MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

This temple of culinary fusion in SoMa is where Chef Val M. Cantu turns out a parade of familiar dishes turned complex and deliciously unique.
The radiant servers merely enhance this deeply personal element. Start with a quick succession of snacks, like a Oaxacan green masa tart filled with smoked sturgeon mousse, or a mini infladita filled with guajillo chileatole and crowned with Hokkaido uni. A sliver of grilled Cavendish banana is then presented with savory dulce de leche mounted with caviar; while a lamb chop with green garlic salsa and morels is accompanied by a fragrant lamb jus- lemon- and cilantro-broth.
A scoop of buttery horchata ice cream with fresh strawberries and sweet coulis makes for a most memorable sendoff.
