Located in the heart of Polk Gulch in San Francisco, Sushi Sato Restaurant & Whiskey Bar offers fresh fish from Tokyo. Sushi Sato’s Crab Miso Risotto features a rich and buttery miso cream risotto with lump red crab. It is perfect for a chilly night and pairs wonderfully with the Dengaku Eggplant and Wagyu Roast.
These donuts are pillowy soft and amazingly decant when paired with the butterscotch dipping sauce, which provides a perfect hint of sweetness. The best way to end a meal!

There is nothing more comforting and legendary in the Bay Area food scene. This is a perfectly slow-roasted chicken that’s fall-apart tender with a warm bread salad packed with currants and pine nuts and the most delicious bread cubes that soak up all the juices. It’s a great dinner any time of year, but exactly what you want to cozy up with on a chilly evening with a good bottle of wine.
Farmhouse Thai never disappoints when it comes to flavor. If you’re a fan of short rib, the Panang Neua was made for you. It’s a slow-braised bone-in short rib in a rich panang curry that melts in your mouth and is the ultimate comfort food for the colder months.
