Restaurant Athanor is the next chapter from Chef Mike Lanham, the chef behind Anomaly SF at 2600 Sutter Street in San Francisco.

Athanor builds on Anomaly's technique-driven tasting-menu approach with a new culinary identity focused on exceptional ingredients transformed through modern technique.

Chef Lanham defines his finest work as food that seems extremely minimal, but is completely submerged in technique. “My ongoing personal commitment is to continually elevate our culinary offerings, introducing novel and captivating dishes paired with interesting beverages. The staff and I want every guest to enjoy a unique and memorable dining experience.”
