EOS Restaurant & Wine Bar, San Francisco

Owner Chef Arnold Eric Wong creates a menu delicately fusing European and Asian elements into every dish. The Tamarind Lamb and Vegetable Kebabs with Spaghetti Squash Spanakopita leaves one wondering how such distant flavors found themselves together in an entree. The wine bar offers over 400 popular and hard-to-find varieties from around the world. The management has also thoughtfully imported several cheeses from Europe to complement the wine tastings. A popular spot for young professionals, the decor is airy and bright in a French-Bistro-meets-California-Casual sort of way, and the service is great. Parties and events are a regular feature of the restaurant. See the website for further information.
