Marina, San Francisco · restaurant
A second-floor cocktail lounge above a Cow Hollow corner building, Left Door is intimate, vintage-lit, and organized around the ritual of a proper martini. The caviar bumps and aged wagyu bites give the food menu real standing, and the Valrhona mousse choco taco is the one thing nobody expects to be on the menu and everyone ends up ordering.
Tsar Nicoulai caviar on a shot of vodka, the quick ritual that makes any night an occasion.
Velvety espresso martini, the standout cocktail in a room built around serious drinking.
Valrhona mousse, cajeta, candied cacao nib, hazelnut, and vanilla ice cream in a crispy taco shell.
