Best Fancy, Fancy Date Restaurant with No Dead Animals (or Their Effluvia)

Anywhere

Taking a vegan out to a fancy dinner can be an arduous undertaking, because in

most circles " fancy " means meat, butter, and cream. Even vegetarian restaurants

tend to ladle on the dairy products, and no one wants to watch his or her vegan

sweetie politely pick their way through a $22 salad and a side of asparagus

because the entrée menu is animal-based fluids on parade. Which is why we're so

grateful for the existence of Millennium, especially since it moved from Howard

Johnson's to the Savoy Hotel. The old location always felt a little too ’80s

yuppie serial killer, while the food was delicious but served in tiny portions,

with acres of white plate stretching out on either side and those poncey

drizzles all over everything. The new location manages to feel impressively

swank yet cozy, and the food is more substantial but still innovative and

remarkable. The foxy wait staff are as they always were: suave, competent, and

not in the least like waiter droids. The sight of a bartender

shaking up a martini behind the long, dark-wood bar with sleeves rolled up and

tribal tattoos showing always reminds us how glad we are to live in San

Francisco. 580 Geary, S.F. (415) 345-3900.

Best Vegetarian Restaurant

It's safe to say — if it's safe to say anything, really, in the USA PATRIOT Act,

orange-alert America of George the Second — that vegetarian concerns have been

mainstreamed these days. But we should never forget, as our readers have not,

that Greens, at Fort Mason Center, gave vegetarian cooking a high gloss of

sophistication and appeal long before it was fashionable to do so. And it still

does. And the Golden Gate Bridge views are still beyond compare, especially at

sunset on a clear day. Fort Mason Center, Bldg. A, Marina at Laguna, S.F. (415)

771-6222.

due to my high amount of emails, I am unable to answer everyone's emails on

vegetarian questions.
