Two well known talents in San Francisco’s food and restaurant scene were collaborating for the first time, Ron Siegel in the kitchen creating simple, contemporary American cuisine that is not over-manipulated and Camber Lay at the bar creating an all new mixology program for the destination restaurant. The restaurant’s menu seeks inspiration along the geographic latitude Parallel 37 with food and wine celebrating the many cultures in the San Francisco Bay Area.

When you think of the Ritz-Carlton, what’s the first thought that comes to mind? Worldly elegance, breathtaking decor, exquisite taste, amazing service and top notch everything? Well yes, all those do come to mind for most of us and the pre-party held at their new restaurant in San Francisco, Parallel 37, on December 9th did not fail to stand up to these standards.
