Slanted Door--a well known upscale Vietnamese fusion restaurant in San Francisco--charges double for menu items compared to regular Vietnamese restaurants. This restaurant has created a concept of being Americanized to where it caters to the middle class. Vietnamese restaurants are known not to necessarily strive to impress guest through service, for they feel as if their food would be impressive enough. Growing up with a Vietnamese background, I am used to the fast and inconsistent service, but for those that go to Vietnamese restaurants are always really upset with the service they are given. However, if you are interested in eating delicious Vietnamese food followed by incredible service, Slanted Door is the place to go!
Mexico DF, located on Steuart Street by the Embarcadero, is an Americanized Mexican restaurant that serves gourmet Mexican food but charges almost double as opposed to regular Mexican food served in Taquerias. This restaurant is definitely charging for the atmosphere and the service, although the food was very tasty! A lot of times restaurants that strive to impress guests by the services given, charge quite a lot for what they have to offer.
