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.”

THE INFATUATION
"An ingredient rarely gets just one job here. Flawlessly poached king salmon comes with caramelized potato juice that tastes like a liquefied baked potato...
Come when you want the polish of a special-occasion dinner or fancy date night without having to spend the evening on your best behavior."

"...the new restaurant builds its $175, 10-course tasting menu around fermentation, preservation, and patience. Ora King salmon is paired with caramelized potato juice, dill, and a caviar chip. For dessert, Tarragon Perspective brings together green apple, basil, cream cheese, and its namesake herb."
