This 3-Michelin starred restaurant was an epic experience!!! We reserved a table for five weeks before because getting reservation is difficult. Frankly, I wasn&rsquo;t aware of Benu&rsquo;s reputation but that night of I think 20-course dinner was truly delightful.

餐厅很有自己的特色。提供精致的亚洲融合菜品菜单。小笼包和北京烤鸭，让我感觉好像回到了国内一样，味道真的很不错。每一口都很美味。室内装潢极简主义，采用淡白色调，墙壁几乎空空如也。完全集中在食物本身。让人不禁感叹主理人的品味真的很好

The restaurant has its own unique character. It offers an exquisite menu of Asian fusion dishes. The soup dumplings and Peking duck made me feel like I was back home; they were truly delicious. Every bite was delicious. The interior is minimalist, with pale white tones and almost bare walls. The focus is entirely on the food itself. It&#39;s amazing that the owner has such good taste.

环境感觉还是非常不错的，菜式的总体性价比也不错

The environment feels very good, and the overall cost performance of the dishes is also good

Bay Area Star Picking Tour✨✨✨ The first one is Saison. It moved to the old factory building opposite the current AT&amp;T Park in 2013. It is a restaurant with a more casual and free feeling. The modern design highlights the overall innovative dishes, and the fresh ingredients bring out the most original and special taste of the dishes. Except for the main dishes, which are a bit salty, the other tastes are very good. I especially like the sea urchin and desserts, which are very smooth and refreshing without being greasy. The wine pairing is quite ordinary, and there is no particularly outstanding wine.

Marlowe is a restaurant with a cozy glamorous vibe. We went in for dinner, the place was full but you don&rsquo;t feel overcrowded. The service was also prompt for a full house. 

I starts my drink with Breakfast old fashioned, of course it&rsquo;s a spirit forward choice but it was done just right. A nice touch to the classic. Then later we went for a bottle of red which is priced very reasonably. 

For food I had the Marlowe burger and brown butter Brussels sprouts for sides. The burger is excellent, the fries was also very nice with it. My friend ordered a steak which received very good comments as well.

I went here twice during my one week stay because the food was so good I could NOT get enough. The lunch menu was superb with the ability to pick and choose the taco of your choice along with tons of other options but why even mess with a classic. Then for dinner they had platos that were absolutely perfection. The chips are that perfect thin-crispy that you just cannot get enough of and the range of salsas and dips will leave you wanting more.

This is a very popular restaurant. We have been here twice. The first time there were too many people and we couldn&#39;t get in line. The second time we made a reservation in advance and didn&#39;t have to wait for a long time. The food was very good, the environment was very good, and the presentation was also very beautiful.

This handmade pasta with truffle sauce has a very rich sauce made from black truffle and minced meat. Unfortunately, the noodles were too soft, which wasted such good ingredients. It may also be a matter of personal taste. I don&rsquo;t like this dish.

San Francisco 2022 Michelin 1 star 🌟 French dinner! 
Near Union Square, go up to the third floor, a very beautiful and elegant restaurant, not big, less than ten tables. Still Michelin service, Michelin standard. Worth recommending. 
White Corn White Corn Delicious and sweet sweet corn soup 
Seafood Salad Seafood Salad The name is relatively ordinary, the dishes are quite amazing, the bottom layer is lobster jelly, the top center is caviar, and the most amazing is raw sea urchin 
Black Cod Black Cod Great cod, sweet and delicious 
Roasted Venison Loin Steak Very tender, pepper sauce is great 
Mignardises Cart Dessert Cart The most amazing thing is this dessert cart, there are more than a dozen small desserts, satisfying all your fantasies #MichelinRestaurant
