I recently asked recs for quiet restaurants in San Francisco, and it does seem that they are an anomaly.    We are lucky enough to travel a bit and have enjoyed many small restaurants kitchened by young chefs who turn out innovative food at reasonable prices.    The diners are young and hip and for the most part quiet spoken.   

 

Case in point, Korus whose current Japanese chef pushes the envelop with interesting but always approachable plates.

A simple amuse of radishes and tamara butter

Asparagus with safran hollandaise and poutargue

And one of my favorites of the evening, fresh peas with strawberries

This was a tasting menu at €59.   We added an excellently conceived wine pairing at €37.     All this plus super attentive service...and a soft buzzy ambiance in which you could actually hold a conversation.
