Client Dinner Restaurants in San Francisco

The table has to work for conversation, the service has to run without you managing it, and the choice should say you know the city without trying too hard. These guides cover the variations that come up in practice: a guest who does not want a steakhouse, dietary needs you learned about that afternoon, an early seating before a flight, a dinner that has to justify its line on the expense report.
