The cosy Marlowe (in the space that formerly housed South) is one of those places to eat in San Francisco that serves inspired American cooking (but with an international touch)-classic dishes such as steak tart a re, polenta with mushrooms, and, of course, a good old hamburger. It does so with panache, sourcing local ingredients when possible, and pairing entrées with an eclectic list of international wines that emphasizes lesser-known grapes. The refreshed space in Marlowe retains the same elbow-to-elbow aesthetic. A fun addition is the chalkboard with quotations about food chosen by the restaurant’s Twitter followers.
