XRED EYEZ Guide Note
The Apothecarium is a beautiful space — go for the experience as much as the product. Staff knowledge is among the best in SF.
Grant Achatz's three-Michelin-star temple of modernist cuisine — edible helium balloons, tablecloth desserts, and multi-hour tasting menus that redefine what a meal can be. Consistently ranked among the world's 50 best restaurants for two decades.
Chef Niki Nakayama's Michelin two-star kaiseki in West LA — the most rigorous Japanese tasting menu in America. Seasonal, deeply personal, and notoriously difficult to book. A once-in-a-city dining experience.
Eric Ripert's Michelin three-star seafood temple — the greatest fish restaurant in America, arguably the world. Thirty-plus years at the absolute top of New York dining. The tasting menu is a lesson in restraint and precision.
