On the Fifth Floor

On my last trip to San Francisco, Bunny and I once again visited The Fifth Floor - a fantastic restaurant at the Hotel Palomar on 4th street. We've visited twice before, but to recap, the restaurant is on the fifth floor of the hotel, and features a New American menu filled with various game meats and organic produce. The new chef & decor highlight a sleek modern feel while retaining a good amount of charm and warmth to patrons. Our meal was excellent as always (although the waiter had a flair for the dramatic and was a little more enthusiastic about the meal than he should have been).
Without further ado, our meal:

The Fifth Floor recently redecorated as they welcomed their new head chef, David Bazigran.
