Did our semi-annual run to SFO this weekend and had dinner reservations at Mourad, Sons & Daughters and COI.

Mourad was a repeat visit for us but this time we went more a la carte, ordering a collection of dishes as opposed to one of the 'platters'. Food was excellent as always although the service was initially a bit rushed. Still very tasty and great value.

Sons & Daughters could best be described as provocative. Some of the flavour combinations really had us scratching our heads (in a good way) especially a cannelloni-like combination of truffle, crab and mushroom that we singled out as exceptional. Interesting wine pairings and very innovative food without pushing too much process over product.

COI was another first time for us and was simply stunning. Very composed dishes each with a unique palette of flavours and consistently great - just what you want in a tasting menu. Wine pairings were a touch pricey but well thought out and service was both well informed and engaging. We will most certainly return.
