Top of the Mark is one of the best contemporary restaurants in San Francisco for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Nob Hill.
Top of the Mark sits nearly twenty floors above the InterContinental Mark Hopkins, and its reputation rests on a premise that sounds simple but is genuinely difficult to execute: give people a room worthy of the city below it, and food that holds attention without competing with the view.
