Lynn & I first came to Nob Hill a year ago. We came in for a drink when we arrived early for our reservations at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, and thought we should come back for dinner . . . so we did.

There IS a theory that (see Kayla's review) people will make fun of you or that you shouldn't eat here or be wowed here if you live in the City (or in the SF Bay area). But Nob Hill is better than Michael Mina's restaurant in the St. Francis. Seriously.

The wine list is serious, AND seriously overpriced. BUT, I do have to say, a careful review of the list CAN find some serious bargains. (Indeed, the sommelier came over after half-way through our meal to ask who ordered the wine -- and complimented me on the Champagne and the white Burgundy I selected.)

The lobster pot pie is FANTASTIC! Yes, it's a signature dish; yes, it's a bit of a cliche. But damn! it's amazingly rich, flavorful, and to-die-for . . . .

Rumour has it the menu and/or the concept is soon changing here. So get it while you can.

Only complaint: it is ridiculously expensive. So figure it's really four-and-a-half stars . . .
4 stars
