Hey all, Thinking about hitting The Slanted Door while I’m in town in October, was wondering if reservations would be required for lunch of if I could bag a table by just walking in? Your assistance is appreciated as always....

, etc, and due to budget limits, a notch down from FINE dining. Is Slanted Door worth it? How about Greens? Any comments, suggestions very appreciated! Thanks!

Going to the Slanted Door tomorrow night for dinner. What are you favorite dishes?

I am heading up to SF for the weekend with my wife for our 12th anniv. I have reservations at both Slanted door (Friday night) and Michael Mina (Saturday Night). What do you think are the not to be missed dishes at both. Thanks in...
