Description:
- Often ranked in the Top 100 San Francisco restaurants by local polls, this fine restaurant specializes in Swiss cuisine with a handful of German dishes. Chef and owner Andrew Thrope spent years cooking in the best Swiss hotels and his traditional training is evident today. The wait staff speaks German and French, as well as English, and valet services are available. The decor evokes a Swiss chalet with carved beams in the ceiling and Alpine knick-knacks throughout. The dining room is large, but surprisingly cozy, offering both table and booth service. Most people come for the great fondue. There are many options; entrees feature blends of meats and Swiss cheeses, with bread and veggies for dipping. For dessert, dip fruit and marshmallows into rich, milk chocolate. This place is also recognized for its fine wine list, given the Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator magazine.
