Stylish French-Asian fusion in an over-the-top South of Market setting.

The Scene
The ultramodern interior design of this former warehouse space includes tilted mirror panels above the bar and modish light fixtures, but muted lighting and comfy seating make for a cozy, urbane dining experience. A pagoda-inspired central stair, sculptural paper lanterns and touches of red add Asian accents.

The Food
The seasonal menu gathers with abandon from the continent of Asia and indulges freely in French fusion, and the fine results are served family-style. Start with spicy prawns, dredging them through silky, garlicky soy reduction. A popular tuna sashimi roll is cleverly wrapped in paper-thin cucumber, its pool of ponzu making for a drippy experience. Mains might include a whole black bass that's crispy-skinned yet flaky inside, and tender steak impresses with a tandoori spice sauce. Don't miss the side of Szechuan eggplant, a fabulous version of the classic embellished with whole cloves of candied garlic.
