"Palette Tea House in Ghirardelli Square (from the Dragon Beaux people) commits to the art theme with full force—ceramic palette-shaped sauce dishes, anyone? While the theme feels somewhat kitschy, it does make this dim sum spot a lot of fun. Lobster har gow are injected with butter via tiny pipettes. Airy taro puffs are shaped like swans. And xiao long bao wrappers are bright red and green from beets and kale, respectively. Each dish would look right at home as a display at the deYoung. " - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
