Kiln SF | A Shining Two-Star Birthday Feast ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
Another birthday, another beautiful meal โ this time at Kiln, the hot spot that jumped from one to two Michelin stars in just a year!๐ The tasting menu unfolded over 20 courses, starting with delicate seafood, moving into rich red meats, and ending with elegant desserts. I noticed a clever use of bright acidity and airy foams throughout, keeping each bite refreshing and layered. But hereโs the thing โ the pacing wasโฆ deliberate. ๐ฐ๏ธ We waited quite a while between dishes, which honestly kept me in a state of perpetual appetite โ every bite felt anticipated and savored. The entire experience stretched over 4+ hours, breaking my personal record for longest dinner (previously held by La Mer in Hawaii, though that had sunset ocean views to help pass the time!).๐ Maybe thatโs Kilnโs secret โ mastering fullness through pace and anticipation? Despite the marathon duration, it was a deeply satisfying and memorable meal โ perfect for celebrating someone special. ๐ Kiln SF | Two Michelin Stars โณ Go with time to spare | Ideal for celebrations ๐ Perfect for: birthdays, anniversaries, milestone dinners #KilnSF #MichelinTwoStar #TastingMenu #BirthdayDinner #FineDining #SFFoodie #LongButWorthIt #BayAreaEats #EatSlowly #CelebrationMeals ๐ฅ๐
