Description

And who, you might well ask, are those four referred to in the name of this award-winning restaurant? Those would be C.P. Huntington, Charles Crocker, Leland Stanford and Mark Hopkins, whose mansions made Nob Hill the literal and figurative pinnacle of San Francisco style in the days before the 1906 earthquake and fire. Amid the leather banquettes and potted palms that add a cachet of old money, award-winning Executive Chef Gloria Ciccarone-Nehls creates a menu that includes such eclectic offerings as Venison and Black Bean Chili with Crisp Honey-Spiced Onions, as well as nightly low-fat and vegetarian specials. The Flourless Chocolate-Expresso Gateau with Spun Sugar and Rasberries is a work of art on the plate and the palate. The Wine Spectator has singled out the wine list here as one of the best in the world.
