SFLA | The Go-To Michelin Starred Seafood Haven 🦞🌟

📍Angler With the recent economic downturn, even once-impossible-to-book spots now have openings. Celebrating someone's "post-dog" era (lol), we finally checked off our must-visit: Angler—a Michelin-starred seafood spot with full Bay Bridge views! 🌉🐟 As a seafood fanatic, I found Angler flawless in flavor and freshness. It’s that bold, unapologetic ocean goodness—the kind where you take a bite and go, "Yep, this is why they’re famous." 👌🔥 No stuffy fine-dining vibe here! Despite the star, it’s à la carte, quick-service, and relaxed—no 3-hour forced formalities. The kitchen rocks open-fire grilling (primitive but PERFECT). 🍖🔥 Must-Orders 🍽️💫 ♥️ Whole Grilled Eel (Heads up: usually available Tue/Wed!) 🐍🔥 ♥️ Antelope Tartare (Looks intense but it’s beet-infused—fresh, crunchy, zero gaminess!) 🦌💖 ♥️ Slow-Roasted Hen of the Woods (Smoked over fire, almost jerky-like, with a punchy dipping sauce—best with bread!) 🍄🔥 ♥️ Live Scallop ($25 each) (Snow-white, buttery, barely seasoned—worth every penny!) 🐚💰 ♥️ Lassen Trout (Fresh but missing that fire-kissed magic.) 🐟❄️ ♥️ Hot Fried Collar (Mind-blowing. Fish "fried chicken"—crispy outside, juicy inside. Licked fingers guaranteed.) 🍗😋 ♥️ House Roll (Charcoal-kissed bread + killer sides. Fills you up!) 🍞✨ Final Bill: ~$300 for two (after tax/tip). Small portions, pricey—but for Michelin? A steal! Perfect for splurge-worthy dates or mini-celebrations. 🎉💸 Service? A bit robotic/rushed. Drinks? Meh. But the food? LOVE. 🥂 Seafood lovers, RUN. (P.S. They have an LA location too—same menu!) 🏃‍♀️💨 #BayAreaEats #MichelinStar #SFFoodie #SeafoodHeaven #SplurgeWorthy #SanFrancisco #LADining
