Menton

The food and wine at Menton, Chef Barbara Lynch's prix fix fine dining restaurant in Fort Point Channel,  is one of the most expensive meals in the city, and it is exquisite. I went during their "unofficial" restaurant week (back in August) which made this splurge worthy destination, affordable. (Though still expensive!) Chef de Cuisine and Top Chef Season 10 winner Kristen Kish puts out first rate dishes with a stunning presentation and flavor profiles beyond expectation.
