    Californian Italian

    Handmade pastas marry California ingredients with Italian technique in this perpetually crowded Mission dining room. Each dish—sea lettuce chitarra, ginger-filled caramelle—demonstrates the kitchen's restless creativity within disciplined simplicity.

  97. Rank 97. Harborview

    Cantonese Chinese

    A vast Cantonese dining room commands the Embarcadero with bay views from its sun-soaked patio and a polished interior that shifts between brightness and intimate shadow. The kitchen moves fluidly from dim sum carts at lunch to a showstopping Peking duck at dinner—lacquered mahogany skin, house-made sauce, the whole deliberate machinery of a room built to impress.

  99. A dinner here unfolds like a theater piece, with advance tickets and custom sets that change with the seasons. The cooking—visually inventive and genuinely flavorful—matters as much as the spectacle; a Mad Tea Party might begin in a hedge maze before unfolding across multiple rooms. Service has charm if not polish, and the whole affair rewards a willingness to be delighted.
