Dining room at Fifth Floor Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco, CAFeaturing a crisp décor of cream-colored leather armchairs and dark, polished wood floors, this upmarket space feels clubby yet inviting thanks in large part to its professional and natural staff. David Bazirgan (Chez Papa Resto, Baraka) leads the kitchen in producing a seasonally shifting menu. A winter dinner starts spicy and tart with a Friar's Pint cocktail that mixes Guinness and Plymouth gin. Dishes may include a sweet and lightly salty sautéed daurade with blood-orange-braised fennel; soft, braised suckling pig with savoy cabbage; or a rich lamb rib dish that plays mushrooms and creamy nettle purée against sharp arugula---all pure pleasure to eat. Selections from master sommelier Emily Wines' amusingly annotated list of more than 1,500 bottles further freshens the flavors of each course. Bazirgan's intriguing bar menu and cocktails---particularly martinis---artfully designed by Jacques Bezuidenhout provide more than enough reason to visit the lounge at the front of the restaurant as well.
