Financial District, San Francisco ยท restaurant
At the base of the Infinity Towers where SoMa meets the Embarcadero, Prospect runs a warm modern room with a wide central bar that anchors weekday evenings in this part of the city. The Liberty Duck (breast and confit leg) is the order regulars return for, though the Prospect Burger with Schmitz Ranch beef and Wagon Wheel cheese makes a compelling case of its own. A Wine Spectator-honored list ensures there's always something worth pouring alongside either.
