{BENU ... FINE DINING REDEFINED}








The wait is over. San Francisco's most hotly anticipated new restaurant recently opened its door with seasoned Chef Corey Lee (world-renowned Chef Thomas Keller protege) at the helm. Benu is the culmination of Lee's 15-year experience working at some of the most highly acclaimed restaurants in the world, including nearly nine years with Chef Keller as Chef de Cuisine at the French Laundry and as a Sous Chef at New York's Per Se. Benu distills fine dining down to the elements most relevant to modern diners: exquisite ingredients, unique flavors, precise technique an caring service. Defining subtle sophistication, Benu offers inspired, progressive American cuisine in a historic, cleanly design space that is sleek, contemporary and elegant.
The tasting menu varies between eight and 12 courses, reflecting seasonality, inspiration and evolution.
