This is one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. I like the small
plates especially the Shitake Mushroom Dumplings. They have a flavor
you can't imagine...yummy. The prices are a bit on the high side
and the service can be off and one, but over all the food is what makes
it for me. Save room for dessert.

Impressive restaurant is the perfect place to go to find out what
this Asian fusion thing is all about. Wonderful and unique flavors
in most everything we ordered. For instance salads, so often
boring elsewhere, were a real eye-opener here, with unusual
ingredients and dressings. Tea-smoked ducked with a Western
twist worked a lot better than any version of this I've had in conventional
Asian restaurants. And naturally a superb wine list, which you'd
expect from a place with an associated ambitious wine bar. We
had a flight of mixed reds that was amazing. Still, I'm giving
it four stars because the cooking was relatively straightforward
-- which means that yes, I would find it very difficult to give
five stars to any Asian restaurant. But being straightforward
and unfussy can be a virtue.

Definitely overrated.
The service was inattentive at best for the entire meal, and at
times was condescending.
I had the braised lamb shank and my companion the duck cooked in
tea. Both were good, although the vegetables were too underdone
for my taste.
It was good... we enjoyed the food, but there is no excuse for the
kind of service we got, especially at those prices. There are
plenty of other great fusion places in SF that have great food,
great service, and charge a reasonable amount... save your money
and go to Betelnut or Azie, or The House.

i think this restaurant is absolutely wonderful! the decor's
beautiful and quite stylish. we were seated upstairs, and i personally
prefer it upstairs since there are less people upstairs (some
servers came upstairs to use the bathroom, because it's crowded
downstairs). it's kinda noisy downstairs, but it wasn't so bad
upstairs.
the food was delicious! i guess i'm biased since i love asian fusion
cuisine. the food's worth every penny. i had latte with my sorbet
dessert, which was pretty good. (please, refer to bernard hwang's
review for the food we ate.)
at night, it's hard to see the entrance. so look for a mysterious
restaurant on the corner. it's worth the effort to look for it.

EOS has a both a classy and lively atmosphere. The food is creatively
displayed and delicious. If you are not in the mood to spend over
$100 for 2, you should at least save this place for a special occasion.

I recently went to this restaurant with friends. I found the food to
be so nouvelle as to be tiresome. Everything showed up with shredded
fruit or vegetables all over it. Some of the entrees were fairly good,
but it the presentation was like a whiskey sour with all sorts of
friut in it and an umbrella on top.

This place is fantastic. We had a nice table in the balcony,
which seemed quieter than the bustling downstairs, yet you could
always peer over the edge to see the activity when you wanted.
We had the oyster special (with three dipping sauces) and shitake
dumplings for starters. Both were terrific, but the dumplings
were to die for! Great stuff.
My partner had the filet mignon which got great comments, and I
had the duck cooked in tea. The duck was delicious, although it
seemed a tad rubbery. The plate was filled with sweet potatoes,
and a large array of vegetables.. enough for two people actually!
There are large portions.
For dessert I had the carmelized bananas which also had a cut
apple, cake, chocolate, cream, and berries. YUM! and oh so
filling. My partner had the torte and loved it.
Most of the fun was the presentation and exploring your plate.
There was an adventure, surprise and fun at every turn of the
fork- which I find terrific fun for dining! Even my carrots
we ...

I had the clams in claypot for starters. Beautifully presented, but
awkward to eat and the sauce was too spicy. I'm used to claypots being
very peppery and that's fine, but the spiciness of this dish
conflicted with the clams' subtle taste.
Then it was the duck breast for main entree. Again, the presentation
is exquisite, but it was the same bok choy and tied string bean that
was done for my appetizer. The duck was delicious and wasn't fatty. It
came with ginger cole slaw, which was interesting but not great.
The lemon creme brulee was the best thing. I'd go back for that. And
the accompanying ginseng tea in iron pots was very satisfying.
This is a fun place to go. But the blending of European and Asian
cooking is a little bit forced.

EOS is a wonderful restaurant and I have thoroughly
enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere on every visit.
My friend and I shared appetizers--the fried calamari with
a great aioli sauce, and the polenta. Both servings were
more than generous and mouth-watering delicious.
I then ordered the the salmon entree. At first I was
reluctant to try it, since my luck with salmon dishes has
not been the best. However, after the first bite, I knew
I was in for a treat--it was cooked to perfection and the
presentation was first class.
Even after all that food, we had to try the desserts! My
favorite has to be the hazlenut torte. I would have ordered
a second helping, but there wasn't room.
Also, check out the wine selection. I cannot imagine that
there are many restaurants with such an extensive list, and
price range.
Go---try it out!!!!!
