With Wolfgang Puck as its founding chef and Pat Kuleto as its designer, Postrio is well known in San Francisco as one of the best places to see and be seen as well as to dine. Location: 545 Post Street, San Francisco, California

Dazzling cuisine. Celebrity clientele. Critically acclaimed chefs. Artful ambiance. These are the ingredients that combine to create the dynamic San Francisco establishment that is Postrio. Since it's opening in April 1989, Wolfgang Puck's Northern California restaurant maintains a strong local clientele and continues to garner international acclaim. Postrio is one of Northern California's most popular dining destinations, where guests are as comfortable in jeans as they are in a tuxedo; whether enjoying one of Wolfgang's gourmet pizzas or a four course meal and champagne.

The culinary genius of Puck's Post Street restaurant has always been the result of the efforts of a trio of chefs. Today, Puck along with our executive chefs, brothers, Mitchell and Steven Rosenthal continue the "trio" tradition.

Mitchell and Steven share responsibilities for all areas of the kitchen. Having worked together for the past 17 years, they have developed a natural understanding and share a passion for cooking. Both oversee preparation of Postrio's fresh-daily breads and pastas, in addition to guiding the restaurants on-site charcuterie.

Pastry chef Christine Law turns out the exquisitely tempting desserts such as: tangerine and blood orange gratin with tarragon sabayon; warm cappuccino brownie sundae with espresso ice cream and cocoa meringues; warm black Mission fig dumplings with raspberry port ice cream.
