Following up on my older review of this restaurant -- The SF Chronicle has named XYZ's Executive Chef, Malachi Harland, one of its "Rising Stars" for 2003:

I've been back many times since my initial writeup of this place, and the food continues to be seasonal, fresh, and perfectly prepared.

(G'day to Terry Haney, the awesome GM there, and Sally/Jennifer, the two super maitre'd's, if they should read this!)
