"San Francisco has so many restaurants with tasting menus, there's even one (for better or worse) for dogs. These restaurant experiences can be some of the most exciting in town-but they can also be the most expensive, with $200+ meals becoming standard at fine dining spots around town. That's where this guide comes in. It's got 11 spots with tasting menus under $100, where you can get a fantastic meal and not cry when you see the bill."
"$65 for 4 courses At this Bernal Heights restaurant, hyper-local ingredients dictate what you'll see on the frequently changing four-course menu. The dishes, like ricotta gnudi in brown butter broth and deconstructed pappardelle with aged duck ragu, could have easily been dropped on your table from some stuffy, big-deal fine dining restaurant. But Marlena is the opposite of pretentious, and you'll feel like a regular even after your first visit."
