Fodor's Review:

A perennially hot scene, this head-turning venue of San Francisco's An family is a surreal reproduction of colonial Vietnam. Exotic fish swim in a floor-to-ceiling aquarium and through a glass-topped "river," sunk into the marble floor, which meanders toward the bar. The French-influenced Southeast Asian menu includes lemongrass-scented bouillabaisse and filet mignon with ponzu glaze. Colossal tiger prawns and whole Dungeness crab simmered in sake, chardonnay, and cognac parade out of the "secret kitchen" (a kitchen-within-a-kitchen to which access is strictly limited to An family members, thereby protecting treasured recipes).

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
