"Angler opened on the Embarcadero in 2018, as a spinoff from Michelin-starred Saison, and it’s focused on seafood with some luxurious options and add-ons. Fish picks up flavor in the woodfired oven and smokers, and there are Parkerhouse rolls with cultured seaweed butter, grilled whole lobster, and hand-dived scallops, not to mention whole sea bream, aged black cod, and more. If that’s not enough, the restaurant launched a three-course lunch for $45 a person between noon and 2:30 p.m." - Dianne de Guzman, Justine Jones
