This hidden hideaway's culinary artistry and wonderful East-meets-West cuisine are an unbeatable combination.

The Scene
Cafe Kati is tucked away on a residential block off Fillmore Street with a slightly Mediterranean feel and plenty of color in the dining area. While the kitchen is known for taking time to prepare lovely objets d'art, the inviting surroundings, featuring soft lighting and warm wood textures, are cozy enough to forget about the wait.

The Food
The menu changes monthly, but dishes typically blend flavors from around the world. On the appetizer menu, diners might find goat cheese and grilled portobello mushrooms wrapped in phyllo and served with a plum wine and bing-cherry vinaigrette. Entrees feature dishes such as salmon tartare in wonton cones, avocado, wasabi and tagarashi; and miso glazed crispy skin wild salmon, udon noodles and tempura green beans. For dessert, try the butterscotch pudding, topped with a fashionable sugar spray.
