Editorial Review for Fish and Farm – by Daniel Liszt
The Scene
Foodies and groups staying at the Mark Twain sink into chocolate-colored tufted booths and fill the single-room space with conversation. The cozy color scheme is complemented by eggshell-blue walls decked with vintage boat oars, a giant clock, and paintings of fishermen and farmers. All-organic cocktails provide a chic spin on classics, such as the addictive Taylor St. margarita, served martini-style (sans salted rim) with sweet agave nectar.
The Food
The New American menu changes daily, but one thing's certain: All ingredients originate from within 100 miles of the kitchen. Made-to-order, pan-cooked chowder--filled with plump seafood and a hint of smoky bacon--is perfect for those chilly SF nights. Stellar entrees include a grilled pork chop, whose crispy edges give way to a super-juicy, salt-brined center. Tried-and-true grilled salmon gets paired with a variety of flavors, including tender squash, diced pancetta and housemade potato gnocchi.
Hits: The restaurant supports local farmers, while diners enjoy a daily refreshed menu.
Misses: An occasional hotel guest may wander errantly through the dining room while searching for a hotel exit.

Insider Tips
Fun FactThe restaurant's own rooftop garden grows organic herbs, including mint, rosemary and tarragon, that are used in specialty cocktails.
The ExtrasAdditional green touches include reclaimed-bamboo flooring, recycled marble counters, a bottle crusher for efficient recycling and a dedication to donating used cooking oil to a bio-diesel plant.
Save MoneyCorkage is only $5 per bottle of California wine ($10 for all others). However, the charge is waived with a bottle purchase.
Where to SitRequest the far-left corner booth for the best view of the room. For a more casual dining experience, head to the separate bar-lounge area in back.

Dinner on 1-26-07. Attentive service. Lamb was incredibly tender. oysters fresh. Great wine list and glassware. This place was full until closing time. I would go back anytime. Great vibe. And, if you can make these dishes at home, you should open your own restaurant.

Went here the other night and with high expectations - unfortunately it did not live up to standard. Food quality was average, taste was average - but nothing was exciting about it. I could make the dishes at home and they would taste the same. Very hard to recommend this place to anyone - I don't forsee it lasting too much longer in the SF dining scene.
Pros: corkage fee $5!!!
Cons: everything else
