a bit more hit-or-miss, despite all the rave reviews this place gets.
