"Rich Table in Hayes Valley is one of the rare places that always surprises us, in the best way, every time we visit. We marvel at the ever-changing mix of creative dishes, like sardine potato chips with a whole sardine slotted through the middle, porcini-dusted donuts with a side of melted cheese, or bread infused with actual Douglas fir. Their menu changes depending on what’s in season, but you’ll also see things like sea urchin cacio e pepe, aged duck with fattoush and sumac, or a creamsicle and mandarin granita for dessert." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
