Arquet’s SF tasting detail
San Francisco’s new Arquet (from the Sorrel team) is turning heads with dishes like scallion fry bread topped with buffalo ricotta, grilled figs and backyard honey salsa macha — tasting‑menu notes that popped across dining previews in the last 48 hours. Early tasters are flagging the team’s fine‑dining pedigree. (x.com)
Arquet opened in the Ferry Building on Oct. 17, 2025, taking over the space long occupied by The Slanted Door at 1 Ferry Building, Suite 3. (winebusiness.com) (winebusiness.com) The project is led by chef Alex Hong and director of operations Joel Wilkerson, both billed as the core team behind the new restaurant and the adjacent bakery. (sfist.com) (sfist.com) Hong arrives at Arquet from Sorrel, the one‑starred restaurant he runs, a credential reviewers have repeatedly cited when describing the kitchen’s fine‑dining technique. (michelin.com) (guide.michelin.com) Parachute Bakery, the companion daytime counter from the same group, opened at the Ferry Building in early September 2025 and sold out large portions of its first days’ inventory amid long lines. (parachutebakery.com) (parachutebakery.com) The dining room operates a la carte across distinct “land,” “sea” and small‑plates sections with menu prices that range from single‑digit starters to mains in the $24–$72 band on the posted dinner menu. (arquetrestaurant.com) (arquetrestaurant.com) Early press response has been broadly positive: The Infatuation gave Arquet an 8.8 score and called it a reason to visit the Ferry Building, while multiple local outlets highlighted the wood‑fire cooking and the space’s immediate return to busy service.
