Fifth Floor
Address: 12 Fourth Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
The chic Fifth Floor restaurant acts as a culinary and visual bridge connecting the Bay area and executive chef Laurent Manrique’s native Southwestern France. The menu is both refreshingly modern and faultlessly traditional, with one dish having a provenance traced to King Henry IV’s table. Fifth Floor’s décor enhances the experience of regional pastiche, with a color scheme that evokes the landscape of both regions. Cool ocean blues mingle with sandy ochres and wine reds, colors that embody not only the surrounding Bay area, but simultaneously transport the diner to Southern France. An evening at Fifth Floor is an exploration in the complexities of our global community, the uniqueness of regional differences and the surprising parallels connecting us all.

Jardiniere
Address: 300 Grove Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
Jardiniere exudes the sultry decadence of a 1920’s era speakeasy. Pat Kuleto’s décor is the height of opulence, with marble and mahogany accents illuminated by warm, amber lighting and cloaked in lush velvet drapes that seem to seclude the restaurant’s revelry from the outside world. With an inverted champagne glass dome, and champagne buckets adorning the Art Deco-style balcony railings, Jardiniere drips with bubbly excess. Chef and co-owner Traci Des Jardins’s French and California-inspired menu is as improvisational and lavish as the Jazz-era décor, changing regularly according to the season and the chef’s own culinary whims. Nightly live jazz completes the stylish ambiance, adding to an atmosphere that is both nostalgically classic and unfailingly hip.

Masa's
Address: 648 Bush Street, San Francisco, CA 94108
Masa’s has mastered elegant simplicity. Executive chef Gregory Short continues the Masa tradition of exquisitely prepared and well-paired contemporary French dishes presented in a select assortment of tasting menus. Masa’s menu is trimmed of excess fat, leaving only the most succulent and high quality of dishes organized into overwhelmingly indulgent six and nine-course dinners. Like its pared-down menu, Masa’s décor exudes a confident and precise minimalism. Dark chocolate walls contrast with stark white tablecloths, while vases filled with pink and white roses and black and white toile chairs add notes of pastoral charm. The overall effect suggests Masa’s is a study in the ease and sophistication of culinary expertise at its best.

La Folie
Address: 2316 Polk Street, San Francisco, CA 94109
With colorful flower boxes, large picture windows, and a sunny saffron-colored sign, La Folie exudes a charming Frenchness. Inside, a luminous dining room in warm hues and lush fabrics is an elegant canvas for the presentation of Executive Chef Roland Possat’s French and California-inspired creations. The prix-fixe menu whimsically explores the interplay between tradition and experimentation: classic French ingredients like foie gras, frog legs, and snails mingle with dishes featuring lobster vanilla sauce and oxtail stuffed calamari. While, as its name suggests, La Folie has a playful streak of madness, it is more the result of a masterful and supremely enjoyable mad genius.
