Coffee Isn’t an Afterthought at These Michelin-Starred San Francisco Fine Dining Restaurants | Eater SF

"On Nob Hill I experienced a Michelin-starred coffee program that feels deliberately theatrical and precise: beverage director David Kolvek oversees a tableside siphon service that highlights Sunset District’s Andytown Coffee, takes about five to eight minutes, and arrives on a handsome tray with a butane burner and full siphon gear. The siphon produces a clean, light cup and an interactive, long-form moment that Kolvek says often amazes guests; Michelin even singled out the siphon service in its guide. The restaurant has held a star since 2012, Cheney and Kolvek joined in 2014, and the team treats the coffee as an elevated, discovery-rich finale — “almost a bowtie of wonder,” in Kolvek’s words." - Paolo Bicchieri
