Izakaya Rintaro. San Francisco. California. 11.21.2015.

I was dropping in to say hi to my friend Sylvan and to ask him about recommendations for my Japan trip next spring. It turns out they were preparing for their biggest night of the year. Go figure since they've been named one of the top 10 new restaurants in America by Bon Appétit.

My friend Gabriela (Grupo Contramar) opened a new restaurant here in San Francisco and they just started dong Sunday brunch. They will be doing tacos on the other side of the restaurant starting this coming Tuesday. So you all be able to do both fine dining and tacos. We ordered almost the entire menu, but be sure to get the torta ahogada with pork carnitas.
