Making Vietnamese food hip since 1995, The Slanted Door packs in locals, who've made days- or weeks-in-advance reservations for a table in the sleek Ferry Building bearings. Sweeping views of the Bay and a relaxed atmosphere complement the traditional Vietnamese cooking, which makes this destination-dining spot one of the country's most acclaimed Vietnamese restaurants. Local ingredients find their way into traditional cooking methods, making for attractive combinations such as caramelized chicken clay pot with ginger and chiles, five-spiced duck legs, and spicy Japanese eggplant with coconut milk. Wines, cocktails and specially imported teas enhance the dining experience. Nominated as Most Outstanding Restaurant (national) in 2008 James Beard Foundation awards.
