"Fine dining restaurant Saison billed Angler as a casual spinoff restaurant, but there’s nothing casual about this place. The Embarcadero spot feels perfectly suited for trading stock tips with a friend or sitting next to tables full of puffer vest-ed folks who agree that Dreamforce is the highlight of fall. The dining room is a cross between a fancy seafood house and a hunting lodge thanks to decorative wall fish, a taxidermy bear, and a big open kitchen with a wood-burning hearth. The menu is both seafood and meat-focused, so expect to dine on wild swordfish steaks, meaty antelope tartare topped with herbs, and a whole head of radicchio doused in an intense XO sauce.
