Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in North Panhandle / USF

As always Spruce is delightful - a respite from the bustle of the city. The only downside is that lunch is now a two course meal in the dining room which we weren't expecting, so a bit difficult to eat lightly, but the food and service are truly exceptional.

This was first time my wife and I ate at Dalida, and we were not disappointed. The food is meant to be shared so going with a larger group will give you the chance to try more dishes. We started with fresh oysters, and then had the Fattoush salad (beets and persimmons) and the "Braking Bread". We then shared the Anatollan Erishte (Turkish noodles with mushrooms) and the Kayseri Manti (lamb dumplings). Every dish was excellent. The pace of the meal was wonderful and the atmosphere was delightful. They have a very extensive wine list and all price points both by the glass and full bottles. I was interested in some southern European wines I have never heard of and our server gave excellent descriptions. I was not disappointed with my choice. Our server was wonderful, knowledgeable, and gave us great service from when we were seated to when we paid at the end of the meal. I am already looking forward to a future visit.

Unassuming entrance, walk up the stairs, and wow! What a beautiful space. We had excellent service, knowledgeable and friendly. Food was amazing- we shared the French Toast and Eggs in a spicy tomato sauce (sorry! I don’t remember their Italian names). We will definitely be back.

We had the loviest anniversary dinner. The ambiance and service is absolute top tier. We were so spoiled from the welcome at the door to the end of our dining experience. The food is delicious. If we come back to San Francisco, we will definitely visit again.

Very attentive service, adorable theming, delicious food. Best wine-to-food pairing (in terms of each complementing--nay, _enriching_--the other) I have ever experienced.
