THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Dining Room Restaurant Review:

THE DINING ROOM, A GAYOT TOP 40 RESTAURANT IN THE U.S. IN 2011, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2006 AND 2005, HAS CLOSED The Dining Room has been among the best restaurants in San Francisco since it opened in 1991. Its exquisite, formal décor, top-of-the-line wine list and ultra-professional service combine to create a showcase for the food, which has passed from the hands of Gary Danko, to Sylvain Portay, and now to Ron Siegel. The menu offers such starters as kampachi sashimi, osetra caviar, yuzu gelée and Asian pear marinade, and salsify soup with black truffles. Entrées feature sophisticated fish options which may include Atlantic skate wing, Dungeness crab, black trumpets and bamboo rice. Diners with heartier appetites can indulge in the Sonoma duck breast or the filet of beef accompanied by artichokes, chanterelles and red wine sauce. The nine-course tasting menu is very worthwhile, and even more so with wine pairings. Desserts may range from a condensed milk panna cotta with coffee granita to the chocolate Manjari cake.
