Isa Restaurant on Steiner St. had the best brioche served with seared fois and poached peach. Went back the next night just for that. Everthing else was superb as well. Possibly the best meal we had in S.F. and we were there to eat.

I didn't find Bishop's that expensive. Wine list starts at $30 ish with great selection around $50-$60 ish. They seemed more than willing to split appetizers without a surcahrge, creating your own tasting menu so to speak. Nicest glasswear and cutlery in town. Far less spent here than at Lumiere and had a much more memorable experience. Try to spend this kind of money in Seattle in the same calibre of restaurant. You'll be drinking Pelligrino and splitting main course.
