Gibson

Chef Robin Song’s relaxed, Art Deco-inspired new restaurant, Gibson, in Hotel Bijou, opened in the Tenderloin last month with live-fire cooking and quality cocktails (try a silky, clarified Japanese Bloody Mary). Whether you prefer the charcoal-grilled sourdough bread, clams cooked in hay (a unique play off clam chowder in a sourdough bowl) or the decadent caviar service served with fried foods, the menu holds one pleasure after another.
