Postrio On The Upswing

Postrio interior

San Francisco Chronicle:

Sometimes a restaurant's consistency follows the same path as a volatile stock market, and the dips in quality can be staggering. Postrio, which has been one of the city's most popular restaurants for more than a decade, rode a bull market until a couple of years ago, when we started hearing complaints from readers. We checked it out on two return visits and agreed that the service was sloppy and the food had lost its edge.
Lately, the scuttlebutt has been that the situation had turned around, so I decided to check it out. When we were curtly told to wait in the bar or the lobby for our 6:45 p.m. reservation, I flashed back to previous visits. However, once we were seated, things improved. In addition to helpful service, the food has regained its luster.

The menu has changed somewhat, reflecting less of the personality of owner Wolfgang Puck and more of the personalities of Steven Rosenthal and Mitchell Rosenthal, the longtime chefs, who are also opening Town Hall later this year.
