Tommy Toy is one of San Francisco`s best known restaurateurs, and with good reason. Serving "cuisine chinoise" in a serenely exquisite space, Tommy Toy`s is worth a splurge. Lobster is a specialty: start with the lobster pot stickers and continue with the whole fresh Maine lobster, shelled and sauteed with pinenuts, mushrooms and a peppercorn sauce over crystal noodles. Minced squab "imperial" is another favorite, as is the tea and camphorwood-smoked duck. Antique fans, soft lighting and the muted jade and rose decor provide the perfect stage for these culinary delights.
