Recently named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of San Francisco’s “ best new restaurants,” Tablespoon is sure to please with savory offerings prepared by chef/owner Robert Reischer, a 28 out of 29 Zagat star while at the decidedly more opulent Erna’s Elderberry House outside Yosemite.
“Upscale dining should be affordable for everyone and not limited to a downtown crowd” Reischer believes. “Destination quality food, combined with neighborhood friendliness and attentive service are the cornerstones of Tablespoon’s credo.”
Tablespoon’s $10 Specials from 10-midnight Monday- Saturday, a Sunday 3 course prix fixe menu with choices under $23 and no corkage the first Monday of each month, have expanded the variety of price point options that savvy San Franciscans diners demand. With presentations worthy of higher priced locales, Tablespoon is a definite bargain appreciated by its sophisticated and loyal repeat customers.
