Fifth Floor Named One of Top 10 New Restaurants of 2011

We are proud and honored to have been chosen by SF Gate as one of the Top 10 New Restaurants of 2011. Although the restaurant is not new, we have seen some major changes over the past year - most notably the addition of our Executive Chef, David Bazirgan:

"David Bazirgan revitalized this once top-rated hotel restaurant with his New American food. He produces three menus: a casual bar menu, an a la carte menu and a six-course tasting menu ($85), which offers a beautifully executed progression of dishes, balancing tradition with cutting-edge techniques. His cooking incorporates those seemingly contradictory rustic and refined elements that only those creating at the highest level can achieve."

SF Chronicle - 3.5 Star Review Here are a few of our favorite excerpts from Michael Bauers' review in the San Francisco Chronicle. Fifth Floor Soars with New Chef OVERALL: 3 ½ Stars FOOD: 3 ½ Stars SERVICE: 3 Stars ATMOSPHERE: 3 Stars "A good chef knows this; a great adapts just enough to meet diner's expectations without losing the creative spark. At Fifth Floor, in San Francisco's Hotel Palomar, Bazirgan proves he is truly a great chef." "The chef's menu, where some dishes change nightly, offers a beautifully executed progression of dishes, with one foot in tradition and the other balancing on the cutting edge." "The dish has seemingly contradictory rustic and refined elements that only those cooking at the highest level can achieve." "The combination shows clarity, yet is effortlessly complex." "The five second courses are all brilliantly executed, even the more expected items offer an element of surprise that sets them apart." "Once people try his food, they'll return. So I'd advise diners to get in on the ground level and soar to the Fifth Floor." "It's a wine lover's dream, a list that unfolds over 37 pages, broken up by cartoons, quotes and descriptions. It also features a wide breadth of selections in geography, style, age and varietal." "When it comes to the bar offerings, look up again. The restaurant serves up exceptional cocktails, and you have to love a place that features four versions of a Negroni." Learn More
