Town Hall

It may be surprising to find a fine dining restaurant that specializes in familiar flavors when so many chefs prefer the exotic, but Town Hall takes the good ol’ American meal to its highest peaks. A large dining room designed to feel like an old school house provides an ambiance as comforting as the food. Executive Chefs Mitchell and Steven Rosenthal along with partner and maitre d' Doug Washington, share their love for refined tradition with dishes like Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Peanut Tasso Crusted Pork Chop. Some diners may even forget the surrounding skyscrapers of SOMA, San Francisco.

Ana Mandara

Top 10 Best Restaurants

Often referred to as the restaurant that Don Johnson and Cheech Marin own, Ana Mandara’s real stars are Executive Chef Khai Duong and Sommelier Joanna Breslin. Chef Duong’s French twist on Vietnamese cuisine has earned the restaurant immense praise and Breslin’s extensive wine list has earned Ana Mandara the Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence every year since the restaurant's inception. Ana Mandera is translated as “beautiful refuge,” but more specifically it refers to a 700-year old Vietnamese story of forbidden love. This mysterious romanticism, the restaurant's dramatic décor, the wine and the food are enough to keep diners returning year after year.
