RESTAURANT REVIEW
In a city filled with so many good places to eat a serious meal, Jason Fox’s restaurant in the Mission tends to get overlooked. But reviewers in the know tell us they’ve made multiple visits. Fox’s cooking style tends toward complicated plates; a typical meal might include oysters poached in their shells, Asian pear, horseradish, sorrel and finger lime; smoked sablefish with potato, lardo, sprouting broccoli, daikon radish and citrus vinaigrette; and hen poached in almond milk, cauliflower, grapes, vadouvan, grilled leek and verjus. And comments like “a fantastic restaurant with great service and delicious, imaginative food” and “in the running for the best restaurant in SF” demonstrate why it should be on your radar the next time you visit San Francisco.
