San Francisco fine dining has always been confident enough in its own reputation to charge tasting-menu prices without much explanation. What it's less confident about is what's actually in the sauce, and a room full of tablecloths and sommeliers does not automatically mean anyone in the kitchen has thought carefully about cross-contact. This list is the fine dining spots across the city that actually handle gluten-free with the same care they apply to everything else on the plate. For now, the neighborhood lists are further along: Fine Dining in Russian Hill and Fine Dining in Dogpatch are good places to start, and gluten-free pizza is here when you want something less ceremonial.
