Here Are All the Michelin Starred Restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area | Eater SF

"The Pac Heights neighborhood standout still shines with courses of seasonal vegetables and fresh pastas. (1 star)" - Eater Staff

"Trained at Quince, Chef Alexander Hong has a true gift for pasta at this Pacific Heights perch where a rooftop garden provides herbs, edible flowers, herbs and seasonal vegetables. Smoky potato zlikrofi drizzled with sharp plum mostarda and shaved horseradish, or thick strascinati bathed in a ‘nduja-infused sauce with tender butter beans and lovage are two highlights. His ricotta gnudi are exemplars of the form: cloud-soft, accented by crisp fried sage and bright pops of sour cherry.In addition to a pair of pastas, discover some deliciously contemporary small bites, including madai crudo with yuzu and cured egg yolk, or dry-aged beef tartare with a hint of pink peppercorn. The duck breast course is truly a sight to behold—complete with its brilliant trinity of golden-crisped skin, juicy meat and earthy red kuri squash purée." - Michelin Inspector

The Best Restaurants and Bars to Eat and Drink in Pacific Heights | Eater SF

"There’s no shortage of Cal-Italian food in San Francisco, and Sorrel claims the title of being the Pac Heights neighborhood spot for Michelin-starred dining. Chef Alex Hong spent time in the kitchen at three-Michelin-starred Quince before taking his talents to this side of town. The full tasting menu costs $185, but there’s also an option for an abbreviated five-course menu for $115. Plus, if you can catch one of the eight seats at the bar, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis, you can order from a selection of a la carte plates and low-ABV cocktails. This is a great way to catch some of Hong’s cooking as he readies his two new Ferry Building projects set to open in 2025." - Dianne de Guzman

"Sorrel, the one-Michelin-star restaurant nestled against Pacific Heights, now offers a shorter and more affordable tasting menu. The five-course seasonal tasting menu ($115) spans two hours and includes dishes like local halibut with clarified coconut and black cod with squash blossoms and kombu. The eight-seat bar also offers an a la carte menu on a first-come, first-served basis." - Eater Staff
