A southern California transplant (where it was once a be-seen destination among celebs), this large and bustling restaurant offers an extensive menu of Japanese-meets-French specialities and sweeping Bay views to enjoy it by. The toughest decision is deciding which country to lean towards when ordering - the sushi is excellent, but the grilled meat specialities are also always tempting.
