Ana Mandara

Yes, Don Johnson is part owner. But more importantly, this Fisherman's Wharf favorite serves excellent, inventive Vietnamese food in an outstandingly beautiful setting. Chef Khai Duong is considered a pioneer of modern Vietnamese cuisine with stacks of awards to back up the claim. Amid a shuttered room with mood lighting, palm trees, and Vietnamese-inspired decor, diners (mostly tourists) splurge on crispy rolls, lobster ravioli with mango and coconut sauce, and wok-charred tournedos of beef tenderloin with sweet onions and peppercress. There is no more expensive Vietnamese dining room in town, but, along with the enjoyable fare, diners pay for the atmosphere, which, if they're in the neighborhood and want something more exotic than the standby seafood dinner, is worth the price.
