Rubicon

By tablehopper   Feb 27, 2007

One of my very best friends and I have a ritual for our respective birthdays: we take each other out for “ladies who lunch,” which always entails a minimum of a two-to-three hour lunch and at least one bottle of champers. Past destinations have included The Rotunda (numerous times) and Café Claude, but when my birthday fell on a Wednesday this last November, I knew I wanted ~RUBICON~ to be it since the sole time they serve lunch is on Wednesdays.

Rubi-pros out weigh Rubicons

By Daily Feed   Jul 12, 2006

Rubicon serves lunch on one day and one day only: Wednesday. This hump day is no dump day (if you are on the wall about shelling out a kingly sum for a nicely put together men-u that you can fall for.) The horse douvre (to eggstract last bit of Humpty-ness – I promise) was an amuse of salmon tartare with a teriyaki sauce over a thin slice of cuke which I quickly popped in my bouche as I ordered the prix fixe “business lunch” ($25 for two courses plus your choice of dessert.)

Rubicon

By VinDivine   Apr 02, 2006

Ok, how the hell can you go wrong with a restaurant owned in part by the following: Robert DeNiro (You talkin' to me?), Robin Williams (Only saw LIVE 11 times so far and go to Bimbos to see him practice whenever he is there.), Francis Ford Coppola (OK, director of our favorite movie of all time, GF 1 and 2 to be clear), Drew Nieporent (the guy who actually has to KNOW something about running many restaurants with all of these superstars around).

Legends Die Too

By ChuckEats   Feb 22, 2006

I went here for lunch a few weeks ago - how disappointing. This is one of those I’ve-been-traveling-too-much-to-try-restaurants-in-my-own-home-town restaurants; a hole in my resume. It’s nationally known for its wine program but the chef left for Canteen and the wine director left for greener pastures too. FULL REVIEW

Dine About Town 2006: Part Two, Rubicon

By Passionate Eater   Feb 02, 2006

Although Dine About Town 2006 has officially drawn to a close, I'd like to dig it up again for one last time. Every year, I vow to get the better of expensive restaurants. So this year, during Dine About Town, I chose the place where I would get the best "bang for my buck." All signs led me to Rubicon--the one owned by legendary Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola.

Rubicon -- Not Just for Business Dinners Anymore

By Gastronomie   Jan 18, 2006

It's hard to say what made us go back to Rubicon... we'd been there less than a month ago for a holiday dinner with my company. Dinner that night was exceptionally good -- everyone raved as we walked out, and we all found ourselves asking "What happened here?" FULL REVIEW

Restaurant Review: Rubicon

By San Francisco Gourmet   Jun 26, 2005

When it first opened in 1994, Rubicon was considered by many to be in the upper-tier of the city’s fine dining destinations. The dining room was always full, the food was well crafted and beautifully presented, and the restaurant had a definite “buzz.” By the late 1990’s, however, establishments like The French Laundry, Gary Danko and Fleur de Lys had set new standards of excellence, effectively leaving many of the old guard far behind. So, when I started hearing rave reviews about a young new chef at Rubicon with the potential to make the restaurant a contender once more, I was more than a little intrigued. FULL REVIEW

Rubicon, In Brief

By Food Musings   Mar 07, 2005

So Mr. Food Musings and I have an informal dining out club - it's really just four of us who, in a desperate attempt to keep up with all the new restaurants that are continually opening in SF, pledged to eat out together once a month at a spot none of us has visited. So far, our best meal has been at Limon. FULL REVIEW

Rubicon San Francisco - strangely underappreciated

By Gastronomie   Sep 22, 2004

So, I've never quite been able to convince myself to spend the cash on Rubicon - it's a "vendor dinner" as I like to classify them, and in the same class as Aqua. FULL REVIEW

Restaurant Review: Rubicon, San Francisco

By Vinography   May 18, 2004

I’ll just get it right out of the way and say that Rubicon is, and has been for years, quite possibly my favorite restaurant in San Francisco – I ate there when it first opened in 1994 and have been back many times since. However, for all the dining out that Ruth and I do, we’ve never been since we have been together. So when we decided to take a close friend of hers from out of town to a nice dinner, I called up last week and got us a table. Rubicon offers a polished and consistent dining experience that is much more intimate than the larger restaurants like Jardiniere and Aqua that compete in offering haute-California cuisine to business and epicurean diners in San Francisco.
