I'm new to SF, and am looking to try the best of what this city has to offer (food-wise). Recently tried AQ and was blown away - does anyone have a restaurant that is comparable with, or even better than, AQ?
I was also really impressed by AQ, and I don't think there's anything better than AQ at its price point. To find comparable food I think you'd have to move up to the more expensive tasting-menu focused places.
