When putting together this guide to the best high-end restaurants in San Francisco, the inKind team considered a lot of different factors. What are their main course offerings? How hard (or easy) is it to get a reservation? Is the menu chef-chosen, or decided by the diners? All of these questions helped us narrow down our list of restaurants to highlight some of the best high-end restaurants currently available in San Francisco.

This Michelin-starred restaurant from Chef Dustin Falcon features a meat-driven menu, highlighting the elevated and exclusive cuts of Japanese A5 wagyu. Located in San Francisco's Design District and emphasizing wood-fired cooking, diners will fall in love with this marriage of American and Japanese sensibilities.
Niku Steakhouse serves a seasonally-changing menu of small plates and innovative sides like "chawanmushi, maitake mushrooms confited in wagyu fat, and crispy pig ears." Wine lovers will also adore their award-winning wine program focusing on both Old and New World offerings.
Our Recommendation
Order from their ember-roasted menu to get prime cuts of meat cooked with a wood-fired grill. Pair it with their crispy potato sides and finish with a black sesame ice cream with hints of mochi cake, passion fruit, and candied peanut.
