Restaurant Details

A subtly illuminated, luxuriously appointed temple to the four Nob Hill robber barons who built the first transcontinental railroad across the United States. The menu is as robustly American as the restaurant's Gilded Age ambiance. The food isn't as ethereal as the stratospheric prices might indicate, however. Cocktail piano sparkles in the intimate hearthside bar, a fine place to contemplate the establishment's many historical artifacts. Standard but comprehensive wine list.

  • Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
