CALIFORNIAN
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
Chef Daniel Patterson's wild, eight-course tasting menu is like licking California's coast-
line: foraged purple ice-plant petals grace Sonoma duck's tongue, and wild-caught abalone
surfaces in pea-shoot tide pools. Decor recalls '70s Big Sur nudist colonies with shaggy
cushions and grasscloth walls - and only-in-California flavors and wine pairings ($105;
generous enough for two) inspire California dreaming. Eighteen percent service added;
valet parking. (

ITALIAN

No wonder chef-owner Michael Tusk won the 2011 James Beard Award - his rustic Italian
pastas and toothsome pizzas magically balance a few pristine, local flavors. Every bottle of
wine costs $40. Book ahead, or stop by for a 3pm to 5pm late lunch weekdays; the $24 prix
fixe is among SF's best dining deals. (

13 Liguria Bakery $

Bleary-eyed art students and Italian grandmothers are in line by 8am for the cinnamon-rais-
in focaccia hot out of the 100-year-old oven, leaving 9am dawdlers a choice of tomato or
classic rosemary, and noon stragglers out of luck. Take what you can get, and don't kid
yourself that you're going to save it for lunch. Cash only. (
