Lobster Spaghetti @ Bix Restaurant
56 Gold St San Francisco, CA
More than two decades on, and BIX has achieved the impossible: It has become a well-known restaurant that still feels like a secret. The cocktails are sublime, and the food is as sophisticated as the plush environs.

Bone-Marrow-Crusted Filet Mignon @ La Folie
2316 Polk St. San Francisco, CA
A bone-marrow-crusted filet at La Folie is still one of the greatest fine-dining beef dishes we've ever had. So much of the food at Roland Passot’s Russian Hill restaurant is equally memorable.
-
Basmati-Stuffed Quail @ Foreign Cinema
2534 Mission St San Francisco, CA
Movies blink across the wall outside, a fireplace flickers in the main dining room, oysters begin (or should begin) most meals, and the patio scene is hotter than a Mojave summer. Best of all, the food, from chefs Gayle Pirie and John Clark, is still startlingly great.
-
Puntarelle @ Delfina
3621 18th St San Francisco, CA
The Bay Area is awash in Cal-Ital restaurants, each buoyed by a flood of extra-virgin olive oil. We wager that if it weren't for the peerless Delfina, with its enticing menu of superb antipasti, fine pastas and standout main courses, there would be far fewer.
-
Shrimp And Scallop Potstickers @ Firefly
4288 24th St San Francisco, CA
Brad Levy’s food comforts but never condescends, and the price of a meal at Firefly--$35 for three courses, Sunday through Thursday--is always a bargain. Even dessert blindsides with its easygoing precision.
-
Lettuce Cups @ Betelnut
2030 Union St San Francisco, CA
Lettuce cups with minced chicken, firecracker shrimp, Szechuan green beans: If you think you know Betelnut's food, you haven't been intrepid enough. Those dishes are plenty delicious, but consider the menu’s less familiar dishes--adventure is good.
