Last Friday marked the opening of the highly anticipated restaurant Aveline, part of the Warwick San Francisco Hotel's renovation. Behind the restaurant is Chef Casey Thompson, Season Three Top Chef finalist and US Ambassador for Terrazas de los Andes, a Moet-Hennessey brand. The menu is Californian in style, (see above) and the restaurant's interior is clean, inviting, yet formal. Think glassed-in wine cellar, leather banquettes, lacquered moldings, and modern place settings. Conveniently, Aveline is just a hop, skip and jump away from my office. An in-person investigation just might be in order...
