For New Year’s Eve this year we experienced a special treat
with a fantastic dining experience in San Francisco at a restaurant called Maybeck’s.
This modern Italian-American restaurant is owned by
Erik Lowe and Aaron Toensing previously from BIX and Fog City. Both individuals bring a wealth of cooking expertise to this iconic American mid-priced restaurant located at Scott and Lombard in the heart of San Francisco’s Marina district.

One of the house favorites is the Beef Wellington which we
ordered as our main entrée and we were not disappointed. In addition,
their elaborate menu will satisfy any ‘foodie’ appetite. An extensive wine list
and assortment of cocktails are also available. There is a $25 corking fee if
you bring your own wine. We brought a bottle of Jesse Katz’s Aperture Cabernet
Sauvignon that paired well with the Beef Wellington.
We were pleasantly surprised when Erik sent us a tasting of Hamachi
on a forbidden rice cake with avocado and a serrano chile. It was a great way
to start our dining adventure. We would also recommend trying the chopped salad
and the garlic bread. For dessert we enjoyed the Dark Chocolate
Molten Cake and the sensational Spumoni ice cream.
Maybeck’s has nightly specials and we
look forward to returning on a Sunday night where they feature Spaghetti
night. The fried chicken can also be
ordered at any time.
We would highly recommend that you add this San Francisco restaurant to your ‘must do’ list.
