Culinary: Lunch at The Slanted Door – San Francisco, CA

Slanted Door - San Francisco

I was walking around SF on Sunday and decided to drop in to a place that has always been on my list but the wait for a table was absurd, like over 2 hours. It was 11AM on a Sunday and I walked in and grabbed a seat at the bar. It was quite an experience:

Overall, I had a great time dining here. The prices weren’t outrageous and the total bill came to $63. I do highly recommend it but try to make it about the food, meaning don’t hold a business dinner here. The delicacy of the food and the care in preparation was amazing. Certainly worth dropping in if you have some time. A full dinner for two will probably come to $100 without wine.
