San Francisco help

The best meal that I've had in the city is at Bar Tartine. It's fucking incredible there. Most of the reviews online are out of date - earlier this year they got a new chef, who is Hungarian, and re-vamped the menu to make it Eastern European inspired. The meal was amazing - just really unusual flavors. H and I still talk about it.

It's not super intimate, so maybe not an anniversary dinner place, but you should go. Seriously.

Benu is the hot place for fancy dinners, but I haven't been and it may be hard to get reservations. If I had $400+ to drop on dinner today, I'd go to Coi.

Other restaurants I've enjoyed -- AQ (loud but good), A16 (if you like Dino, you will love this place), and Bar Crudo.

I haven't had a full meal at Michael Mina, but I'm a huge fan of the dessert tasting menu - very fun to sit at the bar and order it.

Sons & Daughters would also be a nice place for an anniversary dinner. Simple, delicious food in a really nice, small setting. Doesn't have the bells and whistles that places like Benu, Coi, Quince, etc have, but I really enjoyed my meal there.

I think you will really like Bar Tartine. Where else are you going?

If you have time to meet for a drink, I could trek downtown. Maybe mesh will join us. But, I totally understand the jam packed schedule and it sounds like you and your H need a vacation.

I'd be down if you had time.

I'm just replying because I'm going there in November and want an easy way to come back to this thread.

Not sure where else we're going, this was definitely a last second trip. I need to talk to my friend there to see what the plan is, I defintely want to get some Chinese food.

Mission Street Chinese.

GO THERE.
