The story
MKT Restaurant and Bar, at 757 Market St. in San Francisco, serves California cuisine on the fifth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco. The kitchen earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2020, and the dining room looks out over downtown from Market Street in the Financial District.
Executive chef Shaun Acosta leads the kitchen after more than 20 years with Four Seasons. A Northern California native, he has cooked in Hawaii, New York and Napa Valley before returning to the Bay Area. His approach is "less is more," with menus that follow the season and the region.
The menu relies on local producers, including Mary's chicken, Liberty Farms duck and Five Dot Ranch prime steaks. Service runs from breakfast through dinner, and the Bar & Lounge serves dinner on nights the main room is closed. Weekend brunch features dishes such as Dungeness Benedict.
