The Best Food in San Francisco!
If you were only in the Bay Area for one day and wanted to have the most divine food experience you could have -- and even better if you happen to be vegan or have food allergies -- the choice is easy: Millennium. Omnivores I have taken to this restaurant are overwhelmed by the wide array of food options -- "everything sounds so good!"
From simple (deep fried oyster mushroom "calamari") to the complex, powerful to subtle orchestral arrangements of flavors will leave you swooning. You won't have room but you'll eat more anyway. Make sure you leave room for dessert. I find their creme brulee to be even better than the egg/dairy version.
Price: always go for the "Taste of Millennium" prix fixe for your first experience. Millennium is more pricey than standard vegan/vegetarian options but it's within range for most restaurants of the same caliber in San Francisco. It's plenty cheaper than French Laundry! They offer special Prix Fixe dinners and you can definitely do it "on the cheap" if you pick the right dishes -- you won't regret dining at Millennium.
Millennium is also great about any food allergies or restrictions. I also highly recommend their Thanksgiving dinner -- it's a really great experience.
Get on the mailing list so you can hear about upcoming events and classes. I recently took a class there and found chef Eric Tucker to be charming, knowledgeable, patient and so well organized.
