"A tried-and-true pick" of "ladies and gentlemen" who "dress for dinner", this Nob Hill hotel haunt "puts the 'fine' in fine dining" while "exhilarating the taste buds" with "genius" chef Ron Siegel's "brilliant", "cutting-edge" New French prix fixes, boasting his "very Iron Chef" Japanese details; the "hush, hush" atmosphere and "fabulous", "seamless" service complete the picture, though it feels a "tad stuffy" for some; P.S. those sans "expense accounts" can now order small bites or à la carte at the bar.
