Lazy Bear

This dining spot is firmly rooted as part of San Franciso's dining landscape. The nightly tasting menu is served in a swanky, bi-level warehouse decked out like a mogul's hunting lodge. The menu has a sweeping creative scope, drawing on both nostalgia and current culinary trends with a confident swagger.Highlights include a trio of oysters, each gussied up in a different fashion: raw with pickled ramp foam and rhubarb; broiled à la Rockefeller, in a creamy green garlic glaçage; or fried with a spicy XO chili oil and tangy ranch. Bold flavors presented with flair are a common thread, like in a buttery A5 Wagyu ribeye paired with a sweet-and-savory oxtail and sour cherry tart, perfect lattice crust, and all.
