Welcome to Robin, Robert and Francis' restaurant. That is Williams, DeNiro and Coppola. After the scariest cab ride of my life my parents and I alighted in front of Rubicon, a dim sum toss from Chinatown. We were able to score last minute reservations for the early shift of dinner. The restaurant is narrowish and tall. Townhousey. The wine list represented some fine OR pinot. The menu featured seafood and Frenchish cuisine. Everything was wonderful. The desert was the most memorable--a crepe filled with creme and berries, topped with pumkin ice cream.
The reason this dive doesn't earn my favorite restaurant in SF tag is the price. Entrees run about $30 each. Not a place to eat on any semblance of a budget. It is like expensive wine. I remember the first time I had a taste of $125 burgundy. I hoped that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and the $15-$40 bottles. I could. It was better in every way. That is the difference this type of restaurant represents. A must if you are living large on the expense account. There is a pre fix tasting menu for $75. It's a nice way to try a little bit of everything. Make sure to speak with the sommelier. It's fun to hear someone speak so passionately about wine.
