Fodor's Expert Review GOZU

Chef-owner Marc Zimmerman introduced himself to the San Francisco dining scene running the kitchen for a local group of high-end steak houses, and his first personal restaurant project is the city's most compelling beef-centric dining experience. Elaborate preparations of prestigious Wagyu beef cooked on robata grills are the center of the $185 tasting menu and à la carte options at this minimalist chic Embarcadero restaurant. Several dishes incorporate Wagyu elements (blood, fat, or obscure parts, for example) in quieter, clever ways.
