San Francisco Restaurant Review: Samovar
High time for tea at Samovar
- The Samovar Tea Lounge, tucked away at the top of the Yerba Buena Gardens, is in an irresistible location. Hidden from both Mission and Howard streets, the glassed-in tea room looks out to the Museum of Modern Art and the construction site of the new Jewish and Mexican museums from a perch next to flower gardens and a cascading fountain. Tea-takers on the patio are surrounded by an exciting urban landscape, the tapering glass St. Regis tower in the foreground and receding layers of skyscrapers in the distance. Yet, even at the epicenter of The City, Samovar radiates serenity.
